Any Osho's Discourse about Love, Heart Breaks and Moving on ! Can be both Hindi and English

Osho said he got enlightenment

What i think is he said that just to get more attention I'm not saying he did wrong maybe this is the best approach..

I think there is nothing like enlightenment by enlightenment I mean gaining knowledge or some type of wisdom in just one night..

What you think?

We all agreed on this point tht he is quite manipulative and use people for his purpose..

So he lied tht he gained enlightenment..

He was a great intellectual.

I was hesitant to watch it because I have immense love for Osho as a guru, and he changed my whole life. I trust him with my whole being, but there was a fear inside me, what if I see something and my whole life comes crashing down? So, I avoided it as much as I could because I was happy for no reason at all. But after watching it, all I've gained is more and more trust and love for Osho. It opened my eyes even more to how big he was, and how he made a major impact on a so called superpower of the earth.

That nation consisted of citizens with big fucking ego like in any other country but I do understand them, thanks to Osho himself. They wanted their peace and felt threatened due to the weird things happening at the commune. But if only they had opened their minds a little and tried to understand this Buddha of this century, I feel bad for them. All those things happening at the commune free love, free sex were not a taboo, but only a tool to destroy the fucking ego from its roots. Just look at those people, so fucking happy and living freely.

I felt bad that I was born at the wrong time; I should have been in the place of that bitch Sheela, who did not understand Osho's teachings well. She fucked everything up, but I do understand her, too. She was in love with him and didn't want to disappoint Osho. She was a powerful personality, but only due to Osho's backing, alone, she was nothing. Sheela was similar to the people of Antelope, groomed from childhood. Her father told her that she and Osho were inseparable, which was not true, as Osho had no contract with anyone for anything. And the people of Antelope were into their retirement, groomed for years into religion like any other citizen of any other country and They fucked up real bad, both of them. Sheela was too attached to the commune and wanted to save it at any cost taking 6,000 homeless people for the county election, poisoning people, trying to kill Osho's doctor, and then running away. She was too attached and never understood Osho properly, like many sannyasins at that time. Like one of Osho's well-known followers, Swami Vishrant, says, many of the sannyasins at the commune were very attached to the commune, like Sheela. They wanted the same thing for the future, too, and had no individuality. Everyone was feeling high on Osho's energy and spiritual knowledge, but there was no hint of total surrender and letting go of the ego. But they were immensely happy performing dynamic meditation and getting highs off life, feeling bliss, listening to discourses, and understanding the theory, but not letting go. This is my personal opinion, it's what I felt after watching, in line with Swami Prashant.

Sheela did so much damage to the commune when Osho was in silence, it was crazy. But, as Osho taught us, everything was perfect as it is. Maybe if Sheela didn't do this fuckery, Osho would have lived a little longer and suffered way less at the hands of America, and maybe the commune would have sustained. But watching everything exactly as it is makes perfect sense to me personally, it was beautiful. Swami Prem Niren was the only sensible guy, according to me, who was the personal lawyer of Osho at that time.

I loved how the series makers kept it neutral by showing both sides of the story, but people still find it offensive because the practices were too taboo at that time. But watching it as a tool to destroy ego is very important. I can understand why so many people misunderstood it, but as Osho says, it is what it is and im at ease with existence. I did cry a little at how this Buddha was treated, as he was only spreading love and peace to people, but I'm even stronger and more courageous now after watching it.

What are your view on the things happened? any of you were in that commune who can share more details/

Please help me find this discourse.I need help to find the discourse zen:zest,zip,zap and zing.

Thank you 🙏

Osho always said that sex should be in it’s own place and it shouldn’t go to our mind. When sex is in our mind, it’s bad. And masturbation is sex with mind, with imaginations, with porn, but not with a real partner. I was reading Osho`s book "Intimacy" and I found a passage that struck a chord in me.

Your mind is sexual because of suppression, and the mind says, "Suppress it more. Find new methods and ways and means to suppress it more so that celibacy will flower." But it cannot flower that way. Through suppression, sex not only goes into the body, it goes into the mind, it becomes cerebral. Then a person goes on thinking about it, again and again. Hence so much pornographic literature in the world. Why do people like to see pictures of naked women? Are women themselves not enough? They are, they are more than enough! So what is the need? The picture is always more sexual than a real woman. A real woman has a body and a shadow, and her footsteps will be there, and sound will be created. A photograph is a dream; it is absolutely mental, cerebral, and it has no shadow. A real woman will perspire and there will be a smell of the body; a picture never perspires. A real woman will be angry; a picture is never angry A real woman will age, will become old; a picture always remains young and fresh. A picture is just mental. Those who suppress sex in the body become mentally sexual. Then their mind moves in sexuality, and then it is a disease. If you feel hungry it is okay, eat; but if you think about food continuously, then it is an obsession and a disease. When you feel hungry it is okay if you eat and are finished with it. But you are never finished with anything, and everything goes into the mind.~ Osho

Answer from Quora

Hey everyone,

Have come here to understand something. Have been listening to Osho a lot for the last 5 years almost. His talk on not supression of sexual energy was well received and since then i don't have any kind of guilt when i masturbate or have sex.

But, even now when i am married having regular sec almost and even masturbating when not going to have sex. Still i keep looking at porn. In a recent lecture of osho that i was listening, he said who all have suppressed sexual energy only they will look at these. I don't understand how else am i supposed to let this energy flow?

please help.

Very grateful for Osho
