No Master will know everything in a physical body.I dare, if you say that only Jesus knows it all. Nada. Wrong. If the living consciousness in it won't cooperate, he is just a 6 foot body nothing else. There are people who try to grasp all things around them per their own narrow minds. Expand and go beyond the utility and futility of things. If you can learn this, greater learning will be added to you. If you can't understand what I am saying you are a fool and you need to work on it. Don't you ever want to ask "Mannu, how do you see this from your lens? Please share. Don't I add an extra dimension to your own understanding at times. At times I don't." . People around him are doing exactly that to Osho. Getting his perspective. And he was so right when he envisioned that condoms are a nice way to mitigate the spread of the unknown disease called aids in his times. He was also right about Nostradamus and all those subject to interpretation prophecies of him. Those are the fruits of being a practical man. Osho was enlightened in mid 1950s I think. He was free to live as he wished. Who are we to judge him? In India many religions teach us to be ones own Master. Jain for example. Only in the west theres lot of superman/spiderman culture. They want to be rescued. Isn't it better to teach a guy fishing so he can make his own living? Of late I see episodes like X-men, Fantastic 4, Heroes. Thats a pleasant change. It might become a reality soon.

A woman came to me and said "I am fantasizing about this other guy while I am having sex with my current?" . I told some story rather than being like Osho. Disturb them. I should have said "Then go to this other guy whom you fantasize about. Soon you will return back to this other guy after realizing the emptiness of the first one." We build all this fantasies around us. How our girlfriend will look like, or how our children will look like, etc? Do we have any control on things? Then why do we control. A scorpio is a great manipulator they say. Only a cancer can understand his tricks because he knows the inevitability of things.
People have so much fantasies about God. Its like fantasising about a woman you can't have sex with and when you have her, you don't want her again. Same with God, if he was ever to show up, you will dump her too. IP: Logged |

Interesting.But not quiet satisfied... something doesn't click... I would think if I was fantasizing about another guy it is because my relationship with the current has ended and I would not come back to the one I was originally again only to do this one more time at a later time.

Oh not ur story NAM. I don't give much advice on LL. People who come here mostly seek attention. Not truths. This was about a girl who asked about a crush she used to have on a boy when she was growing up. People don't stay the same. I am sure the guy grew up. If she ever met this guy now, do you think she will have the same feeling? No.

BTW, I didn't watch this video there are some words I don't understand because of how he pronounces them and it drives me crazy so I have to turn it off. Sorry Sorry I am not familiar with Osho either, maybe one day I'll buy his books. IP: Logged |
