- Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
- Question 1
- Beloved Osho, for the last week I have known that I have cancer. From that time, except for a few moments of panic and fear, I have felt a deep calmness and relaxation coming into my being.
- Have I already given up my life, or is this the quietness of acceptance?
- Question 2 from Laheru
- Beloved Osho, yesterday when I was coming from my office for your discourse, I was feeling very much depressed, tired and tense; but after the discourse I felt myself so relaxed, energetic and fresh.
- The next morning I am again depressed and tense. Is it because of my mind or the surrounding atmosphere?
- Question 3 from Gayan
- Beloved Osho, I read the following story in the book, "Diary of a Zen nun". It goes like this:
- A master and his disciple were attending a funeral. The disciple pointed to the corpse, and asked, "Is that dead or alive?"
- The master answered, "I cannot say."
- The disciple threatened to strike the master, who said, "You can hit me all you like, but I cannot say whether that is dead or alive."
- So the disciple struck him.
- That evening the master told the others what had happened, and announced that the disciple would have to leave because he had struck the master. So the disciple went off to another master and told his tale, hoping to hear that the first master was a cruel monster and off his nut. Instead of which, the second master exclaimed, "What a compassionate master you had there!" -- whereupon the disciple began to see what it was all about.
- Osho, would you please comment on this story?
