		<description><![CDATA[
Are human beings and specially educated human beings who came to Osho can be treated as drops in the pond or leaves on the trees? 
In my opinion, leaves on the trees is more fitting and realistic metaphor.  

Leaves don´t merge with each other, they keep their identity and presence yet without them tree won´t be a tree. 

I feel Ashram around Osho was like Jungle in that sense. Different variety of trees co-existing and growing. so idea of complete merger is a fallacy. People sitting in mosques can be like drops in the pond, but not Europeans-based religious movements. Nature of different seeds is like this.

Trees around Buddha Hall are the eye witness. 
During the end months, Osho has dedicated one of His books to the bunch of bamboos.

PS: Life is different now. Trees are replaced by plants and flower pots. And what amazes me the most is that all can see this change of reality, yet dare not speak, including those who are the public faces of Osho. 

Only reason can be, Indian names have made Europeans mellow. God´s natural justice happens on the right time in the right season in this eternity. 

Indian collective mind only cares about oneself and the family around. Social and public ethics don´t exist, and they look as happy and satisfied as sannyasins are trying to be!

		<description><![CDATA[I really feel that I must complain about the base and lurid depths it appears the SN editorial team has stooped to! I cannot believe I am the only one to have noticed? It is beyond any doubt that we the viewers are being abused by the serving up of puerile and gratuitous innuendoe and filth rite under our very noses! It&#039;s scandalous and something needs to be done about it! 

To what do I refer specifically? Well for the most innocent amongst you, please look no further than the sub-title: &#039;Are Oshoites the only meditators? Shantam takes aim.&#039; Who in heaven&#039;s name refers to Osho sannyasins as Oshoites? The latter is quite clearly a play on the word &#039;shoite&#039; meaning &#039;shit&#039;, whereas  the &#039;O&#039; is an Irish prefix used in surnames. As for the bit about &#039;Shantam takes aim&#039;, please draw your own conclusions, I have drawn mine.

Keep up the good work boys...I am genuinely impressed!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
With a &quot;hammer&quot;, I meant the use of verbal attacks with insults and contempt and/or emotional abuse, indulging in fantasies of violent sexual distortions.

With &quot;left me in terms of occupation&quot;, I meant that the way of being pre-occupied with investigating my motives and character simply dropped from me when I found out that I kind of misused concepts for keeping the illusion of concepts for another illusion: that of control.
I loved it when once Osho used the metaphor of that insect with a thousand little feet: 
pondering about which feet to start the journey...and then- no surprise - couldn&#039;t move any more!
I sometimes felt like that; and I so much loved the laughter of that little story he told us.

Present state is:
I haven&#039;t overcome yet both of the points you have been asking about:
neither that I still attract violence in one or another way,
nor  the fear - sometimes deep - and then the often cunning of the mind to invent some control strategies, trying  to stay in conceptual thinking as if having a shield of protection to avoid feeling the pain (of the issue).

Well, 
life itself is the teacher
and same kind of lessons are presented over and over again 
seemingly little bit different (spiralling)

And life this morning is good to me
this moment - everything -
hello to out-there and in-site too

Love

Madhu]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Oshoites – the Superiority Complex&quot; - I wish the title could have been better than this. Why only Oshoites? this kind of superiority complex is in every spiritual group. That hinders them from mixing and mingling with their fellow travellers from other groups. 

Now within Oshoites we have different groups that don&#039;t merge with others. When there is an Osho event happening in their town / city, some &quot;Oshoites&quot; don&#039;t participate because they think the facilitator is not representing true Osho, or he/she is old-fashioned, so on and so forth.]]></description>
