This episode is about a lecture given by the Indian spiritual teacher, Osho. The lecture focuses on the nature of Hasidism, a Jewish mystical tradition, and its historical context. Osho discusses why the founders of Hasidism prohibited women from participating in their ecstatic religious dances and draws parallels to other religious movements, such as Buddhism and Jainism, where similar restrictions were placed on women due to societal pressures. He highlights the importance of living masters and the challenges of maintaining the authenticity of spiritual teachings in the absence of such a figure. He also explores the themes of ego, death, and laughter, suggesting that true enlightenment comes from an understanding of life's absurdity and a willingness to surrender to the unknown.
