- Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
- Question 1 from Sudha
- Beloved Osho, what is charisma? All sorts of people have it, both aware people and unaware people. Its such an intangible quality, I can say when someone is charismatic but can't define what it is.
- Question 2
- Beloved Osho, I feel a strong urge to create something in my life. I write songs and would like to sing them. They express my feelings and maybe because I feel you inside me, they also express a little bit of you. Can you please say something about the dividing line between expressing neuroses and the creation of something of beauty? Is it good for me to go on this trip?
- Question 3
- Beloved Osho, the real question is, am I a coward if I don't just put everything at stake in spite of those who wait for me back there? -- my girlfriend, my sick old mother who may die out of grief if I don't come back, my job and my colleagues, whom I might put in trouble.... And in spite of the utter insecurity I would put myself in, am I a coward if I don't just stay in this beautiful garden of your presence, the only place where I really feel alive? Am I missing another beautiful opportunity or is it just not yet the right time still?
- Question 4
- Beloved Osho, the other day, you talked about pride. It felt as if you were talking about a long-lost friend. The way I have been brought up, pride and humbleness are contradictory characters. My heart tells me that I can only become whole when they both meet. Is it that humbleness is my female part and pride, my male part? And can they meet in a loving heart? Please comment, beloved master.
- Question 5
- Beloved Osho, the other day you said that as long as we are dependent on the other, we are bound to hate them. Are you also my "other"? I know that right now I depend on you and I say yes to it with all my heart, but it drives me to tears to think that I should ever hate you because I am dependent on you. Can you please fill my heart with understanding and ease the pain?
