It has been my good luck, the best luck, to be living with Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh at Rajneeshpuram (U.S.A.). And I am greatful to him for my life. | |||
In his presence here I have experienced this love in many ways. I feel, He is all love and compassion Though all sorts of people talk of love, love remains the most rare thing. It’s place has been taken by competition, jealousy and hate. And it is the cumulative effect of human hate that the world is on the brink of total annhilation. If some one asks what it is that is most needed today I will say love, but it is not the love of the market place, it is the LOVE that sages talk of. And the whole message of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh is LOVE. Love is the very climate of his life. And I feel that if the world has to be saved from the destruction of a third world war Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh is the only alternative. | |||
I hope the administration here will have the wisdom to grant Him permanent residence in the U.S.A. | |||

The image is reproduced here with the kind permission of The Oregon Historical Society.

The wiki is grateful to the OHS for making access available for these documents. For more information and links to all the letters, see Testimonial letters.

 Ma Amrit Priya To Whom it may concern: It has been my good luck, the best luck, to be living with Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh at Rajneeshpuram (U.S.A.). And I am greatful to him for my life. In his presence here I have experienced this love in many ways. I feel, He is all love and compassion Though all sorts of people talk of love, love remains the most rare thing. It’s place has been taken by competition, jealousy and hate. And it is the cumulative effect of human hate that the world is on the brink of total annhilation. If some one asks what it is that is most needed today I will say love, but it is not the love of the market place, it is the LOVE that sages talk of. And the whole message of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh is LOVE. Love is the very climate of his life. And I feel that if the world has to be saved from the destruction of a third world war Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh is the only alternative. I hope the administration here will have the wisdom to grant Him permanent residence in the U.S.A. Yours faithfully, |
