- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the questions: n/a; questions are being read by Osho himself.
- Question 1 from Anurag
- How does the internal world of experience relate to external reality?
- Question 2
- I have fallen in love with a friend's wife who is in love with my wife -- is it not strange?
- Question 3 from Ananda Prem
- Jewish religion, like Zen, is based only on the formless and doesn't permit the worship of forms. But ever since rye been in India these last eight years, I've moved away from this idea and have fallen in deep love not only with your form, but also with Hindu religion, its multitude of mythological figures and the stories around them -- Ram, Krishna, Shiva, etc. I love keeping my room decorated with pictures of your form and of all these as well, and immersing myself in the feeling of being surrounded by an Indian mythological world of gods and goddesses, though intellectually I know the illusion of it.
- I also love form by way of the Indian trees, skies and nature, as well as the Indian people -- in general and in particular -- and I seem to come alive here in India in a great heart-throbbing dance of joy as I never could feel living in the West.
- My head knows the truth of the concept of the formless and of the idea of 'killing the Buddha', but my heart is absolutely immersed in the love and worship of form. I even have no desire for enlightenment any more and would rather love Buddha than become him, in these my own ways.
- Does this mean I am stuck somewhere and need you to be a totapuri to cut my forehead, or is it okay for me to remain in my present ecstatic, heart-throbbing world?
- Question 4 from Chidvilas
- Beloved Osho, kindly tell me -- have we met in a past life?
- Question 5
- Why are the psychotherapists called shrinks?
- Question 6 from Ratna
- Do real problems exist? Are all problems just mind games? Does awareness make problems disappear? Or is there a possibility that awareness brings repression? If I'd that whenever I feel a little more centered and aware than usual I don't feel any problems, but when I am no more centered all the old problems are back and they look even bigger. Is this repression?
- Question 7 from Brenda
- Osho, what's it all about?
