I would love to hear if you have anything to say about the article, @simond.

@Simond,
Yes, in any walk of life, more clearly formulated questions tend to get clearer answers.Non-dualists like a good waffle, though.
Did you know, for example, that your problems are simply appearances of […] -

Thank you @simond…
When you start looking seriously at what you are searching for, the idea of peace, stillness and bliss seems to make quite a bit of sense, and I’ve read a fair few pieces where Osho seems to […]

Re. my post to SD., I was being sarcastic.
I agree with you up to a point about ego. Seems to me a huge part of the problem with ego is non-acceptance, and so it becomes entangled with conscience.
I […]

A very sensitive and constructive post @simond. Humane and considered.
I would go a little further and say it is not a reflection that we are seeking, but more a portrait by the hand of a master painter, that […]

Coming back to this a few days later, it strikes me that your post raises a number of interesting questions. How do we best help our fellow-travellers on a site like SN?

You’ve psychoanalysed me and found me wanting. The same with Satchit; and obviously you’ve psychoanalysed Lokesh and found him not wanting.
I don’t agree with your diagnosis about any of us.

The sutras of the Buddha contain many instances of the enlightenment of a disciple, and sometimes tens or hundreds at a time. He is the only teacher that I know of whom you might say that he had many […]

You don’t understand Satchit because he is insightful and you are a scholar, and have no insight.
Two different languages.
Experience versus intellect.
That’s why Lokesh doesn’t understand Satchit, […]

I’m always inclined to give people the benefit of the doubt. Yes, gurus are supposed to be more highly developed, but any guru is still going to be interacting with the world through his mind, and minds […]

Ultimately these books are just reminders of our own memories, a point of comparison which helps bring our own lives into focus and perhaps bring a new glimpse of Osho back to the present.
I think it’s a […]
