On the other hand, Shantam, by making such extreme emotions so ultimately important (which for you are apparently bound up with the thirst for ‘social excitement’ I mentioned earlier) you are self-evidently the author of your own suffering, the discontent and unhappiness you have made sure everyone here knows about, having informed us time and again here over many years.

Since when has ‘love’ made anyone unhappy? Perhaps what you call ‘love’ is not that at all, but just emotion, basically emotional need. Like this need to ‘merge’ in excitement with thousands of others – somewhat similar to a football fan, in fact!

Perhaps that’s another lesson for you in the situation….

Tough, it seems, for those like yourself who place huge importance – and undue significance – on what might be termed ‘social excitement’, but I suggest you remember and meditate on Osho’s own warning, when inviting everyone to come to him, that ‘such a door won’t be open for long’ (not an exact quote, but the gist of what he said).

And if you find yourself unhappily ‘high and dry’, as it were, with ‘nowhere to go but down’, then I suggest you look closely at what you were or are really looking for. Because if it’s only or mainly ‘social excitement’ then right now you might be getting your just desserts, ie not what you wanted, but what you need. ‘Existence taking care’ again…?

Though I will say, every Osho festival has lost the relevance, just like leaves and fruit don´t grow from a fallen tree.

This post I am writing from a German seaside resort. It is bursting with people, young and old, top class infrastructure, shuttle taxi to take people to the beach, swimming pool and sauna…just like Jayesh´s Osho Resort.
Come, enjoy and go…

Question is, when thousands such resorts are full with people, why Pune Resort is crying for people just like a widow´s lonely nights?

By killing the emotions, you kill the love. In such man-made relations like master-disciple, role of emotions is paramount, otherwise what is the difference between an Acharya and an Osho?

From what I gather about your last post is that you mean (correct me if i’m wrong) that the personality (ego) uses Truth, insight and silence to manipulate and silence others? And the harm and hurt it can cause?

For me, the things I’m writing down here are like pointers, they surface again and again afterwards, and like in Enlightenment Intensive the question is: is this true, or is it just a belief? So this is the bottom line, otherwise it’s just a fighting and comparing with points of view, as if to say: the point of vieuw from where I’m seeing Truth or Existence is better then your point of vieuw from where you see Existence!

In my experience, what I wrote about Existence is not just spiritual mumbo jumbo; yes, as a concept it is, but the challenge moment-to-moment, to see what is mumbo-jumbo and not true, and then let it go, is hard work, and ultimately an act of surrender.

I have never, for even a second, thought of you as someone associated with Hitler.

Or, is it that ‘Existence takes care of everything’ when we, ie the individual, has done his/her ‘share’ of the ‘work’?

IE, ‘Existence is taking care’ of a lot of things, but by no means everything?

You misunderstood -
and I am quite sure you will find a way to eloquently respond that it´s me who does not understand.
And maybe Arpana’s new piece on ‘Hitler’ is just tiring me of either responding with esoteric eloquence or some old pattern of self-service ‘go’ on a caravanserai-autobahn…

So – just for the moment – I’d like to ask you if you could read what I answered to the questions of the moderators (at 6.00 pm) and to Satyadeva (at 6.20 pm)?

There are indeed many ways to get silenced and there are other ways to share a silence or what comes out of silence, if these are words then as a response and not out of a robot-like repetitive old mechanism.

I am tired just now, very much so,
and tomorrow, if that happens, is another day.
