- synopsis
- Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
- Question 1
- Beloved Osho, recently I developed epileptic fits -- apparently due to a tiny cyst in my brain -- which the specialists don't understand. But for me it feels like something amazing is happening. The first fit, in June, came totally as a surprise, and felt like a big hit on the head: wake up! Since leaving the commune I have been living unaware. Afterwards I changed; wanted to be alone, silent, to meditate and to listen to you. Gradually I'm more with friends again, feeling more mature, more centered. Then, while feeling physically very well and clear in myself, another fit happened a few days ago. Already I feel something different again, a greater intensity -- sometimes very afraid, sometimes so ecstatic I feel I could explode! Generally I am more playful. For the first time I feel beautiful, safer, more loving. Life is very beautiful and joyful. I enjoy the prelude to the fits; my 'learned' knowledge disappears and I'm left with a sense of me -- very easy, no effort. But fear comes too: I'm afraid of what might happen, and during the fits I sense a huge "no" in me. I feel that if I could say yes instead, it would somehow be better. Beloved, beautiful Osho, please could you comment?
- Question 2
- Beloved Osho, my daughter, Ma Shanti Mara, who is seven years old, asked me to translate her question to you because she does not speak English. Her question is: "Warum gibt es gott?" -- why is God? She is now at school and confronted with "religion," and more and more the question was forming in her heart and head. Now she is beginning to realize that at home, sannyas is happening, and outside, something else. Would you please comment?
- Question 3 from Sw Suraj Prakash
- Beloved Osho, in Rajneeshpuram I used to worship for long hours every day. This would still the state of mind in general; and the peaks of meditation I experienced continuously were great. That kind of thing does not seem to be happening here in Bombay, even after so much relaxation and not much work to do. Please explain whether this is due to the surroundings and situations here, or for some other reasons.
- Question 4
- Beloved Osho, I have heard that some people claim to be doing the same work that you do. Is it not true that while others are trying to alter the major disturbances in people's programs, your only reason for living is to ensure the elimination of the programs altogether? In any case, could one program eliminate another, even if it wanted to? Are they not left behind on the shores of Western maintenance-man psychology? -- tepid reformers, not revolutionaries?
