notes

synopsis: Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.

Question 1

Beloved Osho, when I leave your discourses, I feel tremendously good and bright, but still I'm afraid to get influenced again by people outside so that I fall back again into my old mind. Can you say something about energies and experiences, and how we can move in the marketplace without getting influenced by other people who have not such good energy.

Question 2

Beloved Osho, in my explorations before taking sannyas, I was initiated into the four meditation techniques of guru Maharaji. I had a very beautiful experience with one of the techniques during the initiation session, and still find the techniques simple and fascinating. However, there is much conflict in me about using these techniques since I have become a sannyasin. And I never fell in love with guru Maharaji like I fell in love with you.

Can you please give some guidance about whether or not it is okay for me to continue practicing these techniques while being a sannyasin -- or should I drop them?

Also, I would love to hear what you have to say about guru Maharaji.

Question 3

Beloved Osho, I always feel that I find a wrong lover, always something doesn't fit well and I feel frustrated. Please, I need your message.
