Beloved Alok, in the same spirit Arun sw advises…better come to camps and ask all Q yourself.

There is no violence, well, I am sure you know it.

Only suggestions and love

Arun sw is in UK from 15 to 31 Aug. Camp on bank hol in Croydon Hall

With love
Chetna

“Whatsoever I say is only a suggestion. It is not a prescription and you are not to follow it, because then I become the authority and I start forcing my ideas of happiness on you, and it goes on and on and on. These are just my suggestions. If you feel—and you have to feel—do them. Do them because you feel they are right, not because I have said them….

If you cannot decide, consult the I Ching! wobble22

Whenever you come across something in my words which is going against your experience in any way, immediately come and check it, because I am saying so many things to so many people and each person is so different….

So whenever something goes against your grain, then immediately check. If something is going with your grain and everything is flowing, there is no need to check; then it is for you. But the ultimate criterion is your experience. bite11

Many people, particularly Indians, write to me asking why I am not giving a certain discipline to my sannyasins. I cannot—I am not their enemy. I am not in any way here to dominate anybody, I am not here to dictate. I can help you to understand, then it is up to you. Out of your understanding if something happens in your life, good, but if it happens because I have said it then it is ugly. Then sooner or later you will repent, then sooner or later you will take revenge on me.

I am your friend. I can help you to be more alert; that’s my whole function. And then whatsoever is good follows so silently, just like your shadow. It makes no noise and it does not give any ego to you. As you become more aware, all ego disappears. You become more and more humble, more and more simple, more and more ordinary. And that ordinariness is divine, that simplicity is sacred. But discipline has to arise in you. I can commune with you my understanding, I can share with you my experience, that’s all; then it is for you to decide what to do and what not to do.

My sannyasins have to learn how to live in freedom. I know it is very difficult for you too—even my sannyasins ask: “If you give us definite rules it will be easier for us to follow them.” I know it will be easier because that’s what you have been doing your whole life. Somebody has been giving you orders and you have been following; that has become your habit. You would like me also to be a father figure, just to tell you that this has to be done and this has not to be done. That makes things cheap and simple you need not bother, you can simply depend on me. But that creates dependence and you lose something immensely valuable: you lose your freedom, you lose your independence, you lose your individuality, you lose yourself. And that is not my purpose here.

My purpose here is to make you more and more unique individuals, more and more authentic individuals. I would like you to take the responsibility of your life upon your own shoulders totally so that you become completely free of all kinds of father figures. That brings great blessing and great benediction. ggate102″

frank has admitted to editing under multiple names here . People only do this for disruptive devious means. this is an osho site but there is no check on the people editing here.
As I said the falseness surroundind the chat here makes it worthless.On the site I linked too you are checked and can have only one identity.

Amrito, I just read your reply, remember I am in a very different time zone from you, and my computer internet hook up is very slow, so some of the answer do not get loaded immediately, or so, so Yes, Yogis love to get upset. Specially when someone remarks funny things about yoga. I have some very nice yogi friends and I do not have any criticism on their practice.
