This is an expression of a visiting businessman who stayed here for three days. He spent the time with himself, enjoying his aloneness and the serene surroundings of the meditation resort. An authentic life changing experience !
" This is about my personal experience during a 3-day visit to Osho International meditation Resort, Pune between June7-9, that changed my life forever!"
Day 1:
My first day at Osho International Meditation Resort was good. The best activity was the silent sitting. All through the day, I was with myself only. I could see people jumping, dancing and shaking themselves....as if they are kids, behaving and dancing mysteriously. For the first time ever, I actually jumped like a kid, as if no one else was watching. The best thing is that you can sit, or lie down or just don't participate in the activity, it’s completely up to you.
Later at night, there was Sannyas ceremony. Anyone could take Sanyaas. For Osho, Sanyaas is the starting of the inward journey. And I am so sure that my inward journey has begun. So I took the Sanyaas. When we think of Sanyaas, first thing that comes to our mind is leaving our normal life. But for Osho, Sanyaas is more about an inward journey. For osho, one can lead a normal life and can become a Sanyaasi at the same time.
The best part is that for the most of the time, I'm with myself only. I have not been talking much about anything. Lost in myself. Not talking to anyone on phone or sms. Even writing diary seemed a burdon but now when I am writing this, I am feeling better. I have truly indulge myself in myself. It's not that I don’t talk to myself, but the difference is that now I am talking to myself only, exclusively.
Day 2:
I am lost in myself.
I have become so calm. Don’t feel like uttering a word. Love silence. 'Silent sitting' sessions are amazing. I am loving everything, enjoying everything. Simple chapatti (Tortilla) was never so tasty, working out in the guesthouse is so pleasing, taking shower is good, even the simplest of the routine tasks have become so enjoyable. Amazing!
There's very thin line between Meditation and sleep. While meditating, I try my best to cut off myself from the outer world. I avoid thinking about anything. And while doing this, I feel as if I have gone off to sleep. This not actually sleep, this is Meditation. (Life is changing, changing for good.)
Meditation for me, is not concentration, it’s the ability to not to concentrate on anything. Cutting down all the connections from the outer world. I myself become an individual and part of the outer world. Going into zero. Its not being unconscious, it doesn't mean sleep. One has to experience it to actually understand this.
I’m falling in love with everything. ...tea, candy, books, rain, people, trees, water, sleep, table, Pune....Problems are not problems anymore.
Day 3:
I don't feel like going back home. I have already explored so many ways to settle down here permanently. Where have my dreams of being at top disappeared? The only target I am left with is my own spiritual growth. I owe Osho.
I had come here so that I could refresh my mind as I have to work hard in coming months on our new project. I wanted to make my business so organized that it runs smoothly even when I am away for a few hours or days, but now priority has changed. I have to organize my all business operations in such a way that it runs smoothly even when I am away for months or years or for rest of my life.
Had money been not necessary to be here at the Osho International Meditation Resort, Pune, I would probably have thought to settle here for a longer period, maybe indefinitely.
I am afraid of going back to my routine life. The moment I land there in New Delhi, I will have a long list of pending tasks. Purpose of the meditation can only be achieved if I stay relaxed and untouched by unnecessary emotions while staying in my routine normal life instead of permanently leaving home and getting settled here.
But yes, if I have learned enough that I can help others too to change their lives, I should settle here in Osho International Meditation Resort, Pune.
The real challenge would be to stay in routine life and keep myself as calm and happy as I am here in Osho International Meditation Resort, Pune. I am excited to see myself coping with the routine stress without getting affected. Wow! What a state I am in that I can be happy anywhere and in anything I am doing. O dear Life! Keep challenging me, I am here to stay happy and unharmed by your miseries because problems are not problems anymore.
Every time I get an answer to some very important question, that answer comes up with another question. And that new question makes the previous question so unimportant. Now I am sure that when I will get answer to this new and more important question, it will come with another question that will make that new question meaningless. I am up for this. I am ready to start this journey of looking for answers that comes with new questions attached.
I was confused which lifestyle is better: a spendthrift’s lifestyle or my simple lifestyle. Now when I got an answer, it's asking me again: my current stressful lifestyle or this new spiritual lifestyle?
After coming back to my hometown
Since I have come back from Pune, I have been talking less and in a lower tone. I look like I am lost. I always used to wish I were more than one Sachin, one would have been handling marketing, one taking care of accounts, one is busy purchasing...and so on. But I was only one. Now I realise that I was never one. I always was so many Sachins: thinking and doing so many things at a time. It's only now that I have become one, being with myself, present and working at one place at a time. I thought being more than one is a bliss but now I realised its a curse. All other Sachins in me are dead now. I used to think I was everywhere but now I realise that I was nowhere. Now I just want to be now here, with myself.
I look feeble, but the thing is that I am not concentrating on anything around. I am kinda preserving energy. When I talk loud, I feel so bad and tired as if the whole energy has been taken out.
If you haven’t been there, you are everywhere; and once you are there, you are with yourself only.
Wisdom is not knowing everything, its knowing that you don't know anything. I had gone to Osho Pune to fill my mind with knowledge and came back with empty mind. Osho ashram visit didn’t kill my passion and desires, its actually helping me to look at life with a different perspective without letting go of all the materialistic desires.
I owe Osho!
Spiritually yours,
