CHAPTER 18. ONE GOD, ONE MESSENGER, ONE BOOK – ONE BIG LIE
In his wildness is his freedom.
And in his freedom he finds truth.
In his freedom he finds himself.
In his freedom he finds everything that there is to be found in existence.
But a cultist remains full of rubbish and crap, borrowed empty words; maybe great words – God,
soul, truth – but all empty because he has not lived any of them.
And unless you live it, it has no meaning.
Only life gives meaning.
So it is true that they will not accept you as a religion – but why bother about them? Who cares?
I am not interested that they should accept us as religion. We don’t need anybody’s acceptance,
recognition, certificate. Who are they?
Those three people in the panel finally decided, ”It is time now that we should have a dialogue. We
should go to these people, the Rajneeshees, and we should have a dialogue.” I simply laughed at
the idea – the Jew sitting there, and on each side the two Christians sitting there.
The Jews did not have the courage to have a dialogue with Jesus – or do you think the crucifixion
was a dialogue? What dialogue can they have with me?
If they know, there is no need for them to come here. If they do not know, then it is going to be a
monologue. I will speak and they will have to listen. A dialogue is not possible.
If you also know, and I also know, there is no need for a dialogue – silence is enough.
If you don’t know, and I don’t know, then too there is no point in a dialogue, because it will not be a
dialogue, it will become a wrestling match.
I say I know. So with me there is only one possibility – a monologue.
