Hi Christopher Calder, lets play argu-argu :D Your earlier article "Osho, Bhagwan Rajneesh, and the Lost Truth" was whatever strange and ridiculous might be, but kind of honest testimony of a disciple, who disagrees with his once master. In my understanding it is utterly nonsense to pick few statements from Osho's more than 8500 hours of talks and evaluate him based on that. I can’t believe that a person like you, who knows him since ages, can do it. And funny thing is Osho himself never denied being contradictory, on a contrary he glorified it. Whatever Osho spoke in his lifetime is well documented and all of us have our own understanding to accept or reject him, partially or completely. For me, he explained my questions to me; that’s all what matters. How he conducted his life and commune, what was his relations with his disciples etc, are just irrelevant. Your hell-bend fight against post-Osho is so funny. It is more like, I enjoy sunbath under the soft morning sun; when the day grows and sun starts burning and I start accusing, shouting at sun, start collecting facts that how wrong the high temperature is for the humanity etc. I'll prefer to shift to the shade and thankfully goodbye the morning softness. You might know how bad person Newton was? He was so infamous for using his office to harm the efforts of other scientists of his time. Does that really make Newton's law any less important? The same way how Osho's life goes doesn’t' really make his talks any less enlightening. It also depends how we see it; just say, the same Iraqi struggle is a freedom fight against occupant army for many, and it is terrorist insurgency for many others. May be Osho's calling himself Bhagwan (God) was an neurotic utterance form a maniac for you, but it is a brave revelation and guidance for many others to break the very definition of God. Disagreeing with someone is very perfect, but knowingly misguiding is dishonest. For many things I disagree with him. In his view, being economically free and fulfilling all basic needs, the western society is ready to ask higher question. He assumed there may be an explosion of enlighten persons in countries like USA. But I don't think so; it is always individuals, east or west. As he said somewhere "These all talks I am giving you are just toys"; when I am not agree, that toy is not for me (remember my agree is a toys also). As oppose to the previous one, your new article "The Ridiculous Teachings of Wrong Way Rajneesh" is just a bunch of jokes. What are your arguments there? Rajneesh once stated that "India does not need high technology." How hilarious it is! His major disagreement with Gandhi was that, Gandhi is anti-technology. This guy, who is vigorously advocating, test-tube baby, cloning and all possible advance of science, back in 60's, when no one could even imagine to say yes; you are using this argument against him! How amazing. Here I am not trying to say that he did not say the above, but the context is completely missing from your article. The other argument about "Tantra", do you really know what is "Tantra"? Your statement "Tantric practice of parents having sex with their own children". Are you out of your mind? Do you know there is not even a translation for the word "incest" in Hindi or any other Indian language, leave aside having sexual relation with own children? Your another argument, "Rajneesh once stated that all wars would end by the year 2000 as the world would become so interdependent that war would be politically unacceptable". It’s impossibly unbelievable that you used such an optimistic observation against him. Isn't this observation true? Isn't it true that today USA is not bombing North Korea just as Iraq, because of this economical-interdependenc y with Japan, South Korea, China and Taiwan? Remember it is not a prophecy but an observation. I can pick any point from your article and proof it a lie. I feel sorry for you that you spend almost whole of your life (I assume you are 60+ now) and collected these craps. Rather I'll say you are a real German, well determined to clean the Oshoit filth from the earth :D …… sorry guys :) Here I am not trying to defend Osho or any one else. I don't think I have capacity or need to defend him. But it is my duty to oppose a misguiding misguided person :D Any ways, your articles are certainly helpful, this way or that! Love you, as usual :D |
