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:
Why is that?
"Because I am notorious. You need not do anything; you just be with me and you will lose your prestige, your respectability, your service.
"Everything will be gone.
"They love me because I love them, and they cannot love me more than I love them. If the love of all my sannyasins around the world is put on one side of a scale and my love for them on the other side, I'm going to be weightier."
Osho,
When, or if, you pass away, or if something happened, who would take over? Would there be someone to take over? What would happen to Rajneeshpuram?
"Let me start from some point. I have been waiting my whole life for somebody to ask it, but nobody has asked it: nobody asks me what will happen to me when I die. Nobody is worried about that.
"I will be dying and you will be living here. The whole trouble, and the journey into the unknown, is for me. Nobody seems to be concerned about that; everybody is concerned about those who will be left behind, living. What kind of minds have human beings got? Very egocentric. I am dying, and even at my last breath you will be asking, 'What will happen to all these people who will be living?' Nobody will ask, 'Osho, forget all about us. We will be living, and you are going on an unknown pilgrimage. What can we do for you?'"
What kind of a pilgrimage would you be going on when you die?
"Whatever kind of pilgrimage, when one is dying at least he is out of this world, out of this life, out of all that is known. He is moving into the dark and the unknown and the unfathomable. If you really love the person you will be concerned about him. But the trouble is that everybody is concerned about himself – although you will be living and I will be dying."
What could we do then? What could we the living do to help?
"At least you could ask the question! But for my whole life I have been waiting and nobody has asked it. I am simply pointing out the fact of how egocentric man is. Now your question…
"My whole teaching is centered on the present moment, this moment. I do not care for any tomorrows."
"Because I am notorious. You need not do anything; you just be with me and you will lose your prestige, your respectability, your service.
"Everything will be gone.
"They love me because I love them, and they cannot love me more than I love them. If the love of all my sannyasins around the world is put on one side of a scale and my love for them on the other side, I'm going to be weightier."
