I feel it pays one to choose gurus carefully. Much as I like my old dad, he is not really guru material. I’m pretty sure he’d agree, too. He found it difficult enough being a school teacher.

That’s a terrifying thought that my father might be enlightened. He has been a sannyasin for a long time, but he still watches ‘Ancient Aliens’ on tv.

@Satchit,
I was more asking for a personal account rather than some second-hand abstract philosophising that can be found and parroted from any newage book. -

@Satchit,
Could you describe a moment when you felt the master`s love for you? -

@Satchit,
Actually, the details of the tenets are not really relevant to the point I`m making, which is essentially that the purported unconditional love in the spiritual group, particularly that of the guru, is […] -

@satchit, who wrote “the good auld days…”
Very nice to see Osho with a dark beard, it looks like footage from a meditation camp perhaps? Shame the speech is all dubbed in Italian, but still a good find!

How would you expect this communication with an inner guru to happen? It might be a bit much to expect fully-formed visions to appear in your mind’s eye….

I am still, albeit much more subtle than at one time, about relationships.
I am a long way from full transcendence of relationship.

To connect to Osho is to move away from a life of imitation, although I guess imitation goes on at the start, which is sannyas conditioning, into a trial and error life, a life […]

That`s a very jaded and nihilistic viewpoint. You miss the fun, the laughs and the swapping info. Pity. Your loss. -

@Satchit, you say:
“I am not a Zen master.”
Don`t be so modest.
You can`t fool me. You are clearly lingering a little while longer on the shores of SN out of compassion for the fools. -

That’s one way of looking at it. The thing is, the Buddhists aren’t really interested in learning from Osho. Their tradition is fairly set in its ways.
Osho’s Sannyas, on the other hand, is new and […]
