Ask Osho!

Did Ramakrishna give Vivekananda a glimpse of samadhi to alleviate his future suffering during his journey of sadhana?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"Truth arises from direct experience, not from comforting stories about what could have been. Embrace the unknown rather than filling it with speculation."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, questions like whether Ramakrishna gave Vivekananda a samadhi glimpse to ease future suffering are mere 'it-could-be-so' speculations. Drop hypotheticals; inquire only into what is directly known. If you don’t know, admit not-knowing rather than patching it with stories. Truth comes from immediate awareness and experience, not comforting explanations about the past.
Don’t make up stories about saints; if you don’t know, say so, and look for truth in your own direct experience now.
Why this matters practically
- Saves time and energy by avoiding unprovable narratives.
- Builds honesty and clarity by embracing “I don’t know.”
- Refocuses you on present-moment awareness and practice.
