Guest guest Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 I think we can all take a sigh of relief. Sam and Warwick have Poona in common but did not share a flat nor have they met before. Perhaps just to make sure, an exchange of pictures? Warwick, your claiming that Sam was your roommate and even describing him in some detail was really wonderful. Am I the only one who thinks this was really funny? :-) :-).

Sam, if you have read the mail you will see that a truce has been declared. When a truce has been agreed it is ungentlemanly to fire the odd pistol shot. And not wise, either, if peace is one's top priority. A little sniping can lead, before you know what's happened, to heavy artillery barrages. Let us just agree to disagree. May the good Lord bless you Warwick - Sam Monday, April 26, 2004 9:07 PM Hi Warwick Back from our weekend and read the mails. So Warwick, please refresh my aging memory, when and where do you think we lived together? Warwick, it bothers me that after all the years in Poona etc., you call yourself a Rajneeshee, a name invented by the American press to belittle Osho's sannyasins who were for the most part, just as you, sincere spiritual seekers. Your principal argument against Osho seems to be that as far as you know no one became enlightened by him and therefore he could not have been enlightened himself. But Warwick, he never promised us that we would become enlightened. In fact he kept trying to remind us of the fact that we already were, and that no one can either give or take away from us what we already are. 'Trying to get it' made me plenty unhappy also. I guess we have different sorts of characters, I mostly blame myself for that and you seem to be blaming Osho, Cohen and others. Nevertheless, now you are experiencing moments of peace after the years of trying.It is possible that this might not be happening to you without the years that you spent in Poona. First the effort and then the relaxation, and where else on earth were efforts such as those made possible for us by Osho's vision available? Nowhere I think. I consider myself blessed for the opportunity to have been there. Don't forget that Osho was working for the long vision. How many followers of Buddha, or Christ, or Ramana, have become enlightened over the centuries? Yet, part of the glimpse is the certain knowledge that Grace is the destiny of each and every sentient being. In accordance with the suggestions of others maybe you should change your name to Peacenick. Remember that one? namaste (and a hug), Sam/Sadhananda btw, what was your sannyas name? /join "Love itself is the actual form of God."Sri RamanaIn "Letters from Sri Ramanasramam" by Suri Nagamma /join "Love itself is the actual form of God."Sri RamanaIn "Letters from Sri Ramanasramam" by Suri Nagamma /join "Love itself is the actual form of God."Sri RamanaIn "Letters from Sri Ramanasramam" by Suri Nagamma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 no Harsha! i can relate to what is going on here a sense of comraderie; an atmosphere of trust ; a general feeling of togetherness and above all Love THE COMMON BOND ... none of that heavy spiritual stuff cut and paste posts yes, Love should be the foundation on which spiritualty should be based ! Then said Almitra, Speak to us of Love. And he raised his head and looked upon the people, and there fell a stillness upon them. And with a great voice he said: When love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you believe in him, Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden. For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth. Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself. He threshes you to make you naked. He sifts you to free you from your husks. He grinds you to whiteness. He kneads you until you are pliant: And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God`s sacred feast. All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life`s heart. But if in your fear you would seek only love`s peace and love`s pleasure, Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love`s threshing floor, Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears. Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself, Love possesses not nor would it be possessed: For love is sufficient unto love. When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart," but rather, "I am in the heart of God." And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course. Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires: To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving: To rest at the noon hour and meditate love`s ecstasy: And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in you heart and a song of praise upon you lips.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Hullo Harsha, You are right; it is a comic twist. What brought it about is that a man with whom I used to share a flat in Kentish Town, in the early eighties, published an apologia for Rajneesh, under the name of Sam, in the nineties. Cheers - Harsha Monday, April 26, 2004 11:30 PM Warwick and Hi Sam I think we can all take a sigh of relief. Sam and Warwick have Poona in common but did not share a flat nor have they met before.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Dear Warwick and Sam, I am reminded of the movie Casablanca. I can see you and Sam saying to each other, "We will always have Poona". You might even say, "The misunderstandings of two good people does not amount to a hill of beans in this cruel polluted world." Then I can see you and Sam hugging and walking hand in hand saying, "This could be start of a beautiful friendship." Also I can see someone saying, "Playing it again Sam!" Ok, here is looking at you kid!
