What exactly does Shanti believe he is doing collecting all this second-hand news about Somendra and all this was or wasn’t he enlightened? I suppose we all have our hobbies. I make books. I sometimes wonder about […]

NP writes, “Nondual teachers are more copycats than anything else, not bothering to develop their own style and just using quotes verbatim.”
What? You mean like Osho used “Life is not a problem to be solved, but […]

Simond writes, “As to the notion of satsang, this was the way of past Indian teachers and makes no sense today.”
I have to disagree. ‘Satsang’ can be translated as ‘hanging out with good people’. It doesn’t just […]

Shanti writes, “But Nisargaddata may have turned down the offer of an ashram because he only wanted disciples he felt were ready to work with.”
This is pure speculation. Nisargaddata spoke about why he did not […]

I do not believe you have proven anything, NP, other than that you are not taking in the big picture. Would it not be true to say that Osho was propagating others’ words, disseminating ideas and theories widely? […]

Shanti declares, “Papaji and Nisargaddatta really offered nothing new, they were just the standard Indian householder gurus.”
Easy to say that, but is it true?This sounds like Osho parrot speak. Osho said […]

NP, you will have to take this up with Osho.
“Nobody else is like you, nobody else has ever been like you; nobody else is ever going to be like you. You are simply unique.” Are his words, not mine.Your […]

NP writes about ‘”Teachers becoming a unique personal expression of their individuality”. It may well be the case that there is no choice in the matter. From the highest to the lowest everyone is a unique personal […]

NP writes, “For a lot of these so-called teachers it is a money-earning scheme of some sort.”
Whether a so-called teacher or an authentic teacher there may well be something to be learned from them. If a teacher […] -

A good, albeit sardonic, post from Simond. Apart from writing on SN, enlightenment is a word I rarely use in my daily life. Occasionally spontaneous satsangs happen. Sitting around with friends and we get into the […]

Yes, NP, it is all Dharma-speak and only one in a thousand or so people will understand it, and even there it is questionable how it will be interpreted. This sort of thing is best encapsulated in the ‘Overflowing […]

When Nisargadatta Maharaj was asked how to go about recognizing enlightened people he said that they probably live quiet lives. Then again he also said, “There is no such thing as enlightenment. The appreciation […]

Satchit, I know this will be difficult for you, but here is a chance for you to learn something.
In the previous thread, you made a statement about me and this was my response:
