At this link, a little in English of what Osho said about the milk monastery!

SS, don`t forget the West has other animal-based achievements too…

And on top of that, we have even got baboons that can talk about enlightenment!

SS confesses, “I like the way Indians know how to talk to cows, something that westerners seem to have lost.”

Yes indeed, a symbol that encapsulates perfectly the tragic decline of western civilization. But hold on…all is not lost. In the West we have horse whisperers. Not as good as having a chat with a cow, because you have to whisper, but there remains hope for us yet.

This is a nice, thought-provoking piece from Lokesh.

“It seemed to me a very surrendered “worship”: the very early hour, and the responsibility of it, as the milk was going directly to the Master.”

A reflection of the time described, when it was all about surrender. Meanwhile, millions of people go about such a daily business and the word ‘surrender’ will never enter their minds, because it is their work to perform such tasks. For all the surrendering that went on around Osho I question the value of such a practice today.

Having kids, for the most part, was frowned upon in Osho’s communes. Yet bringing up children is perhaps one of the greatest opportunities to experience acts of surrender in human experience.

As for Sheela and her gang poisoning cows, it just goes to show how nuts those people were. Yet sannyasins surrendered to her authoritarian regime.

The short article concludes with the following:
“When I read the memoir, ‘The Day We Got Guns’, by Swami Prem Rajesh, and the following lines below, I found myself wondering again about Osho and milk.”

“Wondering again about Osho and milk!”
Makes me wonder what on earth someone is doing wondering about such bullshit.
