Osho would have been familiar with this old Noor Jahan tune from an old film:

News, what is “news”?

Earlier this week, one of Pakistan’s most respected musicians was shot and killed by the Taliban in Karachi. His name was Amjad Sabri. He was a Sufi. Just the sort of music that Osho liked.

The Taliban issued a statement saying he was killed because they considered his music blasphemous.

The songs Sabri developed and performed went back to the 13th Century. They are know as Qawwalis and steeped in mysticism. Some of these songs focus on the life of Mohammed. That is the stupid core objection of these extreme conservative moslems, and also of course their objection to music itself.

Why on earth they feel they have a right to take life because of such an idiotic view is beyond me. But sadly, it has happened.

But who knows about it? I know, because I keep my eye open for such things, but will it be reported in the press today – no, the English press will be full of Brexit stuff which is such a nonsense to a mystic, it only deserves our neutrality and lack of interest.

The death of Sabri should colour our day and give us a proper emptiness, to allow our full-hearted bereavement for such a man and musician.

Thanks for this of your contributions, Tan. We saw it already, didn´t we? But yet have to wait for its good effect?

The first very warm summer night here; clear sky above full of stars, they even show up amidst the city, a city which does not really know the velvet darkness of the night.

Jasmin and roses blossom and sharing their intoxicating flavour.

I am listening to violins and a cello on the radio (a contemporary composer).

Perhaps Osho would have been interested in MJ as a disciple. I think that MJ was the richest man in the world at the time, and after all, Osho was the rich man’s guru.

And MJ had shoulder-pads that Osho would have admired.

But I think it was a bit cheeky for Osho to turn up at one of Michael’s shows without a ticket, and I’m sure that MJ wouldn’t have approved, he was a Christian and if he had been aware of some of Osho’s talks, ie ‘Christianity, the deadliest poison….’

Hilarious. After I took sannyas, a guy I know started reading books on meditation and nagged me constantly about using the word ‘I’, which he studiously avoids doing to this day, although he doesn’t attempt to lecture me anymore.
