Osho came as the most beautiful blessing into my life in 2012. One of my friends, Mukul introduced me to Osho. Thank you Mukul. I was so happy to have found Osho. I started listening to him, practicing his meditation techniques, especially active meditations. I got to know about Osho Nisarga through Google. Thanks to Google. I came here and felt this place is no less than paradise. Oh My God! I felt home here.
I feel so grateful to Osho, Priya, Ma Neelam and Sw.Tathagat for giving me this opportunity to stay here. I still remember the incident when Priya told me to come for work meditation program which I had been wanting to be part of since the day I came to Osho Nisarga for the first time. Staying in Nisarga has been very nourishing. Everyday a new challenge, a new lesson, a new insight learning from mistakes laughing, singing, dancing, crying and what not. And last but not the least, the yummy food in Nisarga. To be honest, food was also one of the reasons behind my urge to be here. Osho has enriched my life in every possible way which is difficult to put into words. Thank you Osho. That’s all I have to say. But I would definitely like to share my learning in Nisarga.
I used to think that I cannot do anything but music. And this aversion towards any profession other than music was very strong. After having been working in Nisarga for around past 10 months, I have realized that the days when I am really busy and involved in work, I feel so alive by the end of the day. Now I see a flexibility and understanding growing in me that “How I do things” matters more than “What I do” Anything can be enjoyed, even typing on the keyboard, which I do every day. Anything.
Things what I have learnt from my beloved Master, I could really practice them in this beautiful space. Everybody here is so supportive and loving. Being in the presence of Ma Neelam, I could see Osho completely dissolved in her being. I couldn’t be with Osho when he was in Body since I was born late but this Existence is so compassionate that brought me to be in Ma Neelam’s presence.
Another most important part of this journey in Nisarga was “Enneagram” which Priya introduced us all to. With the understanding of Enneagram, I could see my patterns clearly. All of us really got into it helping each other in every possible way to look at how mechanically we function. Thanks to Priya and the founders of Enneagram. Earlier I used to be very judgmental, why this person is like this or that. Now I see a very beautiful dimension arising in my being i.e. acceptance. I know now it’s no one’s fault why we behave in a certain way. We have been brought up and exposed to such circumstances that we developed this personality or mechanism. All of us who are on this path are trying our best to know ourselves. That’s all we can do. I feel very compassionate towards people now. If someone says anything to me, it’s not at all personal, it’s just that the person is suffering and needs love, not hatred or condemnation.
Thank you Osho. I have listened to you saying this again and again and living in Nisarga, this insight really went deep inside me. I have so many things to write. My whole being is so grateful to Osho Nisarga and Existence.
Now I take full responsibility for my inner states. I have learnt not to blame anybody anymore for my inner state which was very strong pattern of mine and due to which I messed up my relations. In these past 10 months I became more aware of my emotions. Without any reason, one moment I will feel so sad and other moment I will feel happy and I could see that these states come and go on their own. And I feel compassionate towards myself when I am sad. I accept it and stay with it and it just goes. Wow. Such a freedom it is. Now I am not scared to face the pain, it has its own depth and I don’t fight it. Whenever I feel any kind of pain, Osho’s words come to my mind. “Use pain as an opportunity to prepare for Death”. In the end, I would like to thank everybody, this whole existence.
Being in Nisarga for the first time in my life I could feel so close to the nature. I was born and brought up in the Himalayas but could never feel their presence. Osho gave my eyes. Really, I have learnt a lot from these trees, mountains, and this beautiful river containing big rocks which look so relaxed. I feel oneness with the stillness of these trees and mountains. How still they are! So centered, so rooted in their being. Being with is being at ease with myself, as Osho says: Be Still and Know.
