- Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Savita.
- Question 1
- Beloved Osho, are you a messiah, a prophet, or a reincarnation of God?
- A: I have never expected that one of my sannyasins would ask such a bullshit question!
- I am simply myself. I am not a messiah, because there is no God to send messengers to the world. Moreover, I don't want to be crucified. To prove that you are a messiah of God, crucifixion is absolutely necessary. Not that I am afraid of death, but I would like a comfortable, luxurious death. Not carrying the cross on my own shoulders, not even on your shoulders -- the cross will be carried on a Rolls Royce limousine.
- I am not a prophet either. I don't know what is going to happen in the next moment. I don't know even what I am going to say in the next moment. The future does not exist for me. That's exactly the meaning of the future: that which does not exist. And the prophet is one who prophesies, predicts. This is the most cunning business in the whole world.
- And how can I be an incarnation of God? God is invented by those people who want to be incarnations of God. Their God is phony -- American, plastic. And all those prophets, messiahs and messengers of God, incarnations of God, what have they done to the world?

- Question 2
- Beloved Osho, what is your business? What are you doing here?
- Question 3
- Beloved Osho, what do you say about the Third world war? Is it going to happen or not? What should we do to prevent it?
