notes

synopsis: Reader of the questions: Sw Anand Vimal.

Question 1 from Nirah

Edited excerpt: 8min 10sec, question 1 **

Beloved Osho, is it possible to die consciously without being enlightened?

Question 2 from Ma Jivan Mary

Edited excerpt: 3min 47sec, beginning of question 2 **

Beloved Osho, I sit here feeling the stillness of the universe, listening to a bird's sweet song -- and I wonder. Then I listen again to your vision for mankind now, and I wonder that perhaps I am your hands and your feet -- that perhaps I should be out there. I wonder whether this frail bud is yet ready enough, that maybe it needs a little more sweet dew and sun fire....

Question 3 from Nitin

Edited excerpt: 15min 20sec, question 3 **

Beloved Osho, is it really possible to be in the "now-here" all the time? Most of my time seems to go in planning for, or worrying about, the future.

Question 4 from Dhyananand

Edited excerpt: 12min 01sec, question 4 **

Beloved Osho, sitting in the discourse, closing my eyes, I find myself all alone with your voice and the song of the birds, touching the space where all is one. It is an experience of silence, clarity and eternal peace. Even sleep, war or destruction appear as divine expressions of life. Returning to the world of forms, I see persons, conflicts, dualities everywhere. Existence becomes a question mark, and I am afraid this planet can be destroyed, and all its beauty disappear. Deep down, I sense that I am both and both are one.

Beloved master, is awareness a boat crossing to the other shore, and love a bridge to come back -- uniting the banks of the river of life?

Question 5 from Dhyan Amiyo
