ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO HE RESPONDED TO A QUESTION FROM AN ITALIAN TV CREW ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AFTER HIS DEATH, BY SAYING:-I BELIEVE AND TRUST ABSOLUTELY IN EXISTENCE.IF THERE IS ANY TRUTH IN WHAT I AM SAYING , IT WILL SURVIVE.THE PEOPLE WHO REMAIN INTERESTED IN MY WORK WILL BE SIMPLY CARRYING THE TORCH BUT NOT IMPOSING ANYTHING TO ANYONE,EITHER BY SWORD OR BREAD.I WILL REMAIN A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION TO MY PEOPLE AND THAT IS MOST SANNYASINS WILL FEEL. I WANT THEM TO GROW ON THEIR OWN …QUALITIES LIKE LOVE AROUND WHICH NO CHURCH CAN BE CREATED, LIKE AWRENESS-QUALITIES WHICH ARE NOBODY’S MONOPOLY,LIKE CELEBRATION, REJOICING AND MAINTAINING CHILD LIKE,FRESH EYES.I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THEMSELVES NOT BE ACCORDING TO SOMEONE ELSE.AND THE WAY IS IN.
I HOPE I HAVE CONVEYED TO YOU WHAT, THROUGH OUT ALL THESE MONTHS OF ILL HEALH AND IMPENDING DEATH,HAS BEEN MOST STRIKING ABOUT WHAT OSHO HAS BEEN SAYING.AND THAT IS AND THAN HIS WORK CONTINUES WITHOUT HIS HAVING TO BE IN THE BODY ,THEN THIS IS THE FLOWERING OF HIS DREAMS .LET5 ME REAPT HIS EXACT WORDS IN REFERENCE TO HIS LEAVING IN THE BODY:
“MY PRESENCE HERE WILL BE MANY TIMES GREATER…. REMIND MY PEOPLE THAT THEY FEEL MUCH MORE:THEY WILL KNOW IMMEDIETLY.”
HE SAID, “MY WORK IS GOING REALLY WELL,THECOMMUNE IS RUNNUNG BEAUTIFULY, AND AFTER MY DEATH, MANY MANY MORE PEOPLE WILL BE COMING HERE.”
ONE OF THE THINGS OSHO ALWAYS SAID IS, “ALWAYS MAKE ROOM FOR SANNYASINS TO CONTRIBUTE TO MY WORK.”
I THINK YOU CAN TAKE IT THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE A LOT FOR US ALL TO DO.
IN SOME INEXPLICABLE WAY IT FEELS, NOT THAT HIS WORK IS OVER, BUT THAT IT HAS JUST BEGUN.
IT FEEL THAT HIS WHOLE LIFE HAS BEEN APREPRATION FOR THE MOMENT WHEN HIS
PEOPLE CAN SIT IN SILENCE AND FEEL HIS PRESENCE WITHOUT HIS HAVING TO DO THE WORK OF CARRYING HIS BODY. HE ALWAYS SAYS HE IS A LAZY MAN. TWO NIGHT AGO, FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME, THAT HAPPENED. FOR THE FIRST TIME, WE ALL SET TOGETHER IN SILENT COMMUNION WITHOUT HIS PHYSICAL PRESENCE.
IT IS ALREADY GONE SEVEN 0’CLOCK HE WILL BE WAITING FOR US NOW, FOR THAT TO HAPPEN AGAIN.
