One book really. A cross between discourse and darshan diary. (The audience was small. Same as the discourses given in Uruguay and Nepal).

The reason I mentioned this woman was that her approach to´forgiveness´ was neither unbearingly romantic nor a kind of religious priesthood kind of blackmail, and the latter is so often the case.

Sucess? Well, I don´t know.

I just came to know that such understanding is creating space for life energy, which loves to express while on the other hand, life energy is shrinking when being shut down – for example, by contempt of others or heavy ironical or even sadistic approaches.

So it’s a very practical ‘device’ and has nothing to do with a ´preacher man’ – or woman.

Btw, I could even imagine you would have liked her being her statement…few weeks ago…

Madhu

I was also reading that one recently. Gunnakar thought that he was enlightened when he went to Germany, but whenever he came back to see Osho he would lose it again. But he recognised this.

As the mighty sages of the Upanishads said: “The mind of a baboon will remain the mind of a baboon even if he starts to speak about enlightenment!”

Enlightenment exists, and for millenia the sages of mighty East have done everything neccesary to achieve it whilst white-skinned baboons like those here on Sannyasnews were simply mind-fucking, philosophising and psycho-analising each other, glorifying homosexuality, spouting liberal-lefty nonsense, allowing women out of the kitchen in depraved clothing and bringing about Kali yuga!

Parmartha speaks nonsense!
There is no question of divisiveness!
Either you are enlightened or you are not!

And those who remain egotistically attached to their egos and deny the existence of enlightenment simply remain in the mud of excrement, whilst those blessed ones such as myself, Swami Bhorat and Swami Bodhi Heeren float past completely above it all, like lotuses!

A great big giant carrot.

I never think about enlightenment any more, unless the notion is mentioned here; but in retrospect I saw enlightenment as a way of escape from how life was, a place where I couldn’t be touched any more by the vagaries of human life. and as I have come to take the vagaries of living in my stride I’m just not looking for a way out anymore.

I prefer to take the view that we are all human beings, and all are capable of mistakes, and also of putting them right.

Those who are so confident or self- ighteous in their certainty that they “know” are guilty of fanaticism, whether in religion or politics, and this is the greatest danger in human beings. In that way such people basically ‘exclude’ themselves from being human.
