synopsis
Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
Question 1
Beloved Osho, it seems that one of the greatest hurdles that faces a human being is to be alone, to stand alone in the face of the opinions of the world, to stand alone in the face of the lies of the world, to be able to be physically alone, and, ultimately, to be alone without even our minds -- the companion of last resort.
We really know we are alone, we know we will die into aloneness, we know that every contact outside ourselves is transitory -- only you reflect the silence of the stars, the silence of infinity, the silence of eternity -- yet just below the heart there is a pain, a knot, a fear... the fear of being a little boy without friends, the fear of failure and rejection, and the pain of pretending I don't care.
Every tear I have ever shed comes from this pain: loss and the fear of isolation or separation. How do we break this blackness that surrounds the fear of aloneness and allow the bliss of aloneness that you radiate with every single breath?
Question 2
Beloved Osho, if we have always been out of the bottle, how did our minds ever get control and fool us that we were in?
