Another gem from Osho

Every now and then this Osho makes me realize that life is worth living and nothing is wrong in this world. In fact everything is right. All you need to do is stop compromising with life and everything will be right.

Here is another gem:

"There has never been a person like you before, there is not anybody else like you right now in the whole world, and there will never be anybody like you. Just see how much respect God has paid to you. You are a masterpiece — unrepeatable, incomparable, utterly unique. Even the hardest heart,
the rock-like heart, will start melting in gratitude"

My dear NRI

My Dear NRI

You leave me speechless at times. Your concern for your homeland and patriotism gives me goose bumps. You are forever obsessed with anything and everything Indian – cricket, bollywood, kollywood, corrupt politicians, carnatic music, and everything else which one would associate with the word INDIA.

But somewhere in this love affair, you lose your objectivity. Your obsession for anything India gets transformed to a nit-picking campaign which you brilliantly blow up to ridiculous proportions. For example, if a kid gets lost in an Indian city even for a moment, for you that’s a sufficient enough evidence to conclude India is unsafe for children. Going by this logic, if an adult loses his way in an Indian city, I guess we should all conclude India is unsafe for adults too.

Every third post in your blog would be about the lack of discipline in Indian roads, the corrupt political system, the unscrupulous bureaucracy, the snail’s pace functioning of government departments etc. If only the rating agencies like Standard and Poor or Moody’s got a chance to read your blog, I guess India would be downgraded from ‘Sumaara Irukku’ to ‘Naasama Pochu’.

It is an irony that in this very nitpicking campaign, you betray the same Indian trait which you decry with all your heart among your resident brethren. I mean, you sit safely in a developed country and keep on gossiping about your underdeveloped motherland. How useful is that? Look at it in another way, you make a living in a foreign country and all but obsessed with your home country when you could do a lot to better your adopted country – typical Indian trait again.

Chinese Communism


The Govt wants the land cleared for building some complex. The family living there won't budge. This is in Chongqing, central China.

Do you think this is true?

Do you think this is still the state of Asian culture?

Osho Thought

Existence is abundant - millions and millions of flowers,
millions of birds, millions of animals — everything in abundance.
Nature is not ascetic, it is everywhere dancing — in the ocean, in the trees. It is everywhere singing — in the wind passing through the pine trees,
in the birds....
What is the need of millions of solar systems,
each solar system having millions of stars?
There seems to be no need,
except that abundance is the very nature of existence;
that richness is the very core; that existence does not believe in poverty
