Talk:Everyday Osho

From The Sannyas Wiki

There seems to be no provision for a Leap Year with only 365 chapters. What's a poor seeker to do?

To rectify this glaring omission, editors at Sannyas Wiki offer the following for Feb 29. It's not from a Darshan Diary but it is in a way a dialogue:

OSHO, I WAS BORN ON FEBRUARY 29TH, HENCE MY BIRTHDAY COMES ONLY ONCE IN FOUR YEARS. IS THERE SOME SIGNIFICANCE IN IT?
Gandharva,
JANUARY OR FEBRUARY OR MARCH February 28th or 29th - these are all arbitrary. These are our imposed ideas. Existence knows nothing of February, March. Even if you were born on April 1st there is no significance in it! You will not be a bigger fool than you are, you will be the same. What significance can February 29th have? But people want some significance.
I have heard about only one accident that has happened on February 29th: that is the birth of Morarji Desai.
Zoo keeper to tourists: "In this cage we see the leopard. This animal has one black spot for every day of the year."
Old lady: "What about a leap year?"
Zoo keeper, thinking fast: "Ah yes - behold, madam, I lift his tail thus - behold the 29th of February!"
