- Reader of the questions: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- Question 1
- Beloved Osho, there is a Zen story about two monks who were returning to their monastery.
- While walking ahead, the older monk came to a river. On the bank there was a beautiful young girl. She was afraid to cross alone. The old monk quickly looked away from her and crossed the river.
- When he was on the other side he looked back, and to his horror he saw the younger monk carrying the girl across the river on his shoulders.
- The two monks continued their journey side by side. When they were just outside the monastery gates the older monk said to the younger: That was not good, that was against the rules, we monks are not supposed to touch women.
- The younger monk replied: I left her on the bank of the river, are you still carrying her?
- Beloved Osho, would you talk to us about the alternative to suppressing or expressing our emotions?
