- Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
- Question 1
- Beloved Osho, Mahavira was the twenty-fourth tirthankara of the Jaina religion. Did the Jaina religion start with the very first tirthankara or with Mahavira? And what is the meaning of the word 'jaina'?
- Question 2
- Beloved Osho, a few days ago you said that an aware person could follow the footprints of a bird's flight. How about the footprints an enlightened person leaves? Do they keep the radiance and the fragrance of the enlightened one for long? Is it like nuclear radiation? -- if a person steps in the footprints of an enlightened one, will he be affected?
- If the answer is yes, then America should be conscientious enough to make that desert in central Oregon which once was made into an oasis, a high-risk area of dangerous contamination. They should put up a sign post: "Warning! Dangerous area of highly awakened consciousness. Keep out!"
- It is said that Gurdjieff's last words were, "Bravo America!" In my imagination I add on to this, "But America, what a pity: you missed."
- And the reality is that North America missed you. And now it seems the turn of South America to miss you too.
- Osho, is it possible that human stupidity can prevent the realization of cosmic consciousness?
- Question 3
- Beloved Osho, when, in the past, I allowed myself to be open and vulnerable, I often had the feeling that people tended to exploit this state of mind to hurt me or to do some harm to me.
- Recently, when in a similar situation, I found myself being less identified than in the past. I could stay more aloof and watchful, and didn't draw myself back. I stayed vulnerable and open and I didn't feel hurt or have the feeling of inferiority as much as before. In fact, I felt more receptive and feminine than ever before, and knew that I was on the right path.
- I saw myself as a small bird who has accidentally flown through a windmill and emerges from it with feathers askew and a look of surprise on its face.
- Can you please comment?
