notes

synopsis: Reader of the questions: Sw Anand Vimal.

Question 1 from Shantam Lani

Beloved Osho, I feel in my element when extroverted and in action. When I am quiet, and this busy bumble bee doesn't feel she has to be buzzing, it is very uncomfortable. Is the "doer" in me dying? Will it ever be able to relax in action and silence?

Question 2 from Sw Devageet

Beloved Osho, the other day you told me that my gorilla had turned into a lotus flower -- a buddha. I know that you were joking and meant that, like all your sannyasins, I am a buddha but sleeping still. But your saying it has triggered something. My gorilla really has stepped out of his hairy suit, and someone is standing pink as a peach and as new as the dawn looking at me, daring me to trust what is happening.

Osho, even your jokes are nuclear -- or am I being too simple?

Question 3 from Satgyana

Beloved Osho, the ecstasy of being in your beautiful presence... the thrill of your love, your laughter, your dance, your silence... The agony of realizing the transformation has not yet happened to me. Beloved master, is it very far away?

Question 4 from Disha

Beloved Osho, every time you move to a new place it gets more beautiful. Every time your work moves into a new phase it gets more intense. Every night your words and your silence are richer than those of the night before. And most of all,every dance you dance with us brings me higher and higher.

I don't know what you're building up to, or where we're going, but every moment I can feel it getting closer -- and I'm so excited!

Beloved Osho, what mischief are you up to this time?
