notes

synopsis: Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.

Question 1

Beloved Osho, the fruit falls on the ground when it is ripe. One day, you will leave us, and it will be impossible to have another master in your place.

How can anybody else be the substitute for the master of masters?

Osho, when you leave the physical body, will your meditation techniques help our inner growth as they do now?

Question 2

Edited excerpt: 14min 54sec, a part of question 2 **

Beloved Osho, being on my own in the marketplace, I felt myself becoming very mechanical and unaware in my activities. Now, being in your presence and going inside, my body-mind speed is slowing down, and self consciousness is arising. This state of self cosnciousness gives a lightness, and one wants to stay in it more and more. When I look at you, I see a grace that is pointing far beyond.

Osho, can you speak on the self consciousness of the disciple, and the grace of the master?

Question 3

Beloved Osho, I sense something wonderful, something incredible happening to you over there in your chair. And more and more over the years, I sense something really wonderful happening within me over here. For me, it is not enlightenment -- I know that. But it is like a harmony with you.

Osho, can you say something about how I can reach through the smoke of the mind to bring this wondrousness, this beautiful feeling of giftedness out into the open so that it can grow?

Question 4

Beloved Osho, after leaving Rajneeshpuram in November last year, I experienced that it became nearly impossible for me to find out what I was going to do. In the beginning it was a bit frightening, but very soon I saw more and more that just waiting was enough, and many beautiful things started happening to me, without my going for it.

Is this how being with you works?

Question 5

Beloved Osho, being with you in discourse, I feel so nourished, and have finally found the rest I had longed for.

Being in the West, I didn't even feel how much I was missing being in your presence. How could I forget the beauty of being with you?
