 July 5, 1983 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I wish to bring to your attention the remarkable insight and exceptional ability of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh in the field in which I work. As a B.Sc.Dipl.Ed. working for many years as a science teacher I am constantly finding his teachings to provide new insight way beyond the capacities of lesser minds. The teaching of science is fragmented into so many parts, and to the student the overview provided by Bhagwan changes the chore of learning into delight and humor filled play. To the teacher it is a joy to see children retaining their delight and burning curiosity along side a mature commitment to learning which comes from Bhagwan’s exceptional ability to inspire commitment and love. Yours faithfully, |
