What is rasavanti and what does it mean when ras is being lost excessively?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Do not let concepts cloud your understanding; return to the essence and listen with fresh ears."
According to Osho, he never spoke here of 'use' or of 'ras,' so the question about rasavanti or excessive loss of ras misquotes him. He emphasizes not to project concepts onto his words; return to the original statement and listen freshly. Any doctrine about ras or its depletion is not his teaching in this passage.
He didn’t talk about ras here; don’t add ideas he didn’t say.
Why this matters practically
- Avoids misquoting and confusion; keeps inquiry accurate.
- Encourages going back to the source instead of assuming meanings.
- Protects clarity of practice by not following teachings he didn’t give.
