Meeting Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh through His books and meditation techniques was like opening a little crack in the narrow and selfish space I have been living in for a long time, and looking out into a larger world. It was a burst of energy becoming available for the search for cleaner and more authentic feelings inside and outside myself. | |||
That’s one reason why I chose to live in one of His communities, where, through simple things like everyday work and sharing the good and the bad, we seek a growth as human beings which consists of difficult moments at times, but brings us ever closer to a truer centre of ourselves. | |||
Every year we go and visit Him in America, in the great community He is building in Oregon. It is for me an immense joy to see Him again, and to feel His love for each one of us and for all things, small and large, of this world. The communion with Him I experience in the silence of Satsang stimulates me to go on and to work for this great project. | |||

Meeting Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh through His books and meditation techniques was like opening a little crack in the narrow and selfish space I have been living in for a long time, and looking out into a larger world. It was a burst of energy becoming available for the search for cleaner and more authentic feelings inside and outside myself. That’s one reason why I chose to live in one of His communities, where, through simple things like everyday work and sharing the good and the bad, we seek a growth as human beings which consists of difficult moments at times, but brings us ever closer to a truer centre of ourselves. Every year we go and visit Him in America, in the great community He is building in Oregon. It is for me an immense joy to see Him again, and to feel His love for each one of us and for all things, small and large, of this world.
