My Other site

I have been spending more time in working on my site. It also happens to have blog feature so it is becoming a of neglegance on my part to maintain this blog.

Well soon enough I think I will be able to add something, or at least decide what I want to write here. Something maybe different then my main site.

For the time being, here is something from Osho, for you to read.

--
THE PSYCHOLOGY OF CONDEMNATION is cheap psychology, an easy way out. Your "genius" will be proven by it. And there is no cost.... There is no cost at all. There is no need to go anywhere to learn. There is no need for satsang. This is why EVERYONE IS SKILLFUL AT CONDEMNING.
    
You find people everywhere enjoying the mood of condemnation. Who knows, why did those who numbered the nine rasas, the nine dramatic moods, leave out the mood of condemnation? All the other moods come only now and again, THE MOOD OF CONDEMNATION COMES TO PEOPLE EVERY DAY, FROM MORNING TILL NIGHT. You read the newspaper to enjoy the feeling of condemnation. When someone is being condemned, you immediately cock your ears and start listening. If someone comes and says that the neighbor's woman has eloped with someone, how attentive you become! Your attention is so focused in that moment that you forget all matters of the world. You start digging, asking, "Say something more, tell what happened next. Elaborate a little, don't make it so brief. Where were they eloping to, tell the whole story before you go. Sit down and have some tea." You roll out the red carpet.

WHEREVER YOU NOTICE CONDEMNATION HAPPENING YOU ENJOY. You enjoy because another person is being made small and in his becoming smaller you inwardly experience that, "I am bigger." This is why if a beggar slips and falls on a banana peel on the street there is not so much enjoyment as when an emperor slips and falls on a banana peel. The heart becomes happy....
    If some emperor slips and falls, how happy the mind becomes. When you hear the news that the prime minister or the president has been caught doing some illegal activity, how the joy of condemnation spreads. What's the point? Why should anyone be concerned with it? If the prime minister has fallen in love with some woman, enough! --as if a very rare incident has occurred. So much interest spreads, people become so eager. This tells only one thing about what is inside you, indicates only one thing, that YOU WERE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET CAUGHT, to fall somewhere, for a foot to slip on a banana peel, for him to fall flat. This was your heart's desire.
This is why people become eager and excited to remove someone from power when he has been in office for four or five years. It is too long, this man must fall. THEN TRIVIAL THINGS ARE BLOWN OUT OF PROPORTION AND SPREAD AROUND. And people are ready to believe them.

Have you noticed something strange, IF YOU PRAISE SOMEONE NO ONE IS READY TO LISTEN, NO ONE IS READY TO ACCEPT IT. If you say, "Look at such and such person. He has become a great being." They will say, "We have seen all these great souls, these mahatmas! There is no great soul, nor has there ever been. It's all deception. Some trick is happening. Just wait, stop a little, when he is caught you will know. We have seen many falling."

But if someone says to you that such and such person is stealing, such and such person is deceiving, such and such person has taken a bribe you will never deny it saying, "No-no, how could it be?" You will immediately agree, as if you had already known it. WE HAVE ACCEPTED THAT EXCEPT OURSELVES, PEOPLE ARE ALL BAD. Some have been found out; others have not been found out and will be sometime. But except for us, all people are bad. This is our preconceived belief. Whatever supports our preconceived belief, we agree with immediately....

IT IS CONDEMNATION THAT INFLATES YOUR EGO. This is why people praise very reluctantly -- they do it very unwillingly, as if compelled. They do it when there is something to get by praising. This is why superficially they praise, but beneath they are taking revenge....
 
In the world whenever someone's downfall happens, people share great comfort, much lightness comes. PEOPLE ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE'S CHARACTER TO BE CORRUPTED. They are greatly supporting it.

To create character is very difficult. To bring dignity to one's life is difficult, to bring greatness is difficult. BUT IF YOU WANT TO TAKE AWAY SOMEONE'S GREATNESS, IT IS EASY TO SPREAD AND INFLATE RUMORS ABOUT HIM. The more you talk badly of him the more you feel good inside. This is the psychology of condemnation -- it is the shadow of ego and the nourishment of ego also.
