Thanks, Kavita. Can you believe that listening to any love song, it reminds me of Osho, till a bird’s song! It is how things are…

Happy New Year to you and to everybody in SN.

Happy New Year, to Madhu and all the regulars here on SN.
To be honest, I am quite glad to say adios to 2015. It was a tough year for me. Not complaining, just saying.
So, bring on 2016. Rock ‘n’ Roll!

Yes, Lokesh, you are right! And there is nothing better in the world than to have a peaceful and happy sleep, it’s heavenly!

Only stupid fools bother about enlightenment! If I am not mistaken, you said it yourself and I couldn’t agree more! X

Have a beautiful ´New Years Eve´, Everybody!

And special thanks to Lokesh to come up the the ´Wheelrighters´ Parable and cooling down some upheavals – the latter brought some sanity, which I very much enjoy.

I was reminded of similar stuff, a parable about a Zen Master of Archery in ancient times and some monks of His monastery looking for a successor, which failed for quite a while and had to go a ´natural’ way, so to say.

It’s a story about modesty, and real and not enforced empowerment.

Wish you well, all of you!

Madhu

Well, Shantam, the pretenders reap what they sow. No need for you to be concerned because you are not pretending to be enlightened.

Pretending to be enlightened creates massive stress in the human body. Our cells do not like that kind of stress, because it damages them. The eventual breakdown that results from this kind of stress can take myriad forms, from heart attack, stroke, neurological illness etc, in fact just like the stress-created illness that kills millions every year in our modern-day, stress-filled society.

The pretenders know what their own game is, although perhaps not the completely delusional in their ranks. In the middle of the night, when they are curled up tight, it will come to them.
