IвЂ™ve been in Bombay since 2015, I was there and I was learning music initially, I was producing my own music and working with my band. How have you been managing your time during the quarantine? We are in conversation with Osho Jain, letвЂ™s know more about his journey and challenges. He incorporates a lot of Hindi/ Urdu literature and socially relevant topics in his songs as well. He expresses vulnerability and his journey through music. Hailing from Indore, he is currently based in Mumbai. It does not matter to me at all.He is an Indian singer, songwriter, performer, and music composer/producer. The whole world is there and I donвЂ™t need much, just a tree to sit underneath.

Has he deceived me again?вЂ™ I have no difficulty but so as not to be uncompassionate towards you, I will not come.

Seeing your tears and you touching my feet I have no difficulty, I can come back, but you will still start thinking, `My God. He touched his feet and he said, вЂњForgive me even to think this. The king felt very sad at his ugly mind, that he thought such an ugly thing. My awareness is the same whether I am in a palace or in a forest.вЂќ I was as happy under my tree as I have been happy in your palace - not a bit more or a bit less. I donвЂ™t have any palace, I donвЂ™t have any wife, I donвЂ™t have any problems. The young man said, вЂњDo you see the difference? I am going. He said, вЂњHow can I come with you? I have a palace, I have a kingdom, I have my wife, my childrenвЂ¦ I have thousands of worries and problems to solve.

Standing on the other shore, the young man said, вЂњMy answer is that I am going ahead. The king said, вЂњWhat is the need to go there? You can answer me here.вЂќД«oth went past the river. Just a few miles away was the river, the boundary of his kingdom. You have to come with me outside the boundary of your kingdom.вЂќ Why waste six months, and for six months unnecessarily disturbing your sleep. In fact, it arose the same moment I stood up to follow you. The young man said, вЂњI knew that this question was going to arise one day. You live in the palace, you enjoy all the luxuriesвЂ¦ what is the difference between me and you?вЂќ The king said, вЂњIt hurts me to ask, but I want to know what the difference is between me and you. The young man said, вЂњYou can ask any question.вЂќ Because of it, for six months I have not slept well.вЂќ He is inside the palace.вЂќД«ut how long can you carry such a state of mind?ДЄfter six months, one day early in the morning when they were taking a walk together in the gardens, the king said to him, вЂњOne question has been continuously harassing me and I want to get rid of it. And now it is very difficult either to swallow him or to spit him out. Just sitting there every night, he knew I passed at that time, sitting silently like a buddha, he knew that I would be caught - and he caught me. What kind of a stupid person am I? This man has deceived me. He accepted all the delicacies of the palace. With each acceptance he was falling down in the scale of saintliness: what kind of saint was he? He accepted a beautiful king-size bed. The king provided for him in the best part of the palace, servants, young girls to look after him - and he accepted everything.

He could not take his word back it would be to ungentlemanly.Д«ut the young man was watching everything. This fellow has suddenly fallen from his sainthood, in the mind of the king. Sick, hungry, torturing oneself in thousands of waysвЂ¦ and then you become a great saint. This is not a great saint.вЂќ This is the old idea of the saint, that he should be as uncomfortable as possible. The mind of the king was thinking, вЂњWhat have I done? This man is still interested in the luxuries of a palace, being the guest of a king. The king asks the young man to come to his palace - inviting him - but deep down his unconscious wants him not to accept his invitation because that will mean he is still desirous of luxuries and palaces.Д«ut that young man simply stood up, and he said, вЂњI am coming.вЂќ This is how the barbarous mind functions. I invite you to come with me to my palace. Seeing you so silently, like the ancient story of Buddha, I have fallen in love with your silence, your gestures, your utter undisturbance. The king said, вЂњI would love you to come to my palace. But whatever your curiosity is, please fulfill it.вЂќ The young man opened his eyes and he said, вЂњThere is no need for any apology because I am not meditating, I am meditation - nobody can disturb it. He stopped his horse and he said, вЂњYoung man, forgive me for disturbing your meditation.вЂќ He always found that young man sitting like a statue, without any movement.ДЇinally, he could not contain his curiosity. Every night the king passed around the city in disguise to see whether everything was right or not. A king was very much interested in a young man who always remained underneath a tree, sitting silently.
