Dear sannyasin, | |||
even as a non-sannyasin I feel it is important and a lovely idea to awaken the desert to a new life. With much inner sympathy I look at the real investment of so many people who direct their hope and consciousness into making peace and joy possible in this world and in Oregon. I also find it meaningful that Rajneeshpuram can keep their spiritual master Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and would think it would be lovely if the US could look into the eyes of this generosity. | |||
With best wishes | |||
