This is one of hundreds of letters Osho wrote to Ma Anandmayee, then known as Madan Kunwar Parakh. It was written in the afternoon of 22nd July 1961. The letterhead has a simple "रजनीश" (Rajneesh) in the top left area, in a heavy but florid font, and "115, Napier Town, Jabalpur (M.P.) in the top right, in a lighter but still somewhat florid font.
Osho's salutation in this letter is now for the first time just a simple, unadorned "मां", Maan, Mom or Mother. Gone are the Beloveds and the Revereds. It has a few of the hand-written marks that have been observed in other letters: a blue number 9 in a circle in the top right corner, a red tick mark and a pale blue figure which reads "34" in a mirror (Devanagari characters). There is a second pale blue mark in the top right corner which may or may not mean something.
रजनीश दोपहर: मां, प्रेम हो तो संवाद में दूरी बाधक नहीं है। अप्रेम ही एकमात्र दूरी है। सारा जगत् प्रेम से बंधा है। प्रेम योग है। प्रेम जहां नहीं है, वहां हैं खंड – वहां है अनेकता। अनेकता दुख है। अनेकता जड़ता है। अनेकता मृत्यु है। सब मृत्यु को छोड़ जीवन की ओर चलें ऐसी कामना अक्षुण्ण मेरे मन में बनी रहती है। मैं कहता रहा हूँ : मित्र जड़ता से उठो चैतन्य की ओर! मृत्यु से जीवान की ओर। उठो!! उठते ही सब बदल जाता है। आनंद का राज्य निकट है: द्वार भर खटखटाने की बात है। रजनीश |
