This is an illusion.
In the world of duality, if you choose happiness, you get also unhappiness.

“The whole spiritual search seems to be collapsing under its own weight”

Good. Sounds almost enlightened. lol

“The Tao that can be told is not the Tao.”

Right. Truth cannot be understood by the mind.
But it can be sensed in the body with its easiness and cessation of thoughts.

We all know that you are a nice guy, NP.

But did you not want to find a deeper truth inside you?

“shoot from the hip”
Yeah, this is part of the game.
Friends provoke each other.

Nobody becomes enlightened by being nice. Breathing in, breathing out.

NP, this is not letting go. This is suppression.
Nothing wrong with things like news or TV, it’s just a question of balance.

If things become “lean and devoid”, it’s a sign that one is on the wrong path. Life […]

It is not a question of going into a direction but of the recognition that you are already the one you are searching
for.

Then it may happen that silence speaks. Or not.

I am also a friend of the unexpected.

Here comes:

Sadhguru on Osho

The whole system called life is flawed.

Either there is frustration because one does not get what one wants. Or one is frustrated because one gets it and
cannot hold it.

This is the problem with these quotes.

They belong to a certain time and moment. They are not true for all and always.

Yeah, there exists no image of Jesus.
Selfies had not been invented at that time.

I guess this quote is from before the breakdown of the Ranch.
After the breakdown, he blamed it on the women and their jealousy […]

Na na, spiritual zombies?

Now you drop your peaceful mask and show your real face, NP.
Kindness gone?
Did not go very deep.

“My experience is that as we get older we move from innocence and cheerfulness and non-seriousness to dourness and seriousness.”

You are confused, NP.
There is no “we”.
It depends on the individual.

It is not a […]

NP delivers the claim that “My experience is that we are born joyful.”

Maybe the experience in the womb was joyful, but certainly not the birth.

The birth is painful, for the child and for the mother; there ia a […]

Yes, basically you have to put your ego on the cross.

And by going through suffering, you can transcend suffering.

I guess Osho is also more widely followed in India than anywhere else.

I think with this ‘rescue’ Osho, Sri Sri is just playing jokes on him. This one can more easily do if the person is dead and cannot react.

Gurudev Sri Sri Shankar has 9.44m. followers on the internet. OSHO has 1.52m. followers.

Who is the greater Guru?

Anyway, I still remember his words: “Every Master is a great liar.”

NP wrote:

“Kindness is the start of that road, and in some ways it is more pure than love.”

It depends what kind of kindness you mean.

Kindness can also be used to get something from the other, attention for […]

I hope this is not your story, NP.

My intution says that you have a bit the desire for perfection.

“Your ego is the only problem.” Yet Osho, who claimed to be beyond ego, had a problem with smelly disciples. A problem is a problem, is a problem.”

This is just your opinion.

I have a different […]
