When I was teenager growing up in India, I didn't hear about Ramana, JK or Niz, but, I did hear about Ranjneesh. A famous national magazine published article on him, people talked about him.

I had no hope or wish for enlightenment or jnana or of finding out " Who Am I? " . But, I enjoyed meditation immensely and I greatly enjoyed the expanded feeling and some 'body-less-ness' that meditation generated. Osho taught meditation Osho taught surrender, letting go... Making Oneself Empty... Void, Zero, Available... Available so that the Existence can sing through it, the Creation can dance through it. .... Other way was to... Feel anything intensely, Fully, Deeply... or just Watching anything Completely! ..... They all Worked... ..... But, then, something Strange and Unexpected started Happening... As if, I started catching other's Meditations... As if, I started catching other's 'vibrations'... My colleague would mediate... .....and, I would get Extremely Peaceful and Calm! Another colleague would just enter the Room... ....and, you would feel Extremely Calm, Quiet, Silent... thoughtless... Zero! I wouldn't feel talking or doing anything... just Being... ..... All that was somewhat " good " ! But, sometimes it even got little embarrassing... My body would start 'Vibrating' in a way that was 'Externally Visible'! Once a Muslim Fellow started reciting his daily Prayer in the train Compartment that I was sitting in and my body started Vibrating so Intensely and Uncontrollably that I hade to leave the Compartment!
