We would not have known anything of Socrates if Plato had not written notes, nor of Buddha, nor Bodhidharma. Jesus too is known through his disciples notes.

There is not a single case known where an enlightened person has written anything himself.

The bit about loosing your motivation is a bit worrying to a business owner. I wonder what Leo thinks about that? @Leo Gura

Well... there is that Autobiography of a Yogi, and those speeches by Krishnamurti. Surely Osho's blog was written by a ghost writer, and the Pythagorean Therome was only named after Pythagoras in spirit.

Enlightened people can't write?

@Neo I have in the past covered the issue of losing motivation after stopping moralization.

Deeper sources of motivation must be found.

Of course ego has a lot of unhealthy motivations that need to be purified. That's a big chunk of this work.

Words of Osho and Krishanmurti are communion between them and their disciples. They have not written anything.

"Once a great mystic, Eckehart, was asked, 'Why don’t you write your biography? Your autobiography will be very, very helpful to people.'

"He said, 'Difficult, impossible – because if I write my autobiography it will be the autobiography of the whole, because everything is related. And that will be too much…and how can one write the autobiography of the whole?'

"That’s why those who have known have always resisted; they have never written autobiographies – except this man Paramahansa Yogananda, who has written An Autobiography of a Yogi. He is not a yogi at all. Otherwise a yogi cannot write the autobiography – it is impossible, simply impossible, because when somebody has attained to nirvichara samadhi then he is a yogi, and then, the sheer vastness…. Now he has become all. If you really want to write the autobiography, it will be the autobiography of the whole from the beginning – and there is no beginning; to the end – and there is no end.

Yogananda has done something which is not possible. He has done something which a politician can do, but not a yogi.
