synopsis
Reader of the questions: n/a; questions are being read by Osho himself.
Question 1
I am yearning for the snake to become alive in me, setting me aflame....
Am I on a forbidden path? I am scared.
Question 2
This drama has occupied me since the transference of the towel. You passed your towel to sannyasins saying that it would descend like God -- but it landed on the floor. Then yesterday again you have taken it back. Buddha transferred the flower to Mahakashyap which is still with him.
Osho, is there no one out of all your sannyasins who can receive your towel? Please say something and clear it clearly.
Question 3 from Anurag
Why do you appear to give more attention to Westerners and, on the whole, to almost ignore Indians? -- I am thinking especially of when you give sannyas.
Question 4
Lately I feel you have been throwing us back on ourselves more and more.
Question 5 from Raj Bharti
You made me realise I was a coward and I accepted it and was happy. Now I am getting a feeling that I am becoming brave, and I am scared.
Question 6
You tell us every day to surrender, yet it still doesn't happen -- why not? I really want to let go, yet trying doesn't work, neither does not trying. What to do and when, if ever, will it happen?
Question 7
Beloved Osho, I went in search of Mulla Nasrudin and could not find him. So, upon your suggestion, I looked up swami Yoga Chinmaya and asked him why you threw your towel. He gave a half-hour-long discourse on the deeply symbolic and highly esoteric reasons. I came away laughing.
Osho, you tricked us again! Swami Yoga Chinmaya is Mulla Nasrudin.
Question 8
Beloved Osho, very mysterious things are happening.... A towel has been found in the question box and we don't know from where it has come!
Could you please enlighten us.
