CHAPTER 19. RELIGION IS REBELLION It has nothing to do with me. It is simply religion. You have to understand, as totally as possible, that just a pure religion has more possibility of surviving, because then you don’t put any boundaries on it. I have not put any boundaries on it. And I don’t want to put any boundaries on you: of discipline, of morality, of virtue. I have given you freedom, and I have given you individuality, and I have given you just a little taste of something that is always yours. Just you have to claim it. From Ignorance to Innocence 276 Osho

19 December 1984 pm in Lao Tzu Grove CHAPTER 20 Surrender: the ego upside down This tapes of this discourse were erased the day after it was given, this transcription appeared a week later. Question 1 OSHO, ISN’T ORGANIZATION A NECESSITY FOR A RELIGION TO SURVIVE? UNFORTUNATELY, it is. Religion needs some kind of organization, but the problem arises. Organization in itself is a political entity; organization does not need religion at all. To survive, religion needs organization. To survive, organization needs no religion at all. There is the crux of the whole problem. There have been in the past efforts to create religion without any organization, seeing that all the organizations somehow end up in being anti-religious. For example, the Catholic church – it is a very solid organization but only an organization; there is no religion left. 277

CHAPTER 19. RELIGION IS REBELLION<br />

It has nothing <strong>to</strong> do with me.<br />

It is simply religion.<br />

You have <strong>to</strong> understand, as <strong>to</strong>tally as possible, that just a pure religion has more possibility of<br />

surviving, because then you don’t put any boundaries on it.<br />

I have not put any boundaries on it. And I don’t want <strong>to</strong> put any boundaries on you: of discipline, of<br />

morality, of virtue.<br />

I have given you freedom, and I have given you individuality, and I have given you just a little taste<br />

of something that is always yours.<br />

Just you have <strong>to</strong> claim it.<br />

<strong>From</strong> <strong>Ignorance</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Innocence</strong> 276 <strong>Osho</strong>
