Osho wrote many letters in Hindi to Ma Yoga Prem which were published in various letter collections. This one is dated 25th November 1970 and was published in Prem Ke Phool (प्रेम के फूल) as letter #129. It is to be noted that PKP appears to have gotten the date wrong, making it Nov 26. To establish beyond reasonable doubt that this is the same letter is more complicated than the case of Letter written on 15 Oct 1970 (YPrem), so all that is explored in the Talk page.

The letterhead is a typical one from the relatively short Churchgate period, similar in design to the long-time Kamala Nehru Nagar letterhead used before Osho moved from Jabalpur to Mumbai. It has a simple all-lower-case "acharya rajneesh" and a two-colour Jeevan Jagriti Kendra logo. His address is in a third colour, a pale blue, and all-caps. The letter is written in black ink with the signature a bright purple.

acharya rajneesh

27, C. C. I. CHAMBERS CHURCHGATE BOMBAY-20 PHONE NO. : 293782

प्रिय योग प्रेम,
प्रेम। अस्तित्व है धूप -छाव। आशा-निराशा। सुख-दुख। जन्म-मृत्यु।

अर्थात्, अस्तित्व है व्दैत। विरोधी ध्रुवों का तनाव। विरोधी स्वरों का संगीत।

लेकिन, उसे ऐसा जानना, पहचानना, अनुभव करना -- उसके पार होजाना है।

यह अतिक्रमण (Trancendence ) ही साधना है।

इस अतिक्रमण को पालेना ही सिद्धि है।

इस अतिक्रमण का साधना-सूत्र है : साक्षीभाव।

कर्ता को विदा करो।

भोक्ता को विदा करो।

और, साक्षी में जियो।

नाटक को देखो -- नाटक में डूबो मत।

और देखनेवाले दृष्टा में डूबो।

फिर दृश्य में ही रह जाते हैं सुख-दुख, जन्म-मृत्यु।

फिर वे छूते नहीं हैं -- छू नहीं सकते हैं।

उनसे तादात्म्य (Identity) में ही बस सारी भूल है, सारा अज्ञान है।

रजनीश के प्रणाम

२५/११/१९७०
