- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the questions: n/a; questions are being read by Osho himself.
- Question 1 from Somendra
- Last night, in a dream, I found myself on a girder high in the air moving towards some door of safety. Then my clothes began to get caught on splinters of iron, and next the girder began to split. I told myself to keep calm, not to look down, to forget the danger and just do one thing at a time. This I was managing and yet not managing. Then I heard myself say to myself, "Well, you could always wake up." So I did.
- Could one wake up out of the nightmare of the mind just like that?
- Question 2
- How do you know Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Zarathustra and Lao Tzu?
- Question 3 from Arup
- I don't feel courageous, just very very lucky -- that somehow against all odds and in spite of my stupidity, I am here. And that after three and a half years you have still not kicked me out. And that I don't get the urge to leave.
- It seems to me that it would take much more courage to go back into the world and live without you and without all that you have brought me.
- Every day I feel transported into your bliss, at least for moments, and the people around me are a joy to behold. How can you say it takes courage? Or am I not with you?
- Question 4 from Barkha
- My parents keep on saying they want me to lead a 'useful' life and do something 'useful for society'. Am I? Are sannyasins?
- Question 5 from Sarjano
- I have begun to feel that there is another way to miss the point: rather than being too serious (which I carefully avoid) I have become too silly. I decided that I am too intelligent to take life seriously, so I moved to the opposite side of the pendulum.
- I had been feeling quite comfortable and different in that space, but now I'm feeling very very confused. The only thing I can see is that I am still missing the point.
- Please help me.
- Question 6
- What is awareness?
- Question 7 from Madhuri
- Please help me to understand what is happening in this relationship. I am so attached and so resisting, so ecstatic and so wretched and hidden. I see no way beyond the contradictions. Your guidances to me remain a seemingly impossible mystery. Osho, what is it, a depth I'm not falling in?
- P.S. Is a relationship a sort of koan?
- Question 8
- Is psychology of any use, or not?
- Question 9
- What is your message in short?
