We`ve got Nurse Ratchet and Swami Scratchit
But I prefer
Terry Pratchett:
“The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.”

“It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. That is true, it’s called Life.”
Etc.

Run, lads. Nurse Prachet is on the warpath.

People indulging in – or ´feeling gripped´ by – such third-rate literature-stuff must have had (have) a very poor sex life (not to speak of missing deeply some erotic measures) themselves.

@ Madhu

For me, enlightenment is nothing special. Just riding the bull, enjoying life.

Anyway, I don’t know what enlightenment is, only Indians know. And I am not Indian.

Yes, quite, er, `enlightening`, isn`t it? Although I found the part where Sheela puts on the strap-on dildo a bit much.

There have been a couple of positive books by women on their experiences with Sai Baba and Adi Da: ‘Huffing and Puffing in the Bedroom of the Master- Finding the Buddha Inside’ was one of them.

Shantam, read Meera’s bhajans, Kabir’s songs, Jesus’s sayings, Moses etc.

They were not so-called educated people. Same type of people still exist around the world. We just need to be receptive to the vibes. Meditate…meditate…

Education is good as well in this age of technology.

SS, I found ‘Legs Wide Open’ to be a gripping read. It completely changed my perception of Osho and what enlightenment really means in terms of group sex and heroin use.

“Enlightenment is an Indian concept. Only Indians can become enlightened, simple.”

Politically incorrect truth from new faceless blogger called Satchit! Are you an Indian Satchit or truth-loving Britisher?

Who knows, Swamis and Mas from the West have already reserved their place for their last trip to Earth for Enlightenment via India? In that case, most probably they won´t come across their Bhagwan´s books like most of the enlightened ones in Indian villages, as another Indian Kusum has pointed.

If I am a landlord again to do good with my undoings of this life, most probably i will offer this life´s friends a very good job to toll the land and live simple and respectful life with many many children! (lols)

Thanks for your valuable question the other day, Satchit. I´ve been using my irritation of how you formulated it, as energy for further research and meditation.

There is a ´need´, which is a more intrinsic quality, more universal in terms of evolution of the species we are part of. It can´t be made up – the whole processing. It’s just happening and I guess any moment, if we are open for it.

The word ´ enlightenment´ is as misused as the word ´guru´ or ´love´.
And the word ´insight´ (?) – just a momentary flicker like a spotlight, very partially mostly, very momentary, at the best a small ´satori´ happening. Mostly leaving a memory, sometimes a haunting memory (if ever).

There is a need to stay open for irritation though. If possible.

I don´t have an answer to your question but I am still enjoying your question. Your question is an alive one.

Couldn’t find that one listed anywhere, but I did come across ‘Legs Wide Open – Tales From An Air-Con Room’ by Ma Prikshafta (Claire Eastman), who claims that every night ten girls were laid out on Osho’s bed in his room by Sheela and then injected with synthetic heroin – nasty stuff…I won’t say anymore.

The most shocking revelation in the book was that the Earth is being controlled by mutant lizards from their moonbase.
