synopsis
Reader of the questions: n/a; questions are being read by Osho himself.
Question 1
Small Siddhartha once wisely said that Osho is a girl. My feelings also. Many times you have said as much, and your ways of surrender and passivity echo the essential female in Lao Tzu. If choice was possible why did you assume a male form for your final showdown?
Question 2
Sometimes I have the feeling that it is not us who are the real listeners. Do you have other disciples -- unseen, unknown by us, and less sleepy than we are?
Question 3
I know nothing -- I don't even know what to ask. What question is there? And what words can answer the problems of a sleeping soul when the only answer is already so pronounced: be awake, be total. It is your presence that my question seeks -- not your response.
Question 4
I no longer have the desire to do anything. Nothing seems to matter to me anymore. Life is so much effort: the body requires food and suffers constant physical discomfort. The ego wants attention, the mind continues its constant movement. I often think about how nice it would be to die. Is committing suicide just an escape from life? Is there any reason why one should not commit suicide?
Question 5
I know I should be unattached. Now I judge myself for having bought beautiful orange material rather than having the courage to run around like some do in some dirty rag.
Question 6
I have a question -- but I can't figure out what it is.
Question 7
We come out of nothingness and go back into it. The soul remains around the body if the body is buried after death, and it leaves the body immediately if the body is burnt. How is the soul related to nothingness?
Question 8
It seems that energy and the ego are the same. Instead of dropping the ego should we not learn to use it?
Question 9
Can we have a tea ceremony with you one day instead of a lecture?
Question 10
When you die will you invite us to come with you? I would not like to be left behind when you go.
