- Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
- Question 1
- Beloved Osho, you can't really mean it when you say you have lost all hopes and illusions, because you know perfectly well where humanity stands today and you know how slow evolution is. I often wondered if you had not come a bit too soon: humanity was not ready to understand your liberating message, and simply misbehaved with you.
- And this was the explanation that I found within: yes, you had come too soon -- all great masters come too soon (poor Jesus' message has been understood by only a very few after nineteen centuries, so you'll have to be patient!) but the shock was necessary -- the spiritual earthquake. Yet some ego-skyscrapers are so technically perfect that they can resist probably even the destruction of the entire planet.
- Another thing I ask myself is why you are so brutal, so violent, so offensive. I can understand this behavior with disciples in the hope of fracturing their egos, but with politicians...? They just can't be anything else than offended -- but they won't learn what you want to teach them (at least not in this incarnation) and you know it, so what is the sense? Please explain. Couldn't you be just as outspoken (that is what I so love in you) yet less provoking? It would have saved you so much trouble, I'm sure, and would not have caused this ridiculous alliance of all governments against you.
- Question 2
- Beloved Osho, if the experience of God is a subjective experience, then what are priests and popes for? If the experience of God is an objective experience, then why don't they produce him?
- Question 3
- Beloved Osho, I guess I have two questions. Why do we all want to be therapists (myself included)? Is gossiping amongst your sannyasins harmful to your work, or am I too serious?
