OSHO preach about GOD that he does not exist.In one of his session he said if people belive that God created world then what do we call 'EVOLUTION' .I am wondring nobody ever told him that GOD is not a person ,God is FAITH.He always gives examples from western culture but dont you all agree that christans are the most superstitious people in this world.They are not practicle at all.Gautam budh also said about 'ASTHA' in other sence it is a name of god because we belive in it.
I do not agree with his dipiction because hez just explaning every thing from an angle which makes no sence to me.....
I guess he is pretty much right when he said, GOD dint create any of us, and even if he says GOD does not exist, I do not find anything wrong in that. the moment you call GOD as FAITH, its a individualist choice, its confident belief in the trustworthiness of a person, idea or anything. collectively it was used to put fear of god in people, to keep their morality in check. So far, so god, but when people start relying on this idea, or using it for their own means, or forcing on other people to share it, it goes gray, useless and harmful sometimes. On Christians being more superstitious then us, may be, but this statement coming from a place where honor killings are defended relentlessly, people are killed on name of faith, brides are burnt, here talking pre-martial sex gets you 22 law-suits against you and wife's are raped on wedding nights, I think its better we don't compare ourselves with western countries.
On TOPIC, Osho is one of the very rare people, i wanted to meet, test and learn. his opinions on the marriage, are most controversial and anti-social, and which makes them worth discussion.
Osho calls marriage the ‘coffin of love'. He says: "They all say that love is eternal, never dies. Absolutely wrong. Real love dies sooner than unreal love. Unreal love can live long; it is unreal, how can it die? If you are pretending, you can pretend as long as you want to."
"Love needs only one thing, and that is courage. Courage to die into the other, to drop your own identity, your ego. Millions have decided not to love, but then life is misery, life is hell."
"If one really wants to live, one must be ready for insecurity, and love brings the greatest insecurity in the world because love cannot promise tomorrow. Love is of the moment, for the moment, in the moment. Love can only speak for this moment, not for the next; the next remains open, vulnerable, insecure." "Love may be, may not be. Love has no guarantee whatsoever. Which is why people choose marriage over love. Marriage is secure and safe, guaranteed by the law and the government and the society and the church-something they can depend upon. But in that very choice they commit suicide for they will never really live."
"Life itself is insecure. Life knows nothing of security. Death is very secure, so those who are cowardly choose death instead of life. They choose the false and the plastic instead of the real. And those who are courageous, they choose the real. They go with it, wherever it may lead. They surrender to it. They are ready to go into the uncharted and the unknown and the unseen."
As fascinating i find his thinking, i find it true too, I think people in this world are very different, very unique, too unique too follow same path, same pattern, same morality, same teachings, same guru, from birth to death. I don't think OSHO tells you to follow/love/like/learn/test him, he is just one individualistic walking tall, talking loud of what he thinks.
