"I Love To Disturb People" - Osho

Without a doubt... Osho was incredibly shocking... and also extremely funny! He had a remarkable ability to recognize patterns and see the interconnections and interdependence of all things. Nevertheless... he was a fallible human being just like all the rest of us.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts... and the link to The BeeZone... very interesting website. I believe that some of what you have referred to in other posts about Osho probably has some parallels in what you might recognize as Crazy Wise Work...

I agree with you that at the very core... all religions and spiritual traditions are simple... and based on experiences and are essentially universal. There is far more that we all have in common than our personal particular lives would suggest. The paradox and the challenge is to maintain that simplicity while also allowing for the exploration of the details which ultimately lead back to the very same place... once again becoming like little children.

The last line in the passage you sited reminds me of Kahlil Gibran...

On Children ~ by Kahlil Gibran

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let our bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.
