Lokesh
Isn’t leaving them blissfully unaware part of the reason why we were messed up?Wouldn’t you have preferred some intelligent reflection about life as a child? Of course it must be appropriate to the […]

Lokesh, isn’t the problem a child faces, with the lack of stimuli, and boredom – the same problem we face as adults?
Isn’t it indicative of how hard we have found it to be still, and why we have to be taught […]

Lokesh,
Did you also ask him why he was bored? Boredom is a very real state of ignorance, a very real question for children and adults alike.Why do we get bored? What is so dissatisfying about life that we […]

It doesn’t surprise me that the word ‘control’ brings up lots of questions.
It alludes to repression and discipline, all aspects of the mind we have learned to fear, even dislike.
Yet ‘self-control’ is pretty much […] -

I certainly did mean discipline! Not disciple.Thanks

Arpana,
Thanks. What a lovely tale of the insight you gained into the mad mind! The realisation in Barnes has a beautiful ring about it, with its realisation that the mind judges and condemns, and you, or I, can […] -

But don’t you see, Lokesh…You saw through Osho’s ‘device’. This was your genius. Many of the rest of us, we are a bit slower.
I’m not being sarcastic here, Lokesh. You have to remember that we all came to Osho […]

Arpana,
Doesn’t it depend on what he, you or I might mean by control? Being abused in one way or another in the past, I saw control negatively. After all, control was another word for repression. I reacted against […] -

I love Osho’s critique. And I loved the play when I saw it years ago. Also saw a performance with Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson, which was more humorous than Beckett may have envisaged. But the play captures […]

Hi Lokesh,
Thanks for the reply and feedback. It’s a joy to read many of your thoughtful posts. I agree with almost all you say, but the pendantic in me isn’t quite satisfied!You suggest that Buddha’s life is […]

You suggest that Osho was not on par with Buddha – isn’t that a comparison?
Is it possible that if you had been around Buddha, all those centuries ago, that you would have discovered his foibles or […] -

Oh, Lokesh – even I felt a pang of sentimentality about the Ranch! I must be SO emotional!
Coincidentally, I was watching a couple of videos about the Ranch and the days of old only last night. The videos didn’t […]

Lokesh, I have to agree, very worrying indeed. Frank, to the bottom of the class!

Calm down now, Sat, you can’t debate with a madman, however much you try.
Don’t bother, it’s not worth the bother. -

Hi Frank
Yes it’s mad, isn’t it, Osho amongst the cranks! It seems even he falls amongst the lowest common denominators. Like you, I feel it’s cosmic. A cosmic joke.The great thing is that I don’t think he […]

When I was with Osho, I often loved his varying usage of metaphors and allegories, parables and jokes he used, to aid with his attempts to get me to understand his ‘teaching’. His Commentaries on all sorts of […]

Dear Frank,
I love the post. Made me giggle like hell and also made some very interesting points about his love of power. What an odd word to focus on?
Each to his own: Veresh may have truly helped some people […]

Dear Anand Adubodh,
Thanks for your response and it’s been helpful for me to read what you’ve written. It’s given me more of an understanding of NT’s, an area that I haven’t really experienced. - Load More
