The Long and the Short and the All
- "You ask what my message is? It is a brief one indeed: those who are awake are alive; those who are asleep miss everything.
- No man is given manhood ready-made. He has to build it by himself. This is both a blessing and a bane. It is a blessing because he is free to create himself; it is a bane because there is always the possibility he will die without ever having become a man." (Osho, Ch. 1.)

Amrit Kan is said to have been published before 1965, and Prem Ke Pankh sometime in 1969.
