This letter is one of a remarkable series of over 2650 letters amassed in 1983 to support Osho's attempt to get permanent resident status in the US at the time of the Oregon ranch. The image is reproduced here with the kind permission of The Oregon Historical Society. Information about their collection of these letters and other supporting material -- the "Jeffrey Noles Rajneesh Collection", named for Osho's immigration lawyer Jeffrey Noles, who compiled them in 1983 and donated them to the OHS -- can be found at this page. 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.

This letter is from Sw Dhyan Saverio (Saverio Penza). It is "Exhibit A-2590" in the Noles collection.

The text version below has been created by optical character recognition (OCR), from the images supplied by OHS. It has not been checked for errors but this process usually results in over 99% correct transcription. Most apparent "errors" are correct transcriptions of typos already in the original. The image on the right in the text box links to a pdf file of the original letter, it has one page.

To whom it may concern.

I have been informed that my spiritual master Bhagwan Shree Rasjneesh is being denied the possibility to stay in U.S.A, as a religious teacher on the evidence that He is Keeping silence.

Every spiritual master has his peculiar ways to deliver his message. Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh has now chosen the word less Way.

Every spiritual seeker finds his own forms of Worship. Mine is to be consciously on my working-place in this society as an integral part of it.

I call this freedom.

Every enlightened person on this planet looks at the Constitution of the New World as the highest peak in human and civil Right reached so far. Please remain Faithful to it.

Yours sincerely.
