Listen Bhajans
1. Coconut and Fear:
Those meditation camps were intense. You start early morning and finish the last meditation late at night. You are not talking and there is no other life. I had a deep unique experience during one of those meditation routines. It was intense and …difficult to describe. I became afraid and could not get to the levels that I could have gone. I described the incidence to Osho. He gave me a coconut and said, “leave your fear here with me and take this coconut.” I never had that fear since.
2. Silent Communication:
I had been reading Osho’s book on Bhagavad Gita. The issue was, “How did Krishna tell 700 verses to Arjun in the middle of the Mahabharata war.” How is it possible? The bugle has been sounded. Warriors were ready to go. What were all the others doing when Krishna and Arjun were going through 700 shlokas (verses). Osho was trying to explain that. His view was that whole gita conversation happened on a different level. Arjun was looking at Krishna, doubts arose, responses came and all this happened as silent conversation. Sanjay is the reason we have details (700 shlokas) of what happened between Arjun and Krishna.
Do you buy this? I had doubts too. I went to see Osho the next day. I had many questions and many doubts. I was going to ask all the questions and was curious to see how he answers them. I was in medical school and thought I had a brain too. I go and sit in front of Osho and look in his eyes. Any one who met him knows that he had penetrating eyes. You could feel his total presence by just looking at him. Magic happened. All my questions and doubts were answered in almost no time. Not a word was spoken. Everything and every communication happened in total silence.
I will suggest you not to believe me; just wait for this to happen to you one day and you will treasure it forever. Having said that, silent communications of some sort are part of our lives. A son or daughter knows what mom or dad are thinking by the look on their faces.

Born in Kuchwada, Madhya Pradesh, India on December 11, 1931, Osho says of his parents, "I had chosen this couple for their love, their intimacy, their almost one-ness." Growing in an atmosphere of tremendous love, freedom and respect, Osho was an intuitive and adventurous child with the knack of penetrating to the very heart of a situation
