Pranjal,
The question always is, from where did we come & where are we going & what is the purpose of this life?As long as such questions didn’t come to a person, he can lead an ordinary life, eat, sleep, procreate, earn money…money, fall sick & die.

The same thing happens to a spiritual person( who spends sometime for his body, mind, emotions & energy)but there is a lot of difference between the two.One doing everything unconsciously & the other doing a little more conscious according to his development in his awareness due to certain sadhanas he does.

A guru is needed for a person who wants to lead a spiritual life, as he guides us to that unknown dimension.

Yes, I too have heard wrong things about Osho.Once you read his books, you will change your views about him.His books are treasures.They are very very inspiring to spiritual people.

Finally, don’t you feel that this life without knowing the self is a futile one?

Was Osho not some pervert preacher? I've heard a lot that he was one pervert who told people to leave their families, live among strangers and have a lot of sex. I mean That is so irresponsible even by my standards :P First Thing I’m Ignorant and mortal- so please pardon any disrespect/blasphemy that i might make in my comment.

If you are doing this meditation from Osho's meditation book,Follow the step one in Vibhasana Meditation, that is a very simpler form. If u r simply doing without any guidance,take a right guru.Read osho Rajneesh meditation book for guidance. @ chetan:
