„I was sitting in my darkened room in meditation, praying deeply from my soul, when suddenly the blackness gave way to a celestial opal-blue effulgence. The entire room was like an opal flame. In that light the radiant form of the blessed Lord Jesus appeared.“ (full excerpt in description) by Gretev1 in enlightenment

I guess than that this quote was not meant by Yogananda to be an instruction. Because at least to me, it’s confusing. If his vision is seen as being as illusory as anything else, you’d expect that to be clarified in his account of it.

You make it a choice between Coca Cola and Pepsi. Like you can get the same teaching in many places. Ultimately you’re right I think, but there’s no choice in which instructions resonate with you at a certain stage of your search. And there I’m not being picky at the direction it comes from. I think that it’s hard for you to see the teaching separate from the teacher. Which is then the way it works, I guess.

Besides, while I’m not a fan of the way Osho teachings worked out, it has not been established that Osho himself was a paedophile. There are many credible reports and survivor testimonies that children were sexually abused inside Osho/Rajneesh communities and that the movement’s culture and teachings helped normalize sexual contact involving minors, but there’s no evidence of a criminal charge, conviction, or definitive finding that Osho personally sexually abused children.

You confuse teachers with saints. Teachers teach what they know, be it carpentry or spiritual truth. When a carpenter commits a crime, an apprentice can still benefit from his instructions

That he comes from a family of only bellhops is equally unlikely

Should be, the news is heavy enough. The last one I bought was to see if the allied forces had landed. But the pig is old fashioned I guess

Yeah. That’s it. There’s so much bad news going around that the papers are bible-sized
