notes
synopsis
Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
Question 1
Beloved Osho, last night I was reading "the Book of Mirdad". It was so beautiful and so strong that I couldn't stop reading for hours. Then suddenly I felt that my breath had changed, and I found myself on the edge of crying, and I didn't know whether it was sadness, desperation, bliss, or all three at the same time.
I tried to find out by reading the words again, but I realized that my mind didn't really understand them when I looked at them. How is it possible that words which the mind doesn't understand can touch one so deeply?
Question 2 from Gunakar
Beloved Osho, unenlightened enlightenment seems to become more and more popular these days, particularly among therapists. Having recovered from that disease, I say that claiming enlightenment without having attained is the greatest betrayal; and influencing others through authority based on this falseness is the greatest crime possible.
Please comment.
Question 3
Beloved Osho, an old hermit living in the mountains said, when asked why he was up there and how long he had been there, "A long time ago there were two bulls fighting by the seashore. They fought and fought, and finally disappeared into the ocean. And from that day to this, I cannot remember a single thing."
I really love the way the old hermit evoked such a vivid image of the duality of the mind, and then its disappearance into enlightenment.
Would you please comment on this?
Question 4 from Sw Milarepa
Beloved Osho, what is the holy fire?
