Dear Osho – and other spiritual gurus,
It’s very easy to feel you are “enlightened” and make people believe it, when you have numerous fans and followers and you are doing well financially. But honestly, it’s always precarious.
You may be free of attachment in your head, but your soul still craves human attachment. If the day comes when you lose all worldly recognition and no one knows you exist, that will be the day you will experience all the unavoidable suffering just like any ordinary human being. Or even worse, since you will then be bereft of your spiritual edifice.
I hope you are already aware of this. Because I would rather like to believe you are intelligent and smart, and just playing the world, than to think you are deluded.
Sincerely,
Your ex-follower

*Spiritual enlightenment: Attainment of everlasting bliss. A final blessed state marked by the absence of desire or suffering.
I have written it in present tense for it sounded more effective to me. I know Osho is dead, but there are many others alive.
