Question

Hello, thank you very much for your reply aboutmy inquiry about posture(hands).

You’ve helped me a lot. I just have one more question that is

bugging me, it might be silly but it really wont give me peace.


One indian mystic, Osho, (supppousedly enligthenment) although i dont know

what path he used, said that enlightenment is possible only at night time,

because of certain energies and what not, i dont really rememebr why but he

said it is possible at night time. I personally doubt it, but i dont really know, so i ask you, is it really so ?



Thank you

Answer from Master Kosen

No of course. What is enlightment anyway ? Everything in the world is enlightened, birds flying freely, colors of autumn, fish in the deep oceans, children playing, fresh rivers and warm rain, even ourselves if we would stop to chain ourselves in all our opinions, our rejects, our attachements and realise that we are free and full of happiness.

Always people have the tendency to want to believe that enlightment is something very special, but if you see it, you see that your whole life is enlightned.
Do not trust these stupidities from Osho, please.
