synopsis
Reader of the questions: Sw Yoga Chinmaya.
Question 1
Osho, last night you said that one can grow through total acceptance. But the East has remained undeveloped due to this principle of acceptance and contentment, whereas the West has become more developed only because of non-acceptance and discontentment.
Therefore, isn't it obvious that discontentment and non-acceptance is the principle for evolution and growth and not total acceptance? Please explain.
Question 2
Osho, one day you said that life is an interrelationship -- that everything is related. The next day you said, "Only you yourself are responsible for everything." But the psychologists say that the foundation of one's whole personality is laid in early childhood, between three and seven years of age, when one happens to be a helpless tool in the hands of the family and environment. Will you kindly explain the contradiction?
Secondly, in spite of this contradiction, the total growth of man lies in individual efforts as well as social. So is it not necessary that the religious man should seek to bring about a radical change in the very pattern of the society?
