Now-a-days I’m reading a lot of Osho and J Krishnamurti books. The underlying thought is quite same in both philosophers, but the way they express it is very different. To be aware, be awakened towards the self and everything around is the central teaching of both philosophers. J Krishnamurti is very logical and rational in approach. It doesn’t mean that Osho isn’t logical. He’s logical too, but has a mystical sense too which J Krishnamurti lacks. The teachings of ‘K’ are in very rational language as if he is teaching physics, very point-to-point. But it’s useful only for the person who is already eager to experiment in order to realize the truth. Krishnamurti cannot make a person interested in the truth; he cannot awake the urge of truth in anyone. On the other hand, Osho has this advantage. He has a unique style which can make one interested in the experimentation for truth.Apart from this comparison, there is more important thing which I’m concerned about. And it is my inability to practice the constant awareness. I’ve tried it several times and failed too. But when the hell am I going to be ‘aware’ even for the five minutes. It’s a sort of constant meditation. Here I’m not able to meditate even for a little time and trying to be aware 24x7. Is it possible at all? I think it is very possible but I’m not trying hard enough. I think I should be more honest to myself and more persistent in my endeavor.
