When I am reading your words, listening to your lecture tapes, and now when I am here, I’m thoroughly absorbed with it all.
Q: You made me realise I was a coward and I accepted it and was happy. Now I am getting a feeling that I am becoming brave, and I am scared.
Beloved Master, some scientists are concerned that man will some day relinquish his intellectual supremacy to computers – monster artificial super-brains with an intellectual power far beyond anything we can now comprehend.
Nothing has happened And nothing will happen. What is there, is there. This is a tremendously significant sutra. All the scriptures can be condensed in such a sutra. If you can understand only these three lines, there is no need to understand anything else. Look at your life from your childhood up to now. What
Osho, I feel very worried seeing your state of health. You have been pouring out your soul as you reach out to the world, but instead of changing, people wanted to destroy you. Why do you still make such an effort?
“According to Lao Tzu, good and evil is like night and day, and since god has made man independent, he can do good or evil as he chooses. But why is it that nature does evil? The floods come and innocent people get drowned, or a fire rages and people are burnt to death. There are so many natural catastrophes.”
The second question – it is from Hareesh:
A white and small aura is visible just over your head. Why is not a coloured one visible?
Wilhelm Reich says in his book, ‘Listen, Little Man’, that he found that man reaches out with his life energy when he feels well and loving; that he retracts that energy when he is afraid.
Q: A visitor here observed that there is an agelessness in the people around you. What is the explanation for this?
Osho,
What is this dream of yours which you have been working so hard to realize for the past twenty–five, thirty years, ignoring all kinds of hindrances and obstacles?
If the whole history of the world were condensed into one year, with us standing at the end of that vast year, it would look something like this:
“Many individuals who take birth and attain higher consciousness on this earth, have to seek birth on other planets,” states Osho.
Osho states, “Just as a tree leaves seeds behind before dying, similarly the body too leaves behind seeds before it meets death.”
Beloved Osho, A few months ago my friend and I were visiting his dying father. Lots of people were around. His body was about finished.
Q: You have defined yourself as the rich man’s guru. Don’t the other people interest you? Are the rich particularly in need of a guru? Or are you their guru because they have money?
What do you call freedom? – mostly the political, the economic, the outside freedom, which is not in your hands, which has been given to you.
“A man of awareness does not need anybody else to tell him what to do, what not to do,” states Osho.
Q: I have heard that you sometimes make up questions to fit your jokes. Is this so? Please be truthful!
I have been observing that whenever press people come to the ashram they are always looking for something negative – sex, money, etcetera, etcetera. Can’t they see what is happening here?
Osho speaks about David Yallop’s book, which uncovered Vatican conspiracies and the mystery surrounding Pope John Paul’s sudden death.
Answering a question by Vachana, Osho speaks on understanding purposelessness and never having been out of the home
The question is from Gayatri. It is not only you, Gayatri, who is continuously daydreaming; everybody is doing that. Human mind as such is a daydreaming faculty. Unless you go beyond the mind, you will continue to daydream. Because the mind cannot exist in the present. It can either exist in the past or in
Osho, I am a staunch Catholic. Nobody can shake my beliefs, but why do I feel a little frightened here?
Beloved Osho,
You have mentioned in the past that the witches burned by the Christians knew, among other skills, how to hypnotize. It seems that in ancient Egypt too, hypnosis was practiced. It has even been suggested that Jesus was a skilled hypnotist. Was hypnosis once a respected form of healing? How did it evolve, and how did it fall into disrepute?
Another thing: the quality of the mind has basically changed. In Patanjali’s days, the center of the human personality was not the brain; it was the heart. And before that, it was not even the heart. It was still lower, near the navel. Hatha yoga developed methods which were useful, meaningful, to the person whose
There was a little polar bear who asked his mother, ” Was my daddy also a polar bear?” “Of course your daddy was a polar bear.” “But,” goes on the little one after a while, “Mommy, just tell me, was my grandfather also a polar bear?” “Yes, he was also a polar bear.” Time goes
“Rape is one of the problems which is not so easy to decide and judge; there are so many complexities,” says Osho.
Beloved Osho, My whole being bows to your feet, but it is very difficult for me to take my eyes from your beautiful, radiant being, when you greet us coming and going in the morning. Am I missing by peeking? Is this attachment to your physical presence and form something that has to be transcended?
This is the third of three excerpts from a discourse by Osho about right diet, right labor and right sleep:
Q: Please will you explain to me what “the way of religion” means? I have always been so strongly against religion that I cannot imagine what it means. But, anyhow, I suppose it is the way of total aloneness. And this makes me a little uneasy. Since you gave me sannyas, I feel like I
Continuation from A Tremendous Poona Fiction Story The questioner has asked: “What do you mean by ‘the way of religion’? I have always been so strongly against religion that I cannot imagine what it means.” True. If you are against religion, how can you understand it? If you are FOR religion, then too you cannot understand
Q: If I could ask you a question about your past: you spent a year – when you were a student in India – mad; in which you couldn’t formulate a sentence, and you lost your perspective. Is that the time that you were looking for that door?
In this discourse, Osho speaks also about the meaning of the ’tilak’ or ‘tika’, Edgar Cayce, and that atomic energy was known and used already by the ancients.
Q: What exactly do you do in the bathroom for three hours a day? Or should we not discuss that on videotape?
This is the second of three excerpts from a discourse by Osho about right diet, right labor and right sleep:
This is the first of three excerpts from a discourse by Osho about right diet, right labor and right sleep.
Q: Is the earth hollow? Is there an advanced civilization living there? Is there a sun at the center? Do these beings make periodic journeys through tunnels to specific places and tell the secrets? Is that where UFO’s come from?
Q: I’ve always been fascinated by the state of bardo as described in ancient Tibetan scriptures. Could you say something about this?
My political system is totally different. I call it meritocracy, because it will depend on merit. It will not be a political system, it will not have any political parties. People will be running for posts on their own merit. And each individual will decide on his own, because no political party will be pressurizing
