Good morning, dear friends,

How are you today? I have started following some writing courses on BBC Maestro, and so far I have been quite impressed with the quality. The tagline of this service is ‘Learn from […]

NP, you are searching for faults inside Osho, better searching for faults inside you.

Some things are just wrong, Satchit. You can take ‘not judging’ too far.

I saw the wine writer’s call on Facebook as well, some people who were there got in touch with him. I hope a good article comes out of it.

Still playing the policeman here, NP, telling us what’s right and what’s wrong?

“I am that”.
What does it mean?
It means: “I am consciousness.”

Certainly it does not mean I am the judging mind.

Note from Ed:

Wine, anyone?

SN has received this request today from Michael Alberty, a writer on wine from Portland, Oregon. It belongs to the article, ‘The View From The Street: The Ordinary Sannyasin At […]

Greetings. I am a wine writer based in Portland, Oregon. I’m working on a story about the vineyard that Rashid alludes to in his post. I’ve had wonderful conversations with Rashid, Chintan and Subhan so far. If […]

The thing about this quote is it is Osho bigging up the mysterious master’s work. If he had that much knowledge and control, why did he not stop the abusive sannyasins from having sex with young teen girls on the Ranch?

It seems you are still concerned with What to be, Satchit. You have missed the point of the quote, to go back to the state of pure being, before ‘this I am’ or ‘that I am’.

OSHO,
THE OTHER DAY I CAME THROUGH THE GATES WITH AN INDIAN SANNYASIN AND HE WAS TURNED AWAY BY THE GUARD WITH NO REASON GIVEN. WHEN I SPOKE TO LAXMI ABOUT IT, SHE MORE OR LESS TOLD ME TO MIND MY OWN BUSINESS. […]

It is the goal in all spiritual directions to become a child again. Jesus said already: “Only children can enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”

To become a child again, one has to transcend the mind.
And one should not […]

Good morning, my friends,

Today I wanted to leave you a quote from Nisargadatta, which I liked very much:

I am now 74 years old. And yet I feel that I am an infant. I feel clearly that in spite of all the […]

“What is real, is as it always is. All that is needed is to cease to identify with what is unreal.”
— Ramana Maharshi

I was reading in a Ramana Maharshi illustrated book, full of photographs and quotes of the […]

“Self-propaganda”? Such a dirty word.
He had no self, how can he make self-propaganda?

Surrender happens when you follow your inner guide.
The outer guru creates only a situation.

Without the sleep, there is no awakening.

But NP, you must have somehow lost the trace.

The spiritual trip is not about enjoying the sleep, it is about awakening.

“Surrender means you have died already. If you have surrendered to me, then there is no problem. Then, more work or less work – it has nothing to do with you. It is irrelevant. Then I have to look after it, I have […]

Good morning!

It occurs to me that for a surrendering of the mind one has to believe that an enlightened master knows best. If you drop the idea of an enlightened master, then what remains of surrender?

It […]

‘Soul’ is another word for deeper self, witnessing self.
