Beloved Osho,
Not long ago, in a discourse, I heard you say that you hated spaghetti. Then recently, you said you hated suntans.
Osho explains that science is not the only methodology to use to enter the mysteries of existence, rather the crudest and slowest methodology, and that a mystic can enter existence in a single moment.
Beloved Osho,
The Sufis say that a person has a purpose in life and you need to find out what your purpose is. This question keeps coming up for me now that I am not in a commune any longer.
The politician is not interested in children’s intelligence, because leaders are leaders only because people are stupid. Just think: if this country were intelligent, can you believe a man like Morarji Desai would be the Prime Minister of the country? It would be impossible. It is ridiculous! But people are so stupid; they will find
A politician was very much in love with his dog. One day he went to the market to buy some dog biscuits. He entered a shop and shouted, “Have you got biscuits for dogs?” The shopkeeper calmly replied, “Do you want to eat them here or do you want to take them home?” Politicians fight
Osho, If I can truly experience the music of the flute player, can that be on the same level as the experience you wish to occur with you? I am thinking of the Sufis: I see, but I do not see. I am behind a glass wall.
Arun writes about his first personal meeting with Osho. Published in the Kathmandu Post, Nepal, on May 7, 2016.
Q: How is it possible that the mind can go on producing thoughts constantly, and how can we stop that which we have not started?
Sanjaya, how am I to know? How can I answer this question? Nobody else can answer it for you except you. I cannot answer it on your behalf.
In my childhood I used to love swimming, and my village river becomes very dangerous in rainy season, it becomes flooded.
Beloved Osho,
Why have human beings gone through this struggle since the very beginning? Were there not already highly developed civilizations living on this earth? And yet their consciousness got lost and man had to start all over again.

More and more scientists and psychologist are researching the benefits of meditation, says Keerti in Asian Age, published on March 14, 2016.
[…] it all depends how much you trust your silence, how much you trust yourself, how much the silence is arising from your inner sources.

Beloved Master,
Upon returning to Holland last year I started communicating about you with an overwhelming sense of urgency. I felt you imparted this urgency to me, but it seemed also to be a part of my nature.
Beloved Osho, You were saying that the new will be victorious. Will it really be the new, or will it be the old polished up here and there.

“This is the reason why man is not meditative: The whole society forces him to be in a state of mind, not in a state of meditation.”
