A Documented Summary of the Crimes and Deceptions of Ma Anand Sheela (aka Sheela Silverman/Sheela Birnstiel)

 
Shortly after Sheela fled the US in 1985, Osho was told of Sheela’s crimes. He immediately reported them and invited the U.S. government to investigate and prosecute those crimes.

The Oregon State Police Report of May 27, 1986, states:

“We are on the deathbed. Humanity cannot survive – the way it has been behaving with nature – for more than fifty years, sixty years, or, at the most, one hundred years, which is nothing. If the Third World War does not happen, then we will be committing a slow suicide. Within a hundred years, we will be gone. Not even a trace will be left.”1 Osho

Osho,
What is life? Is nature still moving anywhere? Or is this the end of the journey?

Life is a preparation. And the preparation continues every moment. You may or may not be aware of it, but you are moving towards a very great festival.

Osho,
What is the evolution of a seeker?

“A seeker is a man who has taken the reins into his own hands; a seeker is the child who says to the father, ‘This is more than enough. I am grateful to you, I am much obliged to you, but now I will stand on my own two feet.’ The moment you tell nature you want to stand by yourself you become a young man of maturity. At that moment maturity comes to you for the first time.

Osho,
Is nature interested in supporting enlightenment? Will it at least help?

Man cannot leave it to nature, because man has become conscious.

“You cannot leave it to nature now. That’s why man has created religions. No animal has any religion. There is no need: they are not asking, they are not in a hurry. In nature everything is unhurried – moving so slowly as if not moving at all; continuously repeating the same pattern, infinitely repeating the same circle.

Osho,
Can you talk about the evolution of consciousness, and how it impacts our world today? 

Evolution is unconscious. No volition is needed, no conscious effort. It is just natural. But once consciousness evolves, then it is a totally different matter. Once consciousness is there, evolution stops.

Osho,
Why have human beings seemed to have stopped evolving, and instead are often bored and even suicidal?

Boredom and suicide are both human. No animal can commit suicide, no tree can commit suicide.
Why has this happened? What is the reason behind it?

“Has man forgotten completely how to live, how to celebrate, how to be festive? While the whole existence is festive, how has man retreated out of it and created a sad milieu around him?

The politician protects the priest, the priest blesses the politician – and the masses are exploited, sucked; their blood is sucked by both.”1 Osho
