synopsis
Reader of the questions: Sw Yoga Chinmaya.
Question 1
Osho, it is generally believed that religion is a search for truth. But one night you said that while the Greek mind, the scientifically inclined mind, sought truth, the Eastern mind, the religious mind, has moksha, or freedom, as its object of search. But you have also said in the past that it is truth alone that liberates.
Will you kindly explain the contradiction?
Question 2
Osho, on the path of meditation many seekers find it difficult to know clearly whether they are making any progress or whether they are just suspended on one plane, simply moving in repetitions. Will you please explain in detail about those factors which indicate the meditator's constant progress?
Question 3
Osho, of the two paths -- that is, bhakti and yoga -- yoga is arduous; it requires a great penance. For a worldly man, it is a difficult task. Those who attained the Brahman or moksha through yoga had renounced the world. There are, on the other hand, instances like that of Narsi Mehta or Meerabai which show that through bhakti even a common man can attain gyana -- supreme knowledge. Will it not, therefore, be correct for the common man to choose only the path of bhakti?
