as it originally appeared on p 12 of the pdf
letter #59 of the pdf

The change today of the text and packaging of the piece which we are calling Das Jeevan-Sutra has now featured something other than what was actually in the pdf in that place, ie after the TOC and before the first letter. The two images show the difference. What was originally here was what was in the pdf IN THAT PLACE. Now we have letter #59, which was after letter #58 in the pdf, not before letter #1. We have the Hindi original letter which was translated in Flowers of Love.

The sense of both is the same but there are many small diffs, as seen by the wiki "diff" function. For instance, in the letter, the ten thingies are numbered. On p 12 they are not. The important thing is -- it seems to me -- that the thing here is no longer as it was in the pdf. It is the letter, not the "post-preface" or whatever you want to call it that Chinmaya inserted without context. -- doofus-9 02:47, 24 August 2019 (UTC)


Another way to go with this of course would be to repackage letter #59 as itself, not as the quasi-post-preface that Chinmaya put in without context. Then it is entirely as Osho presented it to Ramchandra, and entirely in its original book context. Then we just have to change the intro. As it is, the intro does not fit with the letter. -- doofus-9 03:40, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
