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 just plain "मां", Maan, Mom or Mother. It has a few of the hand-written marks that have been observed in other letters: a blue number (12) in a circle in the top right corner, a red tick mark and a pale blue figure which reads "37" in a mirror (Devanagari characters). In addition, there is a small blue tick mark right at the top.
रजनीश दोपहर: मां, मनुष्य मृत है क्योंकि वह वर्तमान में नहीं है। वर्तमान, जीवन का – सत्य का – प्रभु का, द्वार है। उसमें जो जागता है वह प्रभु-राज्य को पाजाता है। अतीत और भविष्य का अस्तित्व मन में है। मन है स्मृति, मन है कल्पना, मन है विचार – विकृति। मन जबतक है वर्तमान नहीं होता है। मन मिटे तो वर्तमान प्रगट होजाता है जैसे कि बदलियां हटते ही निरभ्र नीलाकाश के दर्शन होते हैं। एक मित्र आये हैं। मैं उनसे कहा हूँ : “सत्य पाना है तो मन को छोड़ना पड़ता है। छोड़दें मन फिर सत्य अपने से आजाता है। उसे खोजने कहीं जाना नहीं है। वह तो है ही। वह साथ ही है। वह तो हम स्वयं ही हैं। मन बाधा है। विचार बाधा हैं। बाधा हटी – पर्दा हटा कि हम उसके मंदिर में पहुँच जाते हैं।“ वह बाहें फैलाये हमारे आलिंगन को उत्सुक खड़ा है। रजनीश |
