- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the questions: n/a; questions are being read by Osho himself.
- Question 1
- The Bauls celebrate their lives in their bodies. Could you say more about this? Americans cherish their bodies with health food, rolfing, massage, etc. But I don't think this is the same as the Bauls. Could you please comment?
- Question 2
- Before coming to you I used to do a Buddhist meditation called Maitri Bhavana. It starts by saying to oneself: May I be well, may I be happy, may I be free from enmity, may I be free from ill-will against myself. After being penetrated by the feeling these thoughts generate, the next phase of the meditation consists in extending it to others: To start with, visualizing people you love and giving out this good feeling to them; then doing the same with people you love less, until you might even feel compassion for people you hate.
- I used to feel this meditation was pretty good. It somehow opened me to others. And I still feel there is something really deep and basic to it. But I dropped it when I came to you because I saw in it the danger of it being some kind of self-hypnosis. I still feel for this meditation but I am confused as to whether I should take it up again, maybe with a different attitude, or just drop it. Can you please speak about this meditation? I would be grateful.
- Question 3
- The other day you said that belief was like a lantern in the hands of the blind. May I know what faith is?
- Question 4 from Paras
- Most Beloved Osho, this morning I sit before you flooded with orgasm, light and feathery, deep and overwhelming. I hardly notice you. The inner is more, because of you. Paras.
