This is a fascinating recording of an interview with Osho, while at the commune in the USA, answering questions for the first time from the world’s press.
Osho continues:
"She thought that she had understood it.
"I want one existence, not coexistence. Truth knows no compromise. Lies are always ready to compromise because they have nothing to lose; they have nothing in them. But truth cannot compromise. By compromising, it becomes untrue. If we are true, then those who are wrong should merge with us. If they are true, we are ready to merge with them. The question of coexistence does not arise.
"I believe in one existence, but I don't think the journalist would have come to this conclusion from a single word when I said, 'Never.' I am open; my commune is open. We are ready to discuss intellectually, humanly, everything that the neighbors may have against us. If they are right, we will change ourselves; but if we are right, they have to change themselves. The question of coexistence does not arise.
"Truth has to be victorious. From which side it comes does not matter. If they have the truth, then we will naturally become part of them. And that is something to be understood because it means dropping all hostility, dropping all anger, hatred, fear.
"In coexistence you don't drop anything, you simply accept the fact, there is no way – they are here, we are here – and somehow we have to manage to exist together.' But what kind of existence will that be – somehow? There is no joy, there is no friendship, there is no love. In the sentence it was asked, 'Is there any possibility of a peaceful coexistence?' For that, too, my answer is, 'Never.'
"People don't know what peace is. How can you be peaceful with anybody? First you have to be peaceful with yourself. And if you are not peaceful with yourself, how can you be peaceful with me or anybody else?
"We are already peaceful; we are not creating any trouble for anybody. We are not in any way unkind to anybody. The neighbors have to learn how to be peaceful with themselves. The question of being peaceful with your neighbors arises only because you are not peaceful, your neighbor is not peaceful – or perhaps one is peaceful, the other is not peaceful – so it is not a question of agreement, that 'We will live peacefully together.' If I am peaceful and you are peaceful, we live peacefully, without any declaration about peace."
