Hi El, Dan et al

 

Mahesh Bhatt had mentioned somewhere

in the autobiography of UG that Osho

had delivered several talks against

UG.

 

Check out this interesting link

and lets talk.

 

:)

OSHO:

 

One of my sannyasins went to see U.G. Krishnamurti, and because he argued

with him, U.G. Krishnamurti immediately became angry. And these people like

U.G. Krishnamurti are telling people to drop anger, to drop greed, to drop

the ego. But if you provoke them... Their whole religion is just skindeep.

Inside is hiding a very pious ego, and when ego becomes pious it becomes

poisonous. It is more dangerous because you become absolutely unaware of it,

it goes so deep down in the unconscious. U.G. Krishnamurti lived with J.

Krishnamurti for twelve years, and he never mentions his name. If somebody

brings up J. Krishnamurti's name, he immediately condemns J. Krishnamurti --

and whatever he is saying is just an imitation of J. Krishnamurti,

paraphrasing. The reason he cannot accept the fact that he has been with J.

Krishnamurti for twelve years is very simple. The moment he accepts it, then

you can compare his statements with J. Krishnamurti's, and you will find

they are simply paraphrasing. He is repeating, imitating, he knows nothing.

Hi Dave --

 

This stuff is too funny,

the way they pot-shot each other

on top of spiritual mountain.

They seem blind to their own

pettiness and grandiosity,

and acutely aware of

others', Osho, U.G., and

J.K. pretty similar

on that account, although

different in many other ways ...

 

I notice Osho even says something about

how U.G. " acted like a woman " --

 

I mean, it's all too much isn't it?

 

Who is the real enlightened dude -- the

one who is dead, the one who can get

another one to get pissed off by sending

a student to irritate him, or

the one who paraphrases a guy whom

he says he repudiates but of whom

he is jealous?

 

I mean, at what point do you just start

rolling on the floor about this stuff?

 

Thanks --

 

Smiling,

Dan

Hya Dan,

yep, but 'funny' may putting it too lightly..

its absolutely hilarious! Its 'spiritual'

entertainment for free; no charges attached (LOL)

 

>I notice Osho even says something about

...Not to mention, is that Osho's opinion of women in general?

...beats me, Osho for one didn't outlive

his usefulness. From what I've heard,

Osho started this personal pot-shot when

some of his smarter members of

the inner circle left the Poona Ashram

after meeting UG.I believe UG convinced them

that all those therapeutic techniques that Osho

was dishing out and marketing was bogus, a

tranquilizer- bromide at most.

 

UG's main point, unlike JK and Osho,

was " how could the(nonexistent)mind be

used to transcend the mind ? " Even the zen

gang were undermined.

 

...but as the saying goes- you can fool the

people some of the time but not all

the time.

 

Namaste

The mind must come to an understanding.

The mind must come to a stop.

The mind must come to rest.

 

Even after SELF realization

the mind and the body continue to function.

 

If it were not so, there would be no Dave,

no Dan, no Michael to post these ridiculous

messages on this group. :-)

 

Surely, they arise in consciousness and they

fall just as quickly.

 

There is no one reading these messages,

there is only reading.

Exactly! It's too much as much is revealed, of

which the one revealing seems unaware ...

Not to mention, group-think idealizing mind-conditioning.

Not sure that this is truly a unique point,

nor so different from JK or Zen.

 

Zen teachings often stress that the mind can't

be used to transcend itself. JK went on

about the limitations of thought. Osho borrowed

much from Zen and Sufism concerning the inability

of mind to provide transcendence.

 

There's no unique point ever made.

 

No point looking for such a point. :-)

 

> ..but as the saying goes- you can fool the

Good saying.

 

I enjoyed a Zen story once read, about

a monk who awoke each day telling himself,

" Daisan, don't be deceived. " :-)

 

Love and namaste,

Dan

Dan -

 

I see you're enjoying the play.

These days I'm also keeping myself

entertained but with the dialetics

of Nagarjuna esp. his Madhyamaka Karika.

And I agree with UG statement when he mentioned

somewhere that the complete works of JK are

contained in one sentence of Nagarjuna -

" freedom from all concepts, neither existence

or non-existence nor both existence and non-existence " .

IMHO,if there were any real dudes in all

history then Nagarjuna takes the cake.

 

Some brief pointers..

Right, but my comment was really directed to

neutralize Osho's agreement that JK systematic methods

using practises as choiceless awareness and so on,

initiated by the mind could lead to mind transformation.

 

OSHO - " U. G. Krishnamurti missed Ramana. Then he missed J. Krishnamurti

too. He lived for years with J. Krishnamurti. Now, J. Krishnamurti is

totally different in his expression, very logical, very rational. The

beginning of his work is always with the mind; then slowly slowly he leads

you beyond the mind " -

 

Now is that really true ? The rshi of the Katha Upanishad

made a key point - not by effort,learning, tapasya or discourses...

but to whom the Self chooses -

 

:)

Hi Dave --

 

Nice chatting with you here.

 

> I see you're enjoying the play.

 

A reflection in a dew drop ...

Excellent.

 

> And I agree with UG statement when he mentioned

> or non-existence nor both existence and non-existence " .

 

UG's statement is clearly self-serving and with agenda.

 

Take out anything self-serving and you've got:

Nagarjuna was clear --

" freedom from all concepts, neither existence

nor non-existence, nor both ... "

 

Oops, forgot to mention " not neither existence nor

nonexistence " ...

 

But, from whence comes dragged in " the complete

works of JK are summed up " ... just a

comparison, an activity of mind ...

for what? the truth is here, that's enough --

 

The complete works of JK -- such nonsense --

getting caught up in the complete works

of so and so -- there are no complete works

of so and so --

this is completeness ...

 

> IMHO,if there were any real dudes in all

> history then Nagarjuna takes the cake.

 

He took the cake, and then he was taken.

O.K.

 

But this is distortion -- JK made

clear that he wasn't describing a path

or a practice.

 

Choiceless awareness isn't something practiced,

isn't done to get a result.

 

It's choiceless -- what has been called " acausal. "

 

Did JK's tone get contradictory, do he

sometimes sound like he was prescribing?

 

Perhaps.

 

But a speaker's tone is a speaker's tone, reality

is reality.

 

Speakers being concerned about one another's tones,

and reality remains reality.

I agree with you.

 

It's a fool's game, but it paid the bills.

 

Established the K Foundation, too.

 

 

The rshi of the Katha Upanishad

Well, in/as reality there is only Self,

which is thus notSelf at all --

and no one to be chosen -

 

one dew drop's reflection includes

a million reflections of a million

dew drops reflecting ...

 

So you are chosen, because there is none

other to choose.

 

Lucky you -- only by being chosen,

you get to be not, you get to get

that you don't get to get ...
