notes

synopsis: Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.

Question 1

Beloved Osho, I'm experiencing more and more a harmony, a quietness, an ease, an abundance in myself, moments in which I feel so vast and rich, like the universe, and so close to you. I dive into it and disappear, and see that this again was just an opening, a door to another dimension on this ongoing, never-ending journey you are taking me, my Beloved Master.

And I can find no words to express how much I feel, that I can be with you.

Being together with a man I find these most beautiful and precious moments so rarely; it seems most of the time is wasted in loving and finding ourselves and each other. Why is it so difficult for me to be in this harmony together with a man, and even take him with me into this unknown?

Or is it something which can happen just between you and me?

Question 2

Beloved Osho, even in my childhood I never rebelled when something wasn't authentic. I learned to wear a mask. I learned it so well that it is very difficult for me to see whether I'm authentic or phony.

Tomorrow I am going to take sannyas.

Is it alright with you to have a disciple who has so little authenticity and who hardly knows what love is?

Question 3

Beloved Osho, sometimes life seems to be such a drag that I would rather like to die. Any advice?

Question 4

Beloved Osho, in 1980 you gave me sannyas. I was not even looking for a master. Since then I have experienced the joy and fun of being one of your disciples.

But now I start feeling the pain: You are so vast -- where is the way? Is there a way? Just to be true is so difficult.

And is that all?

Question 5

Beloved Osho, do you have any problem which you have not solved yet?

Question 6

Beloved Osho, what is the last question we should ask you, Osho?
