Hello Madhu,

I did not twist your words, I only gave them my best guess at their meaning.

Hello Tan,

It was always interesting in darshan to see how people reacted when they first met Osho.

Arps,

I have read your post very carefully (several times), and I am not quite sure what point you are trying to make.

Let me give you some real numbers so that you do not have to work from assumptions.

I first met Osho when I was 18 in 1975, and the events I speak of happened in 1979. Which when you crunch the figures makes me 22 at the time. So I was one of those young foolish “twenty-somethings” you are now asking me to forgive. That makes no sense.

I like your description, Tan. That you discovered a quietness in Osho, that was then reflected in you.

With that came your satori moment, of seing how stupid you were. A lovely moment

How stupid we all are, eh? And as you say, very sweetly, how you understood yourself a little more. Lovely stuff.

Hi Anand Anubodh,
I didn´t say that nor mean what you twisted around like: ´“Why are you being so judgemental about sannyasins if you are into Aikido. You should be all ‘Yin Yangy’.”´

And please don´t try (again) any machine ´google-translator´.

Better to be at ease for both of us, I suggest – sometimes the meaning of words take their time to find a space of understanding.
Or not.
Who knows?

Madhu

Tan.
I couldn’t stand up. Had to be lifted to my feet and dragged out by two guys.

Anubodh,
What I experienced when I met Osho was a ‘quietness’ that I can’t describe. And with this ‘quietness’ I could see myself and all the heavy bullshit I was carrying. And I laughed and laughed, but I only could see a smile on my face. And my first thought when the experience had gone was “how stupid I am”, and I laughed more!

Just that, but was enough to understand a bit more of myself.

Cheers!

I assume swami anand anubodh you are in your sixties, possibly older. Cant you, a man in your sixties, forgive those foolish young people their foolishness? (Most of them would have been in their twenties). Nobody is born fully mature. Growing up is an ongoing process.

P.S:
I’ve known many a twenty-something grow up over the years.
