synopsis
Interview. First questions by the interviewer, Marcel Bruijns (incorrectly written on the CD-ROM as "Bruyns"). Later questions read by Ma Prem Maneesha : (from the remark about an earlier interview in August 1985, it is clear that this must be Marcel Bruijns, TROS National TV, The Netherlands) (questions 1-21); questions from a German magazine (CD-ROM adds: Quick) (q.22-25).
Question 1 : TROS TV, Holland
This is a kind of a paradise you have found again.
How do you manage to find these beautiful places over and over again?
Is it a difficult question? You have been thinking such a long time...
Question 2
Is the island of Crete an enlightened island? -- because first Zeus and now Osho.
Question 3
On this island, you might know, the hippie movement started years ago. Then we had flower power and the Beatles. Does the world need you like a Mick Jagger?
Question 4
You said once that the thirsty shall come to the well, but now the well is coming to the thirsty. You are making a trip around the world. When are you coming to Holland?
Question 5
Are they thirsty over there do you think?
Question 6
Remember our interview, August last year, Osho? This interview had very high ratings, only shown when disaster films are seen on television. Are you a kind of a disaster?
Question 7
Your last words in our TV interview in August, were, "The fruit is ripe." Since then you were arrested, Sheela left, Rajneeshpuram closed down, all the Rolls Royces were sold, and you traveled the world without finding peace. What kind of fruit were you talking about?
Question 8
Shouldn't you pick the fruit from the trees, instead of picking it up from the ground?
Question 9
What are your future plans?
Question 10
You don't have future plans?
Question 11
Is it easy not to have future plans? I mean, every single person in the world worries about tomorrow. You don't, because you are being taken care of.
Question 12
You don't have to pay rent tomorrow?
Question 13
You don't have to pay alimony tomorrow?
Question 14
You don't have to buy a car tomorrow?
Question 15
Well, it's easy not to worry then!
Question 16
There are a few questions I was not allowed to ask, because you didn't like them. Why is it that you are not prepared to answer any question?
Question 17
The future you don't want to talk about; you don't want to talk about the past -- nothing much is left!
Question 18
We already found out that that was a really easy answer! Anyway, is there a question I haven't asked you and you always wanted to answer?
Question 19
It seems like all the questions have already been asked, and you have already given all the answers?
Question 20
We will see each other back in holland, I hope. In the meantime i brought you a present. It is a tie from our station.
Question 21
I don't know how you can wear it, but anyway it is a beautiful tie!
Question 22 from Quick magazine, Germany
Are you intending to make another community, similar to Rajneeshpuram in America?
Question 23
You have defined yourself as the rich man's guru. Don't the other people interest you? Are the rich particularly in need of a guru? Or are you their guru because they have money?
Question 24
You are also known as the sex guru. What do you presently think of love?
Question 25
You seem to contradict yourself a lot. Do you change your mind, make mistakes -- or are you just inconsistent?
