Lokesh, just a question:
Is the Ozen & friends story more sannyas-like for you? At least they live today, or not? And it was good entertainment for you.

I can understand that P. finished the string.
For half, […]

“His reading should have shown him that America was actually a gun-toting, redneck country with no tradition of civilisation”.

One can have different opinions about the why to America. My opinion is it was to […]

“Through IT words lost their provocative value. Words are just data!”

If words have lost their provocative value then it should not affect you when I call you an idiot, should it?

At 1962 his Life Awakening Movement was supported by the Jains and
I think they wanted him to be some new star on the Jain sky. But what he liked more was ‘provoking’. This shows also this small incident. […]

“He had said it thinking that a religious man would say no to going into a bistro, where an almost naked woman was doing a striptease dance.”

Is this still up-to-date in India, that you get an ice-cream, striptease included?

“Most of the sannyasins around the world seem to have little interest in whatever is going on.”

Right, because they are not interested in churchly matters.

“Benefits are that real community is revived. I am 101% sure most of the sannyasins don´t need new gurus but living connection with living Osho Community.

This is one reason majority of those who go to this or […]

“But yes, I have also the will to revive creation of Osho in its modified format.”

Yes. “A man has to do what he has to do!”
Who said those famous words?
Was it Sisyphus with the rock uphill or was it Jesus […]

Shantam Prem,
Looks you are too serious about being ‘a sannyasin’.
Hello, ego!

Yes, those were the good times – orange and mala.
One knew immediately whom to hug and whom not to hug. LOL

One can always say something “comforts the human mind”.
Enlightenment is comforting the human mind.
It does not exist.

“This is why true sages do not make a business out of consciousness. Because it is a fraud, an illusion, maya. Osho made a business out of the growth business and now some of his disciples follow in his […]

“Satchit,
Yes, it gives meaning, but importantly, the experiencer gives it meaning,too.
Like poetry, as you mention, there needs to be a reader/audience who is an appreciator of poetry.

The idea that it is […]

“None of this `explains` anything.”

No, synchronicity does not explain anything. But it gives meaning. It is like poetry and gives meaning. Existence says ‘hello’ to you and shows you that you are not alone on this planet.

I wear the mala on carnival.

“For whatever reason, the paradigm of “Master/disciple” was mainly fully encouraged, and was mistaken.”

As far as I remember, he called the Master/disciple paradigm a passage, is it not? It is not the […]

“Wow, bullseye! You guys don’t seem to learn, whether wiping out other cultures or your own. I like Germans anyway. Seems you’ve swallowed the ‘schwachsinn’.”

No, I don’t swallow your “schwachsinn”.
What nations […]

Ja, ja, Dominic, you think you know the Germans very well?

I know your argumentation. Nobody leaves the frontiers here open long-term. It was just a special situation at that time at the railway station in […]

“Merkel’s background in East Germany is agitprop Marxist-Leninism. Merkel is also Sheela in a wig!”

That’s bullshit.
Merkel, as daughter of a Protestant pastor, did let the refugees into the country because of […]

“Osho says, “I had chosen Sheela to be my secretary to give you a little taste of what fascism means.” ”

This is just rationalisation. One can always give things a meaning when they have passed.

I have heard […]

“Shantam, in Poona 1 I was an individual therapist. I had done so many groups I was, quite naturally, curious to play the therapist role. I eventually made it. It was not easy, but fortunately I had some friends […]
