Talk:Magan Bhaya Rasi Laga (मगन भया रसि लागा)

A few aspects of this small compilation may be worth exploring. First, what are the sources of the talks in this book? As mentioned in the article page, three seem to come from Kahai Kabir Diwana. This is the "larger" KKD, ie after its merger with Mera Mujhmein Kuchh Nahin (मेरा मुझमें कुछ नहीं), and the "seem to come from" is based at this point just on the same chapter titles appearing.

1. मन रे जागत रहिये भाई (from KKD #4)

2. बूझै बिरला कोई (from KKD #7)

3. कबीर—परम संत

4. जीवन एक गहन प्रयोजन

5. सत्संग का संगीत (from KKD #20, aka MMKN #10)

No correspondences or near-correspondences were found for ch 3 and 4.

The most interesting title of this lot is the first, in that it popped up as a chapter title in no less than four other Kabir collections. So which one applies, and how do we know?

KKD is the one. The key is that one of the other books, Ghoonghat Ke Pat Khol (घूंघट के पट खोल), is another short Kabir compilation published by the same crew, also in 1988, and they would not -- we hope!!!! -- have put the same talk in this one. And Ghoonghat also takes care of the other two books, since those two are merged together and are collectively and energetically the source for Ghoonghat's मन रे. Leaving KKD's मन रे, a different discourse with the same title. See also Ghoonghat's talk page.

Speaking of "the same crew", the "idiosyncratic" nature of "Rajneeshdham's" publishing decisions was commented on in the talk page for Jhuk Aayee Badariya Sawan Ki (झुक आयी बदरिया सावन की) (abridged). What i noticed just now is the cover for Jhuk Aayee and Magan Bhaya are just about identical. And the cover for Ghoonghat uses the same picture of Osho as well. And all in early 1988. You have to wonder:

• 

  Magan Bhaya

• 

  Jhuk Aayee

• 

  Ghoonghat
