- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the questions: n/a; questions are being read by Osho himself.
- Question 1 from Gourishankar Bharati
- Osho, whatever you say seems to be right from the point of view of what you are saying at that moment. But it may be contradictory. You draw the listeners in one direction confirming a particular point, and at the same time you go via the back door to the opposite point. It is a spiral -- the listener hardly realizes what may be happening. Is this not fooling the listener -- unless he realizes that the real answer lies beyond your spoken words?
- Question 2 from Maya
- Sometimes when you speak, I get the vision of living a kind of Zorba the Greek life -- eat, drink and be merry -- lusty and passionate, and I think this is the way. Other times I feel you are saying that the way is to sit silently, watchful and unmoving, like a monk. So who are we to be -- Zorbas or monks -- and how can a blend of them be possible? I sense that you have managed to integrate the contradictions, but can we be both Zorbas, moved by passion and desire, and Buddhas, dispassionate, cool and calm?
- Question 3 from Seeta
- Beloved Osho,
- No oasis, no deserts,
- No mountains, no valleys,
- No summer, no winter,
- No rain, no snow,
- No yes and no!
- No Sufi, no Zen,
- No tantra, no mantra,
- No crown, no cross,
- No gain, no loss!
- All in you.
- Infinitely, eternally
- Yes and no! For ever with
- You!
- Question 4
- Why do the mystics speak a language of their own?
- Question 5 from Deva Sharan
- Why am I so nice to others and so hard with myself?
- Question 6
- What is the trade secret of the priests? How have they been able to exploit man for so long?
