notes

synopsis: Reader of the questions: Sw Anand Vimal.

Question 1 from Ma Prem Turiya

Beloved Osho, when you say that you want us to raise the consciousness of the world, it puzzles me. I feel I need all my energy to get my own feet off the ground. And I am in a way totally forgetting "that world," and glad to be able to let go and disappear in this buddhafield of drunken bliss, dance and silence. So what is it that we need to do in order to fulfill this vision?

Question 2 from Kavisho

Beloved Osho, when I hear you talk about past lives I get scared. I have never had any remembrance, just a vague feeling, and somewhere I know that I don't want to know... unless it's a remembrance of you. And about future lives, I get so sad -- just the idea of starting all over again, the family, the school, the fight for survival, and, above all, you won't be there.

How will I remember you, how will I not forget this tremendous gift that you are? I would like this moment to stretch into eternity... and forget about anything else.

Is there any great magical surgery possible? I want to heal....

Question 3 from Prem Anutosha

Beloved Osho, I would like so much to find beautiful questions, beautiful words, but nothing comes. In this moment, I realize that one of my deepest desires is just to hear you utter my name.

Question 4 from Prem Amrito

Beloved Osho, the latest news from public health officials and private AIDS physicians is that Catholic priests are now a high risk group for AIDS, in view of the high incidence of homosexuality among these priests. Catholic priests seem to be about ten times more likely to be homosexual than the rest of the population -- and most of them are actively homosexual.

Beloved Osho, I am worried about your going to the Vatican.

Question 5 from Ma Anand Katyayani

Beloved Osho, "Excuse me," said an ocean fish, "you are older than I, so can you tell me, where do you find this thing they call the ocean?"

"The ocean," said the older fish, "is the thing you are in now."

"Oh, this? But this is water. What I am seeking is the ocean," said the disappointed fish as he swam away to search elsewhere.
