notes

synopsis: Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.

Question 1

Beloved Osho, one of the great ironies of our recent experiences of so-called Christian countries is seen in relation to the idea contained in the story of Joseph, and Mary, who is about to give birth to Jesus, finding "no room at the inn."

This story is used as a base for the fundamental Christian tenet of "charity," and to "love thy neighbor."

As Christian country after Christian country slams its door in the face of one who is pregnant with the new man, are we perhaps seeing, in our journey, the final death knell of Christianity's claim to be any more than a cheap, political ideology of control?

Question 2

Beloved Osho, if the idea of enlightenment is the last joke the mind plays on itself, who has the last laugh?
