- Reader of the questions: Sw Anand Vimal.
- Question 1 from Dhyan Amiyo
- Beloved Osho, as a child, one of my favorite games was to imagine I was going to die in the next minute. I enjoyed feeling the tension build up until it reached a peak and then slipped into relaxation, and I felt as if I was bubbling with happiness. Later, when I was a teenager, for a period of six months, I would frequently be awoken by a feeling of panic and fear, a sense of impending death. I would struggle to prevent my dying by hanging on to the thought of somebody or something I wanted to live for. Then the panic would subside and the fear would gradually go. The last time this happened to me as a teenager, I woke feeling the fear of death the strongest I ever had. But this time, instead of panicking, without any conscious decision, I found myself accepting death, and relaxing. Immediately, there was an explosion of light and a sense of being uplifted by bliss. It was not until some years later, when I took sannyas and one day was meditating alone, that the fear of death returned. I was overwhelmed by the intensity of it, and could do nothing to transform it or even repress it: I jumped up in a panic and tried to shake it off. Why has this fear been a constant companion throughout my life, and what is its significance for me?
- Question 2 from Shantam Shivano
- Beloved Osho, there is immense trust inside me that being with you everything happens so right that there is nothing more to do but let it happen. So I'm not forcing anything and more and more there is only this sweet, painful love for you and more silence and more laughter and more love. Yet sometimes when you speak about "doing everything for enlightenment," a doubt arises in me that maybe I'm cheating myself: Am I not doing enough?
