A Monk and His Ferrari

Indulgence seldom seems a disease, Cravings and fear to lose always is. A monk need notso rid Save cleavings, good old greed, Enjoy all blessings as heaven’s bliss. _____________________________________________________ Once Osho was asked about his fleet of Rolls Royce sedans he possessed. Why would a spiritual being like him need such material luxuries? He posed: if you have an expensive car such as this and someone carelessly damaged it. How would you feel? The response was: One would feel upset and agitated. Osho: Therein dwells the difference. Even if I were to wake up tomorrow to find that the entire fleet is missing, it would not matter one bit to me. Indulgence is no disease, attachment is. _____________________________________________________ Reflections | 07.07.15 |

Well, I would say I could disagree about this in that a fleet of expensive cars is in excess and there would be no need for a single person to have that many. Enjoyed reading the work. Congrats on your win. Sara

Sure, you have a point here. The point here is: enjoy thongs as nature's blessings, don't get attached to them. 'Congrats on your win', you say, but I don't know what I won. Last, sorry for responding so late.
