		<description><![CDATA[The meditation is not any more connected with the branded stuff of Indian cult leaders. It has become generic. 

As one of the trustees of Osho Foundation in case democratic set-up is established during my lifetime and old hats think about my services and passion, I will surely encourage independent researchers to check the effect of Osho active meditations. 

The biological, psychological and biochemical effect won´t be less than the jogging and inner peace will be as of long stay in retreats. 

But the stuff called enlightenment or Satori is a totally different ball game. They need to be researched, including the brains of Maharishi types during lifetime or post-demise; Western and Indian both.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everything is God&#039;s will is an old idea. Today we say, &quot;it is what it is&quot;. Relaxation and acceptance might be one response, resignation and passivity could be another.

As you say, it&#039;s a great way of controlling the masses. Throw a little &#039;karma&#039; into the mix and you have a dopey sedative that helps to maintain the status quo.

Animals are instinctual. Humans evolved a sense of fairness and justice because it became beneficial for the survival of the group to work together. We look for it when we watch movies or read books. We want baddies to be punished and for good to triumph over evil. If movies were just random and there were no happy endings we wouldn&#039;t feel satisfied or bother to watch. 

So I don&#039;t know if God&#039;s a sicko. It&#039;s just that humans are (mostly) pre-selected for morality, it has evolutionary benefits, but God doesn&#039;t give a shit about any of that!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks Lokesh.
Yes, we wonder once a year what &#039;happened&#039; to Satyamitra!
It&#039;s good to know he was alive longer than we knew he was, which was in 1981. 
And yes, we do remember about the piss bottles! 
One wonders, maybe someone, somewhere, is reading this and can give us some more info.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Silly argument, Dominic. You would not get far against a good barrister. 

I am just saying I did meet Balshakar, and wondered if you had?

As I have said before, you seem to hold a sign up saying all teachers are bad, and the relationship between a teacher and a disciple is also in and of itself flawed. 

That seems a very flawed view to me. 

People can help other people along the way, and often such relationships are amongst the best that human being can have, as they are based upon a true generosity of spirit.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Business of enlightenment is becoming bit sordid. Maybe in few years, books about Abnormal Psychology will have chapter about state of Enlightenment.

While writing this, I remember my late father. Maybe I write an article about his spiritual state to understand the biochemistry. This article, a very personal chapter from my life, will also be an indication how seriously I take my intentions that courageous will be that Enlightened who challenges the scientific community to scan his brain. This will be true service to the cause of spirituality being a science for inner.

This much I know for sure: five universities in the West are doing long-term studies over the biological and psychological effect of meditation and prayers. It is already established those who go regularly to churches have less chances to be depressingly sick. But this can be said for those too who participate regularly as fans at the football matches.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Actually, this is an ancient Indian idea that led to the justification of the Caste system, everything that moves is God’s will, and it`s all God Godding, playing all the parts.&quot;

In the West too, not only in India, power was justified by God&#039;s will. Look at your coins in U.K.!

What&#039;s written there still in the year 2017?
ELIZABETH II . D. G.

What does D. G. mean? It is Latin and means:
Dei Gratia = by the grace of God.  

Funny, hm?]]></description>
