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:
"In every possible way their freedom is being cut. Less freedom, less individuality – and the moment the child becomes one hundred percent obedient, he has died.
"In his disobedience was his life. In his rebellion was his being. And you cannot say that the intentions of the parents are wrong. I never suspect anybody's intentions, but that is not the question at all. The question is what is the result? The intention is something inside you. You can have all good or bad intentions – just keep them to yourself. The moment you start acting on them, the good intentions are far more dangerous than the bad intentions – because a bad intention can immediately be retaliated, condemned, not only by the person you are imposing it on, but even by those who are eyewitnesses to it. But a good intention is very dangerous.
"Both are doing the same work, destroying the freedom of the individual to be himself, so their nature is not in any way different. But against bad intentions rebellion is possible, and will be supported by everyone; but against good intentions rebellion becomes impossible. Everybody will be supporting the people of good intentions, who are destroying the individual. Nobody will come to his support.
"It is none of our business to save the world. In the first place, we never created it. It is none of our responsibility where it goes and what happens to it. Our only responsibility is that while we are here, we live a life of joy, love, blissfulness. While we are here, our responsibility is to know who we are and what this life is all about. And the miracle is, in doing that you are already changing the world – without being aggressive.
"There is no idea of changing anywhere, so the question of aggression does not arise. You don't have even a vague conception of changing the world and making it according to yourself. You are simply living your life, of which you are the master. You are trying to live as intensely and as totally as possible, because life is so short and the next moment is so uncertain, that we have to take every moment as if it is the last moment."
