 laboratoires YSOPTIC Dear sirs, Being deeply involved in business for years, I want to express how much BHAGWAN SHREE RAJNEESH teachings have been important to my life personally and professionally in terms of self-realization. Through his books, his meditations techniques, the attitude of his followers, I have considerably increased my efficiency. His spiritual guidance, by connecting one to consciousness and love , and helping to go beyond one’s limitations, has enabled me to face my personal -life and reach my present level of responsability. Brought up a Christian, and being deeply concerned by the message of Jesus-Christ, I have found with Bhagwan the best way to live out this religious feeling. I did search a long time For such a spiritual Master. Very sincerely yours, |
