Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Hare Krishna, I have been to Osho Ashram at Pune some 7 years before to know more about him. wonderful what we found. Peoples will Intrepreat in diff way but actually his philosaphy is great and good. Only we should have the mind to understand closely.

He has always an interesting view point onthings, most times a little or more varied than thenorm.A piece from his discourse is posted below.RegardsBalagopalNARAYANAYA NARAYANAYA NARAYANAYAThere are two kinds of seekers who become interestedin truth. One starts looking for scriptures: he maybecome a great intellectual, he may become a giant,but inside there will be darkness. All his light isborrowed, and a borrowed light is not going to help inthe real crises of life. I am reminded of a Christian priest who used to repeatin every sermon Christ's saying, "If somebody slapsyou on one cheek, give him the other, too." Everybodyliked his sermons, he was quoting such greatstatements. But in one place a man really stood up andslapped the priest on one of his cheeks. The priestwas shocked, because he had just been quoting Jesus.But anyway, to save his face, he gave his other cheek.And that man must have been a real rebellious type; heslapped the other one, too. Now this was too much! The priest jumped at the man and started beating him.And the man said, "What are you doing?" He said, "The scripture stops with the second cheek.Now I am here and you are here: let us decide this." Borrowed scriptures won't help in actual encounters.In life there are everyday realities to be faced. Indeath the ultimate reality has to be faced. Andborrowed knowledge is not going to help at all. The second type of seeker does not go towards thescriptures, but starts searching for a master. Get the freedom to save as many mails as you wish.
