As it’s Saturday night, here’s something to raise spirits for a bit of celebration, just sheer rock’n'roll fun from a few of the greats…

I think we were incredibly fortunate to come across him, for many reasons, both hugely positive ones and, strangely enough, including having to have any over-romantic, over-idealistic illusions about him or about […]

And that misjudgment of Sheela wasn’t a small issue, look what happened because of it.
Why expect anyone, even an enlightened person, ‘one with Life’ etc. to be any sort of reliable expert on or be automatically […]

“What happenings?”
The examples I listed, of course.
“He said enlightenment does not mean that he knows that his room is bugged.
So I guess enlightenment does also not mean that he knows that Sheela was the […]

So, in your terms, Satchit, what you call “the real self” is incapable of making a mistake, in any area of life?
How then do you explain the “happenings” (your term again) I’ve mentioned?
By saying it’s our […]

But Satchit, you don’t appear to have really considered the implications of your view of the experience of ‘an enlightened one’. I don’t think it’s necessarily always quite how you say it is.
Does an enlightened […]

Btw, I agree with ET that ‘spaciousness’ is a far better term than ‘emptiness’, which has connotations of sadness, painful loss, etc.

But – I know you’ll correct me if I’m wrong – wasn’t it you, Satchit, who agreed Osho had made at least one or two mistakes. If “emptiness” rules and is infallible, how do you explain that?
My understanding is […]

I’ve no idea from my own experience of course, Satchit, and let’s face it, direct experiential knowledge is one thing, while a belief is just a belief – “for fools”, as BL used to say.
All I can say is that I’ve […]

Garima,
I was emphasising that repetitious events, behaviour, interactions are themselves almost inevitably bound to become a ‘story’, and if seen negatively, a ‘case’, a catalogue of injustice, simply due to […] -

“As long as it is the One who paints, we don’t have to worry, do we?”
What on earth does this mean, Garima, in your own experience, not merely in theoretical terms?

“Everybody paints his/her Osho/Maitri picture.
One paints with the heart, the other with the mind.They never meet.”
The unconscious irony of this statement is that these choices can arguably be applied either […]

Yes, Garima, but if events, behaviour, interactions are repetitious, follow a pattern, it’s hardly surprising if they “become a story”, which may be used as evidence to make a case, is it?

And is Van the man a good example of spirituality? Or just another emotionally-deluded egotist, albeit one who can write great songs?

P.S:
And, Satchit, listen to the podcast! -

Osho’s heart ‘unawakened’? That’s a new one, for sure! And I’m not buying into it either.

You’re someone who likes everything perfectly cut-and-dried, Satchit, who can’t stand ambiguities, complexities, shades of grey. Life often works differently though, in case you haven’t noticed yet.
I suggest you […]

Have you read my post of 2.26pm, Satchit, which I in fact wrote quite a lot later than that time after initially just saying that I didn’t undersatand what you’d previously said (at 2.12pm)?
(By the way, your […]

No, sorry, Satchit, I don’t understand your point, or rather, I completely disagree with you.
First, equating the situations of Erin, Sheela and Osho doesn’t hold water. Each of their circumstances was unique, […]

“Has she given up the freedom to choose because of being a sannyasin?
Is the Ashram a Gulag?”
Erin was a committed disciple who took on board Osho’s dictum, ‘Nothing less than 100% surrender to the Master is […]
