synopsis
Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
Question 1
Beloved Osho, when you speak so beautifully of enlightenment, awakening and dreaming, for me the dreaming is so real that even imagining awakening seems impossible. I wonder at your beauty, your grace, your love, your understanding, but to be in your presence seems a situation so unlikely for me that it must be either a dream or some bizarre accident.
Life has been such that whatever I ask for has been given. Through you, gifts have been showered in so many ways that the fairy tale just goes on and on. As life lazily passes by I go from one bit of fun to another. This way seems so easy and pleasant the desire for enlightenment seems far away. Please comment.
Question 2
Beloved Osho, I used to listen to you without understanding and feel perfectly blissful -- and I've heard you say that this is right listening. Lately I've had an intense desire to understand what you say. At first I was sad; it seemed I had taken a wrong turn. But it feels good: my head tingles and feels intensely alive. Is there anything I can do other than enjoy it?
Question 3
Beloved Osho, I loved it when once you said, "When I started I was in a majority of one."
Does truth always prevail?
Question 4
Beloved Osho, it is said that when penguins, standing on an iceberg, want to go for a swim, they start peering anxiously down into the water below to see if it is safe from sea lions. Slowly, slowly so many penguins join the peering group that space becomes tight, and eventually by chance one is nudged into the water below. All the penguins then stare down at the water, and if the first penguin doesn't resurface, they all shuffle away, no longer interested in swimming. Only if that penguin safely reappears do they all happily jump in.
Osho, are we a bit like that?
