notes
synopsis
Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
Question 1 from Sudha
Beloved Osho, can you say something about recognition? Why do we take you for granted? Why will we, your disciples, not recognize you until your crucifixion? When you said that, it was like a sword through me.
Question 2
Beloved Osho, Meher Baba speaks about two different kinds of enlightened masters. One he calls "man becoming God," the other he calls "God becoming man." Gautam Buddha belongs to the first -- slowly, through many lives, he has flowered into the state of buddhahood. Meher Baba asserts that he belongs to the second, "God becoming man." I have not really understood what he means. Can you say something about this?
Question 3
Beloved Osho, I'm constantly amazed at how you use your mind like a computer -- such pure and simple genius, in fact, super-genius. Lao Tzu said he was a muddlehead, yet the clarity of genius is there also. Beloved Osho, when a person becomes enlightened, is the mind so free of ego that only genius is left? Or are some people actually enlightened muddleheads?
Question 4
Beloved Osho, the other night, I was very touched by the singing of the Indian swami who sings before discourse. I felt as if he were playing me like a musical instrument. I felt like a big ear, just listening. Most other music I hear basically amounts to noise -- it's entertaining, but it doesn't touch me. What is it about his music and the music of all those musicians who touch something inside us, that helps us to fly?
Question 5 from Sarjano
Beloved Osho, what is your definition of perversion in regard to sex?
