notes

synopsis

Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.

Question 1

Beloved Osho, when I came to Poona ten years ago I was a fifteen year-old teenage girl with a heart full of trust and a longing for truth. During those few months that I could stay with you undisturbed I experienced the most beautiful time of my life. When I was forced back to Germany by the legal authorities and my parents, who are not your sannyasins, something broke inside and left a wound which never healed.

Now, being with you in India again, the moment I walked through the ashram gate in Poona something slid into place, and a door opened. Walking through your garden, just sitting silent, under the trees, your fragrance is still in the air. My being vibrates, my heart sings, "Home, home, this is the place where I was born." There is so much joy that it is almost painful, and just beyond that, the silence.

Beloved Osho, what is happening with me? And why couldn't it happen anywhere else?

Question 2 from Sudha

Beloved Osho, thank you for talking about your cool love. I've wanted something from you which is ugly, and not in you to give. But it is what I have known -- the attachment and possessiveness of hot love. I have wanted and wanted for so many years for you to love me my way. I hope I am ready to learn to love your way. Osho, I feel so grateful for you. Can you forgive me for being such a relentless beggar?

Question 3

Edited excerpt: 12min 16sec, question 3 **

Beloved Osho, I don't know where I'm going, and I don't know what there is to do. Do I have what I need for this adventure?

Question 4

Beloved Osho, would you please comment on what has enabled and allowed you to go into and contain so much of existence. That you have penetrated and absorbed such vast realms and inexhaustible energies is a beautiful and majestic opening, and yet seemingly so far away, so unreachable. What can be said of your reality?

Question 5

Beloved Osho, when I got initiated into sannyas, exactly six years ago, I didn't know how to walk, how to sing, how to dance. Today I can dance under the stars, laugh, sing, play, rejoice. So much has been happening on the way. I do not know what is going on, or where I am going. All I know is that in my heart there is a burning desire to go with you on this crazy journey.

Beloved Osho, where are you taking us?
