- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the questions: n/a; questions are being read by Osho himself.
- Question 1
- I have glimpses of how psychological, existential pain is created by the ego. It is homemade, and it can be unmade. But what about physical pain: Why is it there? Is it a necessary part of dying? I do not feel I am afraid of death as much as I am afraid of physical pain, senility, old age.
- Question 2
- After today's lecture, I felt as if levitating and flying. I walked along the road in front of the ashram gate, approached a flowering bush, and looked at it, suddenly having the sensation of being one with nature and floating like driftwood in the river. All of a sudden I realized that the driftwood had stepped into a heap of dog shit. Do you happen to see any symbolic significance to this?
- Question 3
- Osho. Are you also the poor man's guru?
- Question 4 from Yatri
- For the record.... Osho, two days ago, for reasons clearly spiritual, you admitted to speaking only a modest five thousand words per day. From a purely scientific viewpoint, this statement would seem to contain certain inaccuracies. The actual figure -- and this any transcriber, editor or tape operator will independently verify -- is approximately three times the amount, counting both the morning discourse and the evening darshan. This means that one hundred and five thousand words are spoken each week, and a handsome total of five million five hundred thousand words are given to us in one year. In three short years a chain of such words would indeed girdle the earth. Is this a record for an enlightened voice?
- We are sure the master needs the opportunity to verify or refute such extravagant claims.
