The game you refer to is IDIOTIC in the human realms!

Master knew about the West only through the books and the chutzpah of his foreign followers!

The Heart has its own intelligence. Far beyond any fanaticism.
The Beauty of a coming together in sharing instead of fighting to be (the) top dog, so to say.

After having been reminded these last days (again) of the black humoured comedy “Wag the DOG” ( a Hollywood entertainemt blockbuster of 1997) , reminded by the stance ( here) when ´esoterics go politics´ and what can come out of such a wave…

I was happy ro dicover Sw Keerti´s article : ” The vicious circle of worries ” , whereto he ( Keerti) offered Asian Age Publications the following Osho quote from times and rimes ago :

“Watch a dog, its a beautiful phenomenon. In winter, in India, you can watch anywhere dogs, sitting in the morning, sunning themselves, enjoying. Then they suddenly become aware of their tail, just by their side.
Such temptation, they jump. Then the tail jups farther back.
Of course tht is too much for a dog to tolerate, this is impossible. It hurts – this ordinary tail, and playing games, with such a great dog. He goes mad, round and round , he goes.
You will see him panting, tired, and he cannot believe , what is happening.
He cannot catch his tail….
And don´t listen to some Dale Carnegie´s (= don´t worry …. be happy…). As that is the only method (provided by such): ´chase your own tail and go mad.”

Keerti´s chosen quote published an Asian Age, (September 4, 2019) and a bit later published in Osho News , comes from Osho´s : Yoga – the alpha and the omega, Vol 6, Ch 2, Q 6.

And is a premium ´offer for me too working also for the other ´worry, that came up in me, when I heard that the nowayears-nowaday´sday “Golden Lion” in the Venice Festival went to a very black horror movie, called – ” JOKER” – and the plot is telling a story of a really mad man,
sick and sickening , casted ( in the story telling of the plot) to play a CLOWN in the ´streets of a devasted totally deteriorated society.

And this take of US/2019 ( other than ” Wag the Dog” /1997) hasn´t left anything encouraging left overs like – ´growing conciousness´ will have by chance a ´savior´ button ( at least) , to ´escape atrocities .
The utterly devastating madman mutated with his clown´s face into a serial killer, while his surrounding society went into ´oblivion´: lost any capacity to realize what´s what …. in the reams of inter-human realtings.

So – there is indeed enough of the stuff stuff, that cannot be called ´funny´, I´d say.
And -
Good, to not loose one´s marbles , while surfing , what we call ocean of conciousness, I´d say !
