- synopsis
- Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
- Question 1
- Beloved Osho, you told a story about ten years ago that I have not been able to understand:
- A seeker is lost in the mountains; he is tired and thirsty. It is night and he sees a silver bowl with crystal clear water which he drinks and then sleeps. In the morning light he sees that the bowl was in fact a dirty old skull.
- He laughed and became enlightened.
- What did he see, Osho?
- Question 2
- Beloved Osho, I remember once hearing you tell us that Buddha's definition of truth was: That which works.
- It struck me as almost audacious, and yet totally pragmatic, and for both reasons I loved it.
- My understanding is that your definition of truth is probably the same, that you will do and say anything at all, in the name of truth, that might prod us in the right direction.
- I would love to hear you speak to us on this.
- Question 3
- Beloved Osho, a question I have had since I was a kid and started seeing the ways of the world is: Why do people treat each other like they do? Where is the love, the compassion and the respect for each other? I think that everybody is longing to live in love and harmony with himself and all the human beings around. And I don't think there is any longing for hate, violence, and power over other people -- but this is what I see happening.
- What is it that makes people live this unnatural and miserable life? Is it all conditioning, or is there something in man that makes him willing to go astray?
