rajneesh

A-1 WOODLAND PEDDAR ROAD BOMBAY-26 PHONE 382184

प्रिय आत्मन्,
प्रेम. मैं न भगवान हूं. न तीर्थंकर, न पैगम्बर.

वस्तुतः तो मैं वह हूं ही नहीं.

या,शून्यवत हूं.

किन्तु जबसे स्वयं को शून्य जाना तभी से एक तमाशा भी देख रहा हूं.

क्योंकि तभी से मैं एक दर्पण की भांति हो गया हूं.

और जो भी मेरे पास आता है वही अपनी तस्वीर मुझमें देख लेता है.

इसलिए किसी को मैं भगवान भी दिखाई पड़ता हूं और किसी को शैतान भी.

और इस सब पर मेरे पास हंसने के अतिरिक्त और कोई उपाय नहीं है.

मैं न किसी का समर्थन करता हूं, न विरोध---- क्योंकि वे जो कुछ भी कह रहे हैं, वह स्वयं उनके ही संबंध में है और उससे मेरा कोई भी संबंध नहीं है.
