Will the processes and experiences of a person be useful to others if documented?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"A realized person's experiences are only useful to others when they are transformed into guidance that speaks to their present illusions, for the enlightened see both the problem and the solution as mere illusions."
According to Osho, a realized person's documented experiences are of limited, provisional use: they help seekers only when translated into guidance relevant to their present illusions. The enlightened one won't center his biography because, from his view, both the problem and the technique were illusory; instead he offers skillful means tailored to the seeker, not self-history.
Share what helps the learner now, not your old story, because those past problems and fixes were like dreams.
