synopsis
Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
Question 1
Beloved Osho, having heard you talk about competition and our childhood the other morning, it set me thinking of my own education. I realized that for twenty-one years solidly, every single event at school -- from playing in the garden, through official sports, to Latin grammar -- was basically an exercise in how to beat the next person. It seems as if it was the single most damaging experience of my life. I can't think of a more perfect system to destroy children and make us completely inharmonious with the world around us. How can we help children to grow to their full potential, without encouraging this competitive spirit?
Question 2
Beloved Osho, India, your homeland, has treated you badly and without due respect. Yet sometimes when I hear you speak, do I not detect a subtle fondness in you for India and her people? Osho, what do you love about India?
Question 3
Beloved Osho, how can I assert myself if I dissolve and accept whatsoever is happening?
Question 4
Beloved Osho, before I see you each day, I am so excited at the thought of seeing you. But when I do I become blank, as if I have no face, no smile. I even find it difficult to namaste you, as if I have become invisible in front of you. Whatever my heart does looks childish, and it feels as if any act I did would be just dumping my rubbish on you. Osho, I have never expressed how much gratitude I feel, although my heart is full of it.
