Comment on Reading 203, from Oprah Winfrey by rhapsodysinger

You are quite right as far as you see the quote as a part of power narratives. But we have to be careful in discerning the mental largesse of a successful talk-show host. The very fact of her being popular among unmindful millions ensures to my mind, an easy dismissal of her comments as anything deeper than what they say. Yet as you have pointed out, she is part of the very discourse you deride. & rightly so!

this rings like truth, but … what if it is not?
what if it is only half of the secret (or no secret)… what if it only works for some people and not all? I know plenty of people who worked hard all their lives and died not better off (asuming their goal was to get better off). On the other hand - I know people who are achieving their goals without sweat and much effort (those we call lucky ones). So… what works for some, doesn’t work for others. But here’s my point: “Whatever your goal, you can get there if you’re willing to work.” is a very convenient mantra (for those who are in power) and a tool for conditioning people to work more and more.

i have had read Osho from a long time and so have heard a lot about his ashram in the negative way, that is!!!

Coming from you, I tend to believe it could be true and so, I better stick to his notes
