Yes, Chetna, cool response, appreciated.
At present I am on the road and can’t help noticing what an incredible amount of disfunctional people, suffering from a variety of nervous disorders, are walking the streets of the world’s cities.
I can’t help thinking what a godsend Osho’s meditation techniques would be for so many of these poor people…if…and this is a big IF—those people could have access to those healing meditation techniques.
On that level at least I am all for spreading the word.

It is very inspiring to read your posts Lokesh. I feel you are a mature individual and a seeker, which is a rare thing in the sannyas world at times.

Beautifully I have heard Osho commenting on this this morning when I was listening to his discourse. His words were-“they exist because of your need”.

I cannot agree more that “most enlightened people tend to keep quiet, don’t gossip and they mind their own business”. I have been told by my dear friend to actually be aware of those who declare their enlightments. I do feel alert and frankly mostly get put off by the enlightened sannyasins, who make enlightment so cheap. But I do hope to be wrong and all of them are really enlightened for themselves and for this world. Yes, Lokesh, I should mind my own business (growth) meanwhile.

I don’t agree that it is a trivial thing to discover that you are following a false guru. When I look around I see that is what most people are doing in one form or another and the best thing that could happen would be for them to wake up to their situation.
As for your thoughts on satsang teachers, quote: But for some reason they exist in existence.
I suspect that there might be no reason whatsoever for their existence, other than a simple case of the blind following the blind. Or perhaps the unelightened teacher is fulfilling a necessary role for those who need to play pupils or disciples. To say there is some reason suggests that the world is a reasonable place. It is not. Somewhere down the line I seem to remember Osho celebrating the meaningless of existence. I can dig that.
I have met a few of the Advaita teachers who came out of the Papaji scene in Lucknow. They did not strike me as being particularly enlightened, but then again I recall Papaji telling me to be quiet, not to gossip and mind my own business. I have to admit it is very good advice on many levels and it works wonders.
The thing is…especially in sanyassin circles, there is some general notion going round that if you become enlightened everyone will know about it after you declare your enlightenment. Then the work of changing the world into a better place begins. I don’t think so. Most enlightened people I’ve come acrooss you would pass on the street and pay little heed to, because they tend to keep quiet, don’t gossip and they mind their own business.

“Even a false guru can teach you something….”

That’s true, but life is too short to waste it to understand this trivial thing that you are following a false guru.
The whole world is false and to fall with the false guru is just to remain in the ditch.

But you, know, I always wondered there are so many satsang teachers now, and let’s say many of them are false. They talk of something that they cannot dream of themselves. But for some reason they exist in existence. They have a role in this world and maybe they even help those who are ready, of course unconsciously and would have gotten there anyways.

Thanks God Osho spoke, even though it took him 20 years to start. Others really keep quiet. And what is there to say for them?

I wonder….

Yes, Chinmaya, you are right in what you say – on the surface – …but really, is there such a thing as a false guru? Even a false guru can teach you something….even if it is just to wake you up to the fact that you are following a false guru.
Ultimately none of this who is enlightened or not phenomena matters very much…the great Hindu teachers pointed out that life is a leela, a cosmic play of consciousness. To get caught up in the pursuit of enlightenment is also an illusion.
New era of enlightened sanyassins….I doubt it…remember, the joke is on you.

Chetna, you are very correct, New Era of Osho Enlightened Sanyasins is spreading at a Tempest speed, as leaders.

NOW, Mostly Indian Gurus are womanisers, fraud, cheat and money collectors with the connivance of Mafia, by exploiting the innocent people in the name of religion with rotten stories.

Nice post Lokesh-I agree with you.

“The time of the Indian gurus is over. We have all the tools at our disposal to wake up to who we really are. Right here right now.”

There is still a market for Indian gurus and others. Osho enlightened sannyaisins for example will soon take up the lead in the world.

And you are so right that we have all the tools! Let the fools be fooled, if it makes them feel secure and superior.

Thanks to Prem Martyn for stirring the pot containing some very old and mouldy stew, even though it would appear to be a response to a current issue.
Back in the good old days, Osho was a flag for the rebellious of spirit to rally round. Today, what goes on in his name has little or nothing to do with what the man was about…pure rebellion against all the bullshit and hypocrasy that is respected in the world today. Osho is dead and gone and if he is who and what he said he was he is really gone forever. He left us his dream. Open to interpretation, this to me means what he always said…we are all Buddhas. A real master is not the one with the most disciples but the one who sets his or her disciples free of the need for a master.
The time of the Indian gurus is over. We have all the tools at our disposal to wake up to who we really are. Right here right now. If you don’t realize this and you are reading this I’ll let you in on a secret…you are lost!
Osho International is a business. As Osho once said, ‘God is not for sale’. How can any rebel sanyassin take this nonsense about passing on his books seriously? It is kids’ stuff.
The old man loved his rebels and we loved him. Anyone involved with Osho International has opted for the status quo, The rebels are still around, but I very much doubt you’ll find any of them in Pune, because it is a filthy city and the rebels worship fresh air.
Anyone interested in free Osho tapes, books, vids etc please contact….
