notes

synopsis: Reader of the questions: n/a; questions are being read by Osho himself.

Question 1

Beloved Osho, you say that mind's substance is memory and information.

Does reading therefore inflate and invigorate the mind?

Question 2

Beloved Osho, I took sannyas from Swami Shivanand of Rishikesh after reading his book Brahmacharya and other books of his.

After some years, I was attracted to Sri Ramana Maharshi and thereafter to Sri Aurobindo due to his integral approach to the divine. From 1959 onwards I was doing meditation on the lines indicated by Sri Aurobindo and the mother.

Thereafter J. Krishnamurti's approach attracted me, now yours.

I enjoy and feel happy whenever I read Sri Aurobindo's works, since he emphasizes living a full life and realization of integral divine and gives much emphasis to physical transformation.

You also emphasize not to negate life but to live fully, and have given a new meaning to sannyas.

Hence I am here to embrace this also.

I wonder whether I am on the right path or drifting?

What is this multifarious attraction in me?

Could you help me with a right path if I am drifting?

Question 3

Beloved Osho, I came to a point where I saw the ego can be dropped right now -- but then I had to see that I don't want to drop it.

But I want to want.

Can you bring light to this place?

Question 4

Osho, how can I surrender when Judas is in the way?
