synopsis
Reader of the questions: Sw Anand Vimal.
Question 1 from Helen
Beloved Osho, I arrived in Poona a few days ago with so many fixed attitudes of cynicism on one hand, and so much hope on the other. All expectations and negativity have vanished, and I feel I am empty of all but a great sadness. I have been touched by your great love and the compassion of your sannyasins, but still I keep fighting again and again. I feel my heart close up and become ugly, and I feel isolated among friends.
What can I do to be more accepting of your love and of those around me?
Question 2 from Sw Anand Maitreya
Beloved Osho, one sutra from the Shrimad Bhagavadgita I have always avoided sharing with you: "When a man reaches the state where he ceases to have ill will against all living beings, he attains clarity of vision. In that state all directions of the world become joyful for him."
I cannot speak for others, but as far as I am concerned this sutra seems tellingly true. I cannot deny that I am full of ill will against all living beings. And that is exactly why I avoid asking you about it: because I shudder at the thought of exposing myself to you, although I have a vague feeling that you know me much better than I do.
Will you please comment?
Question 3 from Sw Prem Azima
Beloved Osho, dancing with you in Chuang Tzu every day I find that I am more and more mad. Still, most of the time, I can clearly see a subtle line within me that is holding me back.
Osho, what is this fear of losing oneself all about?
