@Dan Arnautu Who is there to die? who is born at all? Kill the ignorance that hides like a wall! From your damn body, who is there to leave? Firstly, none entered; There's no point to grieve! Don't trust anyone who has a long beard! Don't trust the theories which sound very weird! Don't trust those who do business with the one, The screen called truth where all the objects run. -

Don't know what happened now... I saw that post twice. But when I refreshed, the duplicate post disappeared. -

Is this a dejavu ? ... This has happened before in another thread and the link to that thread is already in this thread. -

The story is just imaginary. @Dan Arnautu Ramakrishna was actually in throat cancer and stopped eating 7 days before his death, not before 3 days. And the reason he stopped eating was because he couldn't eat at all because of cancer in throat. Sadhguru's content is mostly from Osho. I have written about it here: https://nellaishanmugam.wordpress.com/2017/02/07/sadhguru-on-osho-the-two-diamonds-to-discover-your-inner-self/ -

Shanmugam replied to charlie cho's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@jimmy4christ There is something called 'projecting non-duality into duality' - trying to judge the intentions of any realized person from a dualistic point of view.But until realization, that is the only point of view that people can have. I see Osho as something that which was never born and never died; not as a form and a concept of personality that is associated with that form. All these things are trivial to me, Second, what makes you think that after realization all kinds of self-serving bias completely disappears? The thinking of a human being is prone to be biased and that is natural for any human being. All realized people retain a tiny bit of ignorance in order to function in this world. It is called as Avidyalesha. Both Ramana Maharshi and Ramakrishna Paramhamsa have talked about this remnants of ego. But there is no self-identification, no self-consciousness and no trace of separation. There is not even a consistent personal story or self-concept. So, whatever ego that a realized person is seen to have is a consciously created and maintained one. It is a tool but it has limitations. Ego by its very nature defensive and is prone to cause biased thinking; but ego is a product of natural evolution which is necessary for social function. What I basically see here is a mask arguing with another mask in defense of a different mask. But Osho is actually behind all these masks. So, stop giving your energy on such trivial issues. The intention of my blog is to give a totally unbiased account and also to bridge science and spirituality. -

Hi Jimmy, Thanks for your reply.. I went through everything quickly and I don't think there is anything that I would disagree.. But anyway, I am not carrying any of this in my head now. Whatever I wrote on that post came as a flow when I wrote it many months before. I never gave a thought about these examples after that. It seems like you are trying to change an apparent opinion of mine about Osho; but to tell you the truth, I don't have any opinion about Osho, because I don't see a separate personality or self in him. -
