It sounds like you are being dragged into ‘Advaita speak’, Satchit, it’s something to be aware of. There is a series of verbal tricks used by some fake Advaita teachers to embarrass people in Satsang, a pattern of […]

Interesting stuff about Ouspensky. I’d add that Ouspensky left Gurdjieff’s school and set up on his own, the result was his ‘System’. Whether Gurdjieff’s teachings ever successfully produced another awakened human […]

Yes, that was the famous story by PD Ouspensky in his book ‘In Search of the Miraculous’ where he was practising Gurdjieff’s self-remembering, repeating to himself: “Ouspensky is crossing the street…Ouspensky is […]

Still, it’s a sannyasin news site, so what are we going to discuss besides what Osho said? Seems totally fair to me…

But what do you do when you find out the numpties are happier and more fulfilled and more joyful? It reminds me of the time psychologists did a study and found out that very intelligent people earn something like […]

That’ll teach me to ever say, “I don’t think Osho said that”. He clearly said so many things that you might well be disproven whatever it is…

I don’t think Osho ever advised seeing the world as a projection of your mind. He said many things but I never heard him say that. I think it encouraged too much of a mind-centric view of the universe.
One thing […]

Nevertheless Swamishanti’s quote does show that Osho’s vision went much farther than just a simplistic “capitalism is good”, and I think SS is right to point out that it is not as straightforward as that.
The […]

I had a chat about this with my father, we experienced a lot of the early commune together, including Poona 1 and the Ranch, and he mentioned the unique atmosphere of brotherhood, of being with so many other […]

Yes, very good, Osho was for richness. But often he was for his own brand of communism too. I think there is a discussion to be had about sannyas and earning money, some ways of making money are difficult to unite […]

Osho wasn’t a businessman though. “Be realistic; plan for a miracle!” is the opposite of the mentality that takes you to sound financial planning for a career and a pension. And Ma Deva Uma also quit her […]

I liked Deva Uma’s sannyas story a lot though. Us “old” sannyasins don’t get to hear so many stories from the younger crowd who visited The Resort after Osho’s death, and what brings them to Osho is also […]

I don’t think you can put it entirely down to Swamishanti though. He mentions quite a few cases where sannyasin women were not treated well by the SN community, which seem to creep under the radar of moderation. […]

They are probably all taking care of aging, cantankerous sannyasin males. Snigger.
But it’s a thing, because women tend to live longer they often end up caring for their men. I saw this in my family where my […]

Well, it’s definitely true there aren’t many women on SN. It is always nice when Kavita drops by, so I am sure some more female commentators would liven up the pages.
It’s true that some of the funniest and also […]

Wonderful, and well written too! Going to shut up now, making space for the Mas.

According to Nisargadatta enough self-enquiry and enough awareness lead inexorably to ripeness. So perhaps they are linked after all.

I think it is a question of maturity… Nisargadatta wrote in ‘I Am That’ that many refusals to go looking for self knowledge were down to a lack of ripeness, a certain crudity and immaturity at some level. He also […]

From what I’ve seen, sannyasins were very varied in their mental make-up. A lot of heart people, not so many real head people in my experience. To try and guide such an eclectic mixture towards enlightenment with […]

Do you still think many sannyasins are guilty of taking a spiritual leap without clearing up their own stuff first, Lokesh? Osho was kind of instrumental in that, by telling people they were already Buddhas, or […]
