First, I got the message:
“Welcome to Oshcom services.All calls are monitored for copyright and trademark purposes.”
Then:
“If you have money problems please press 1.
If you have relationship problems please press 2.
If you have mental problems please press 3.
For all other spiritual enquiries please hold the line.”

“We are experiencing difficulties in connecting you due to Kali Yuga. Your enlightenment is important to us, please hold…”

Then I got through to what sounded like an Indian call centre:
“Hallo, this is Arun speaking, how can I help you today?”

Like asking for for help if you lose your car keys or you dyed your hair and it came out the wrong colour.

Ask people like Sai Baba for these kind of issues…

I AM GOING SOON TO THE WEST. OSHO, IF I CALL YOU THERE, WILL YOUR HELP BE AVAILABLE TO ME, AS IT HAS BEEN AVAILABLE HERE?

“CALL ME ONLY WHEN IT IS ABSOLUTELY NEEDED, when you find that now nothing can be done. First try to do all that you can do. And out of a hundred cases, ninety-nine you will not need to call me. And if you have not called me for ninety-nine cases, you have earned for the hundredth case – you can expect me in every possible way. But don’t make it an everyday thing.

Let me tell you one anecdote – and it is a true anecdote. It has already happened. And I say it is true because it comes to me from a very reliable source: Kamal has sent this story to me.
 
One day, Swami Arup Krishna, alias Chainani, and Sadar Gurdayal Singh were coming towards the ashram. It had rained for two, three days, and the roads were muddy and dirty water had collected everywhere, and the gutters were overflowing. And on a banana peel, Gurdayal slipped. Not only that: a small coin fell from his pocket and was lost into the gutter.

He immediately cried, “Satya Sai Baba, Satya Sai Baba – help me!”
Of course, Arup Krishna was very surprised. He said, “Gurdayal, have you gone crazy? You are Osho’s disciple!”
Gurdayal said, “What do you mean? Should I call Osho in this dirty water in the gutter?!”
 
So remember it: whenever you need really, and it is not dirty water and a gutter, and not only a small coin is lost – then follow Gurdayal.”

Osho: ‘The Discipline of Transcendence’, Vol 3, Chapter #2

Maybe I will try when very desperate!

Cheers!

Cheers!

Much better way of getting some worthwhile feedback than from egocentric ex-sannyasins, who quite plainly don’t have a trace of self-awareness, and who spend their lives orbiting their own bottoms.

Well, Tan, according to your choice quote that “The healthy person has no concern what should be, his whole concern is the immediate, the rest is none of the person’s business”, I cannot say anything, because being stuck is your whole concern and anything beyond that is none of your business.

Thus you leave yourself with no way out of being stuck, because you would have to move out of the immediate by seeing that you could get unstuck. In fact, you must have moved out of the immediate in order to realise you were stuck in the first place.

Anyway, how do you know you are stuck if you cannot leave the immediate to see that unstuckness could be a possible reality? No, Tan, unless you change your stuck attitude you will remain stuck for ever and ever. Besides, how can you possibly keep up with the mad world if you are stuck? Being stuck means you cannot keep up with anything.

Maybe you just imagine you are stuck. As one believes the world to be so it will appear. You believe you are stuck and that the world is mad and, abracadabra, just like that, you have it.

Ehm…I reckon if you believe that you are also capable of believing that there is an alien base on the dark side of the moon.
