Wild Wild Country, the latest Netflix documentary sensation to hit Americans’ TV screens, opens with an eerie shot of a rural village in Oregon. It’s the 1980s, and we learn that the town has a population of 50 — that is, until a cult arrives and buys a 60,000-acre ranch they grow into a bustling metropolis of followers.

എല്ലാംതന്നെ കേവലം സംഭവിച്ചുകൊണ്ടിരിക്കുകയാണെങ്കിൽ, അപ്പോൾ അതിനെല്ലാം എന്തെങ്കിലും പരമമായ ലക്ഷ്യമുണ്ടെന്ന് പറയാൻ കഴിയുമോ? അതോ ജീവിതം ഒരു യാദൃശ്ചികത മാത്രമാണോ? ജീവിതം ഏതോ പരമമായ ലക്ഷ്യത്തിലേക്ക് പരിണമിച്ചുകൊണ്ടിരിക്കുകയാണെന്ന് പറയാൻ കഴിയുമോ? – ജീവിതത്തിൽ തനിക്കഭിമുഖീകരിക്കേണ്ടിവരുന്ന കാര്യങ്ങളെല്ലാംതന്നെ തന്റെ ഭൂതകാലജീവിതത്തിലെ പ്രവൃത്തികളുടെ ഫലമാണ്. അത് സുഖത്തിലായാലും ശരി, ദുഃഖത്തിലായാലും ശരി, അയാൾക്ക് ഒന്നുംതന്നെ ചെയ്യാൻ കഴിയില്ല. എല്ലാത്തരത്തിലുള്ള സൗഭാഗ്യങ്ങളും ദൗർഭാഗ്യത്തിന്റെ ഒരു കലവറയല്ലാതെ മറ്റൊന്നുമല്ല. ഓരോ കൂടിച്ചേരലും വേർപാടിലേക്ക് നയിക്കും.

In the first part of this article, “Your Civilization Is Collapsing – And You Still Won’t Listen to Osho! Mmmm?” – we explored how the Osho lens clarifies the root causes of the catastrophic direction our species is taking. As he points out, the impact of today’s systemic cycle of misinformation – and the insidious perpetuation of violence by the current power structures – cannot be remedied by the very structures that created it.
Osho also explains the fundamental misunderstanding that has led to these disastrous turns of events for this species:

If you are familiar with Osho’s way of seeing how humanity manages to lurch from one catastrophe to another, nothing happening today will surprise you. 
If not, you might be baffled by the madness you notice around you. 
Osho is not the most published non-fiction author in history for no reason! So, given the lack of a coherent understanding of what is going on from anyone, anywhere, it might be worth listening to his insights on the causes of the current catastrophes.

I have suffered quite a lot in my life, mostly from mental health issues.

Osho,
I feel so unworthy of love. This makes me keep my door closed and nothing can come in. My heart is suffering but it seems I have forgotten where the door is. Could you please comment?
“It is one of the crimes that has been committed against everybody everywhere in human society: you have been continually conditioned and told that you are unworthy.

Osho,
You have said that most of humanity is vegetating, not living. Please explain.
“Man is born to achieve life, but it all depends on him.
“He can miss it. He can go on breathing, he can go on eating, he can go on growing old, he can go on moving towards the grave – but this is not life. This is gradual death from the cradle to the grave, a seventy-year-long gradual death.

Osho,
How come you speak about political leaders and religious leaders in the same tone — is there no difference between them?Continue reading on Medium »

Osho,
How come you speak about political leaders and religious leaders in the same tone – is there no difference between them?
“Fundamentally there is no difference at all. Superficially of course there are differences.
