Question 1

What is an average day for Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh consist of?

Question 2

Do you have leisurely pursuits at all?

Question 3

Do you believe in fighting injustice?

Question 4

Do you think that one should fight justice, injustice?

Question 5

How's this moment going for you?

Question 6

About a year and a half ago, I had a really dark time in my life and somebody suggested to get into meditation, and I bought your Orange book on meditation. And the one that changed what was happening for me was the laughter meditation. As soon as I knew I was awake, and I started laughing, the whole day went completely different than before. So I need to thank you for showing me this meditation.

Question 7

Somebody told me that the only devils running around are the ones that are in our own hearts. Do you think that that's true?

Question 8

Why do you think that is?

Question 9

Does society have a responsibility to its disadvantaged people?

Question 10

Last year's program for the homeless, was that your idea?

Question 11

Were you happy with the results?

Question 12

What were your first impressions when you arrive here at Rajneeshpuram?

Question 13

Are we talking figuratively or...?

Question 14

What are your impressions of the city now? You were here and you had to make the adjustment with the desert. What's your impression?

Question 15

You told some reporter to tell the Australians you were coming down there. So do you have any plans in the immediate future to go...?

Question 16

How's your health?

Question 17

What happens to Rajneesh and Rajneeshpuram when you die? It continues on as it is?

Question 18

You must admit that you have something to do with the religion of Rajneeshism?

Question 19

Now you now advocate nonviolence....

Question 20

I'd been led to believe that for a while.

Question 21

You were in India at the time that India gained her independence from Britain. You were ten, between ten and twenty at that time; is that correct? What kind of an affect did that have on you after what was going on before... Living under the British rule, and then not to have them anymore. It must have been rather traumatic for most Indians. Was it?

Question 22

Is there anything that can be done to save India, do you think?

Question 23

Did the independence of India have any bearing on your outlook in life?

Question 24

It's a big job to try to bring the world together in one?

Question 25

Do you think that governments will keep escalating until they forget what war is like, and then blow 'em all up?

Question 26

Have you let them know?

Question 27

I heard last week they, they found AIDS viruses in tears also.

Question 28

The government is repressing that?

Question 29

They're not going to make love to their guns. They're going to make love to something else.

Question 30

Do you have any idea what that is?

Question 31

We obviously have a lot of work to do on our planet here.

Question 32

Do you think that we should continue to explore off of our planet?

Question 33

Doesn't that start with ourselves though? We have to start here?

Question 34

If it's possible for Oregon and California to be side by side and be part of one nation, is it not possible for sannyasins and the rest of Oregon to live side by side and be part of one nation?

Question 35

Are you putting the responsibility on them then?

Question 36

I've been out there. There are people to be afraid of. You should be afraid of some of those people out there.

Question 37

There's no immediate plans for that right now, is there? Great. Are there any plans in the future that would be similar to the street people invitation?

Question 38

I would be happy to hold it until next month if you wanted to tell me now?

Question 39

Do you think it's true that the more light you have the better you can see what is trivial and outmoded in your conditioning?

Question 40

You said you felt sorry for the poor man because he ....

Question 41

How are you bored with Rolls Royces?
