notes
synopsis
Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
Question 1 from Prem Agama
Beloved Osho, there arises great darkness in me and I wish to trade in this intolerable Agama and start afresh so that somehow I wouldn't grow with my personality so inseparably glued to myself. I remember there was once innocence and I had a sense of myself. Try as I might, I can't recover it, can't separate off the witness, can't trust in my seeing. So long ago I took a shortcut and now I can't remember where I left the honesty and the innocence and the love, for the false, the trying, the stupid. How can I find my way back?
Question 2
Beloved Osho, I believe it was Sartre who coined the term "existential nausea" to describe severe alienation. I like to think that what I am feeling is morning sickness -- in anticipation of the birth of my self-realized being. It seems ironic to me that, although I have experienced exquisite mystical insights, I still fall into pits of depression and alienation where words and actions seem only to emphasize a futility in human endeavors. Worse still is a deep shame that I am full of doubts when so many lovely flowers have been presented to me from the hands of existence. Words really don't compensate for the alien gap, but just hearing the tenderness of your voice soothes the blown-out craters on the dark side of my moon. Would you speak on alienation?
Question 3 from Ramaprem
Beloved Osho, why is it that my valleys are deeper than my mountains are high?
