They are the ones who have roots and wings like the trees who have seen seasons around.

In the book, which I enjoyed reading, Laxmi does come to the understanding that surrender is acceptance of what is.

In a country of 870 million people in 1990, 6000-7500 people are negligible in numbers but their demography is exceptional as they were from more than 20 highly developed countries. From these maximum 7500 people, Osho chose 20 people to run the day-to-day affairs of the commune and see its further expansion.

It means 1 trustee after every 250 disciples. What more one can do for democracy and voice of the disciples?

What more we can expect from a dying master, master who is going to the other shore, never ever to come again?

Think over this, my friends.

I think no place where the master/disciple paradigm is played can be a democratic place. The paradigm means there is someone with higher consciousness and others with lower consciousness.

Democracy would mean all are on the same level of consciousness.

And just today my mother came to see me…

And this is the ugliest thing of all. She has done many ugly things. Laxmi had operations, major operations, in which her ovaries are removed, and some other parts of the stomach are removed. And she was sick few days before. She was hospitalized. Since then she started getting better. She came back to her place, and she was feeling very good and recovering.

Last day, when Sheela left, just one hour before, Prateeksha, Sheela’s sister, came with a glass of juice – and she had never come. All this time Laxmi has been here, Prateeksha had never come even to see her.

And she drank the juice, and immediately became badly sick. And she is already in a dying position. Now to poison her?

They must have thought that to leave Laxmi alive is dangerous, because as far as coming from India is concerned, they have committed many crimes. But they thought because they are never coming back, so who cares? Just once they are out of the country….”
