Meaning what exactly in this context, Samarpan?

If you take on board all that science and maths as touchstones of your essential reality then I suggest you’re in a spot of bother, no matter how you try to cover it up (from yourself) by using cliched catchphrases like ‘floating’.

Osho’s Eighth Commandment: “Do not swim—float.”

Well, like Frau Dolano says, she got there through single-pointed and total meditation.

Some people get distracted by crystals, others by bullshit which was just mind-fucking, but she stuck with her zazen and left all else behind. Except her little cat.

Certainly it’s a kind of keyhole communication.

If it’s worthwhile? It’s useless as sannyas or other esoteric trips. But some like the
uselessness.

A Zen monastery is basically a ‘concentration’ camp – “Arbeit Macht Frei”- where you get whacked if they catch you slacking!

Some are lazy doing physical work, some are lazy doing mental work, and some are lazy doing inner work…some are just happy sleeping!

So many possibilities for misunderstandings in this medium, since text does not convey tone, energy or body language. I sometimes wonder if it’s worth it? At least on fakebook there’s emojis, likes and all that jazz, but still….

One can be very lazy as far as achievements in the outside world are concerned…and direct all the energy towards the inner awakening. I feel this is what Osho means when he says lazy: lazy as far as unimportant things go.

A zen monk in a zen monastery is lazy: he does zazen all day. So basically he just sits all day. Outwardly, he appears lazy, but all his energy is focused on meditation.

To me, when Osho says he is lazy, this is what he means.

“But is Satchit in fact saying that we are all just pretending to NOT be enlightened, in his perfectly (as God wills it) rude and arrogant way?”

Dom, you’ ve got it.

Old Loki missed my friendly message. Instead, he does G-work in the G-coal-mine, searching for the G-spot. What to say? Different paths.

Reminds me of the Osho story when one zen-guy said enlightenment is as difficult as climbing up the highest mountain and his wife said enlightenment is as easy as touching the own nose.

And certainly the latter looks a bit lazy from the view of the mountain climber.

Stool has many meanings…
