synopsis
Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
Question 1
Beloved Osho, I've always been fascinated by the state of Bardo as described in ancient Tibetan scriptures. Could you say something about this?
Question 2 from Anando
Beloved Osho, yesterday when somebody asked me why I was with you I realized that I had no answer that would make any sense. To simply say because I love you seemed facile and totally inadequate to describe the awesome experience of being with you. And I am not with you for any intellectual reason, nor am I especially esoteric or even very religious. In fact, as a disciple, I am rather lousy. But I am indelibly stuck on you like the tiniest speck of an iron filing onto the mightiest magnet in the world. Beloved Osho, can you explain this phenomenon?
Question 3
Beloved Osho, I have heard you say that we are afraid to come close to you, but how can we come close? Also, I assume that when you gave me a name I was pure noise and a crowd inside. Not so long ago I started to fully recognize at least five totally different people taking over inside at different times. One of them is like a defiant, rebellious, strong, raging, revengeful virgin Greek warrior-goddess; another is a very insecure, vulnerable, soft, loving, hurt little girl. There are others, but these are the extremes. How, amongst them, can I recognize the real me, the individual?
Question 4
Beloved Osho, you have given me sannyas and this beautiful dimension of life, continuously showering your compassion and love. I feel as if I don't know anything about meditation or the inner journey -- I'm a hopeless case. Please throw some cold water on my face and wake me up from this deep sleep.
Question 5
Beloved Osho, yesterday a visitor to our house commented that we all have unusually shiny eyes. I have heard many others say the same. Why do your sannyasins have shiny eyes?
