- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the questions: n/a; questions are being read by Osho himself.
- Question 1
- I keep feeling that I want to fight you. There are many things I want to scream about, and there feels no room to scream. For example, this morning in answering a question, you said we are all involved in creating a tradition here and that if one does not fully accept what is happening, one should get out of it.
- I feel there does exist a hierarchy in this place and that some people are on big power trips. And I don't like it. I stay, for my feeling for you, for my friends and for myself. But I don't like the organization and the vibe of it. Should I get out?
- Question 2
- Why is the mind? It seems to be a very real part of our being. I would dig to function without it, but why, why is it there? Sometimes it seems that the mind screens out awareness, but also it seems that mind can be very practical, can help to do things. Does the mind have a place or is it something to be totally transcended?
- Question 3
- I have come here as a visitor and am very much puzzled by seeing all that is happening here. It all looks very crazy to me.
- Question 4 from Parodha
- I love very much this maxim by an American humorist: "An open mind is a great idea, but if you make it your primary aim in life, what you will end up with will more resemble a cave of winds." Sometimes I feel like this here, with the different activities blowing me in so many directions, but no direction seems to be clearly towards God. What to do?
- Question 5
- Do miracles happen? Was not Christ really born to a virgin Mary?
- Question 6 from Sangitam
- I am tired. I feel I am dying all the time. But what changes? Nothing. Even if I die, life and death are perfect, perfectly round, and I go on running after my own tail. Is there no place where I can stop? One moment in which I can stop, one single moment -- but then I go on passing, running, and I miss I don't even know what. Then I cry. What else can I do?
- Question 7
- Does enlightenment need a special place, a special time, to happen?
