Comments on: I don’t feel it has it been fully appreciated how difficult it must have been for those very close to Osho

Anyone gets tired of repetition but this is not the case with Shri Rajneesh: he is a one who concerns more with element, I suppose! But the listener to him is not knowing the element as is the nature of element…

See! Many a time I myself was reminded by him when he asserts, yet despite the fact that it doesn’t need to be said more, least to my person!!! Yet I often hear – I AM GOING TO STOP SPEAKING – IN MIDDLE OF A SENTENCE!

Well, Shantam, seeing as how you want to promote Osho’s vision, I’d say that having looked the man directly in the eye might be an asset in that department. Then again, I looked into Osho’s eyes a number of times and I cannot honestly say what Osho’s vision is. Perhaps I’m someone who is preoccupied with his own vision rather than that of others. Maybe I need glasses. If I get confused I can always repeat that trusty sannyas mantra; ‘Life is a mystery to be lived….’ Oh dear, I’ve forgotten the second part…ah well, probably wasn’t that important anyway. That’s the thing…anything you can forget is not the truth.

Good point, BV.
Also, not forgetting he was never born and never died,
…eternity-1931
and 1990-eternity…
are probably pretty good too!

Shantam Prem says:
…As part of my life history, from January 1987 till January 2005, India was Pune and Pune was Osho Ashram.

But then you missed his best period, which was from 1935-1948.

Talking Osho face-to-face, what kind of qualification is this, Lokesh?
I hope after getting some inspiration from you, one of Osho’s siblings can come forward, “How come these disciples claim to understand Osho? They don’t have the same holy DNA”.
After all, blood is thicker than water!

As part of my life history, from January 1987 till January 2005, India was Pune and Pune was Osho Ashram.

Which means, of course, in Shantamspeak, that he, Shantam, the one who questions what kind of contact people had with Osho, never actually met and talked to Osho face-to-face. Hardly surprising, seeing as how his overloaded chuddies would have been giving off such a hum the sniffers would have keeled over.

Satyadeva,
You know I was trying to be a smart arse. Thanks for helping me out.

But crying profusely at Billy Graham meetings isn’t necessarily evidence of “profundity”, Roman. Especially in the case of the man who indulged himself in it six times.

That last bit should perhaps read, “People love such emotional release, they love the excitement of it all, the relief of believing their pain is being healed. Some can even become addicted to it.”
