Osho_The Hidden Splendor
ch 10 Enlightenment is not an experience

Question 1
BELOVED OSHO,
WHENEVER YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR SURGERY, OR HITTING PEOPLE HARD,
I CAN SENSE WHAT YOU MEAN BY IT. YET IN ALL THESE YEARS I HAVE NEVER
EXPERIENCED IT MYSELF. TO ME, YOU ARE LIKE A POTTER: I FEEL YOUR
HANDS MOLDING ME, GUIDING ME, LEADING ME, STRONG AND FIRM, BUT
ALSO WITH SUCH TENDERNESS AND LOVE AS I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED
BEFORE. IT IS SUCH A JOY TO BE FORMED BY YOUR GORGEOUS HANDS.
BELOVED MASTER, IN MY DOUBTING MIND A QUESTION ARISES: CAN IT
REALLY BE TRUE THAT YOU ARE GUIDING ME EVER SO GENTLY?
Prem Nandano, each individual needs a different treatment because each individual is so
unique. On the path there can be no mass surgery. ...
Question 3
BELOVED OSHO,
A YEAR AGO, ON MARCH 15TH, I WAS VISITING FRIENDS IN SANTA FE.
EARLY THAT MORNING, MAHAMATI AND I WERE LYING IN THE BACK OF MY
VAN WHEN IT WAS STRUCK FROM BEHIND. FOLLOWING THE IMPACT I
COULDN'T BREATHE. MY NECK AND BACK WERE AFLAME WITH PAIN, AND I
PANICKED. MY HAND DISCOVERED MY MALA AND THE STRUGGLE DROPPED
WITH THE DEEP REMEMBRANCE OF SANNYAS, AND I RELAXED TO BE AWARE
FOR DEATH. IRONICALLY, I BEGAN TO GET AIR, JUST A LITTLE, AND TOLD
MATI NOT TO FREAK OUT IF I DROPPED THE BODY, BECAUSE I WAS STILL
INTACT. IN THE HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM, WE BOTH, SIMULTANEOUSLY,
FELT YOUR PRESENCE, AND ECSTATICALLY LAUGHED, TO THE DISMAY OF
THE DOCTORS AND NURSES. FOR SEVEN WEEKS I WAS FLAT ON MY BACK,
AND MY HEART FLOWERED AS NEVER BEFORE. THE SPINE WAS FRACTURED
IN TWO PLACES, AND THIS WHOLE YEAR I HAVE BEEN LAZY -- DOING ART,
PORTRAITS OF YOU, AND A NOVEL DEPICTING MY EXPERIENCES WITH YOU.
BELOVED MASTER, I AM SO GRATEFUL TO FIND I CAN LET GO WHEN DEATH
KNOCKS ON MY DOOR, AND I FEEL SO FORTUNATE TO LOOK INTO YOUR EYES
ONCE MORE. THANK YOU. WOULD YOU LIKE TO COMMENT ON MY
EXPERIENCE? WAS IT REALLY YOU WHO CAME TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM,
OR JUST OUR LET-GO TO EXISTENCE AND LIFE?
Atmo Shahid, my whole work -- day in, day out -- is going from one emergency room to
another emergency room. I don't have any other work. I have so many people in the world, and
they are so expert in creating emergencies, that I am running like crazy. Why do you think I
have told you now to drop the mala and orange clothes? Because it is getting too much! --
running, without any rest....
Question 4
BELOVED OSHO,
AT THE MOMENT, MY LIFE SEEMS TO BE AN ENDLESS DIVE INTO DEEP,
DARK VALLEYS OF GREED, JEALOUSY, SELF-CONDEMNATION; DEEP PAIN, AND
FEELING VERY LOST. COMING OUT OF THESE VALLEYS, I FEEL REFRESHED,
MORE CLEAR -- LIKE AFTER A THUNDERSTORM IN HOT SUMMER. BUT THE
NEXT VALLEY FOLLOWS SOON AFTERWARDS. ARE THESE DARK VALLEYS A
SORT OF CLEANING, AND HAS THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN?
