Short film of a Rajneeshpuram drive-by, with Sheela apparently ad-hoc interviewing Bhagwan about a question of a journalist:
4min 24sec, Sheela: "... (inaudible) asking a question. (Osho nods.) This morning a journalist asked me "why do you call yourself religion" and I told him that I would find out and let him know."
Osho: "Ours is the only religion. The first religion in the history of the world. All other religions are only experiments, that failed.
So not only say to them that we are religion, say to them that we are the only religion.
Christianity has failed, failed his master Christ. Mohammedanism has failed. Buddhism has failed. Hinduism has failed. Up to now, perhaps man was not mature enough to become religious. So only individuals have been religious. This is the only commune in the whole history of man which is religious.
So tell those guys this is the only religion. All others are just premature experiments which have failed. And we are not going to fail, for the simple reason, because we don't have any belief that can be proved untrue. We don't have any dogma that can be criticized. We don't live on fictions. Like the Christians, believing in God and the Trinity, which they can not prove. Hindus, Mohammedans, Jainas, Buddhists, they all live on fictions which have no logical roots, which are not scientific but superstitious, utterly superstitious. We have no superstition.
Hence, nobody can criticize it, nobody can destroy it. So I say to you that this is the first religion, and perhaps the last religion. There may no be any need for any other religion. We may fulfill all the needs of a religious man. Good Sheela."
Sheela: "Thank you."
