This makes sense mathematically and so on. But does it truly explain anything to you? Are you satisfied by this? Why are so few people responding to this site? Is the answer in maths? -

Being an outsider of sorts, I have no idea who is criticising SN for being in the past. Yes, there seem to be the same rather few contributors to the threads. Which is a shame – where are the newer sannyasins? Or […]

P.S:
Lokesh,
If my last post bores the pants off you, I will understand…I think it bores the pants off me. -

Lokesh,
You may be right, but I don’t know if “I learned something without there being an actual teaching”.Sorry, but I don’t know what you mean. Could you clarify what you learned in this way? This may help me […]

Thanks, Frank. I hear and understand you.
I certainly get that the menu is not the meal.
That Osho (and your poem) transmitted a truth beyond the “words” is very much my own experience.
I’ve been trying to […]

Lokesh,
You seem very certain that there is / was no essence to his teaching, as if you know something, without any question.
May I suggest that this certainty you present constricts debate and real discussion? […]

Sadly, Prem Martyn,
You make no more sense in this post than you did in the last one.Perhaps try writing simple English. This is the best way to communicate, if you wish to share and be understood by other […]

I have absolutely no idea what your post refers to, it makes no sense to me at all.But I did understand your reference to the moderators and the hard work they do. Coincidentally, I wanted to thank […]

Frank,
I seem to remember that Osho had a fair bit to say about all religions, including the Eastern ones. He didn’t have much good to say about ‘em, did he? You won’t have to look far to find him ridiculing them […] -

Lokesh,
It’s a very subjective discovery, isn’t it? What was the essence of his teaching? What he may have meant or done to you and others seems to vary with each person. This seems to me the conclusion I reach, […] -

I was partcularly moved by Shantam’s memory. That he faced such a harrowing journey with the police on the train reveals a very different perspective to my privileged initiation. And is very humbling. I had it […]

Thanks, too. I love being on the site. I’m exploring my mind, responding to great articles and learning, learning, learning.I’m just using the discussions to get clearer, expand my thinking and discover […]

Yep, Arpana and Lokesh,
I is one helluva messed-up, self-righteous parrot who ain’t got no sense of humour, who is angry and confused inside. I don’t feel anythin’ , just robotic in me thinkin’ with no smile on me […] -

Dear Frank,
Very witty!
It’s odd here on the site that some of the discussions lead to personal attack. It’s common enough, I guess, when discussion reaches a certain point, fear arises. To deal with fear, we […] -

Isn’t leaving them blissfully unaware part of the reason why we were messed up?Wouldn’t you have preferred some intelligent reflection about life as a child? Of course it must be appropriate to the […]

Lokesh, isn’t the problem a child faces, with the lack of stimuli, and boredom – the same problem we face as adults?
Isn’t it indicative of how hard we have found it to be still, and why we have to be taught […]

Lokesh,
Did you also ask him why he was bored? Boredom is a very real state of ignorance, a very real question for children and adults alike.Why do we get bored? What is so dissatisfying about life that we […]
