Jivanjili: stepping stones

On the spiritual journey there are several stepping stones, events like the beads on a mala which marks important points on this journey.

As the Buddha said: the way is found by travelling. You never know where it will lead to, but really you feel you have no choice then to go. It is this chain of events who will lead you step by step, guided by this infinite intelligent existence, to fulfillment of your ultimate potential.

Jivanjili’s stepping stones is an illuminating example of such a spiritual journey and the challenges you will encounter on it.

Jivanjili: There really is nothing to do

Existence had a tough job creating the possibility for Jivanjili and me to meet at the airport in Mumbai (then Bombay) India. Because Jivanjili went at the last moment with a taxi and I went 4 hours before with a bus. So two buses broke down, I was two times arrested, the last time at the airport and guarded by a soldier with a big gun. When I was released I walked into Jivanjili, who also came from Osho and that was the start of a long friendship and working together on many projects as we still do.

What I love about Jivanjili's story is the playfulness and the insights that are revealed to us when we are in a playful mood. Osho said many times: "Don't be serious, be sincere. Seriousness is a severe illness".
