"We can become one, and the hindrance disappears. The idea that the hindrance has to be removed is very crude; there is no need to remove it. If you are ready, you can merge with me. If you are afraid, I can merge with you.

"The basic question is that the gate of the paradise is very narrow and only one can enter – two cannot enter together. Now it is not my fault! – simply old architecture.

Osho,
As a Christian I was taught, 'Jesus loves you and lives within you.' I could never find him – not within me, not within others, not in churches – not to mention God, whose house a church is supposed to be. Now I've met you. I feel your love; and seeing others, I feel something in them. Yesterday I saw you in the house. I didn't even have to look for you; you were just there. When I trust, everything goes wonderfully. Is it you who enters me, who comes in?

"It is your trust that creates miracles. Nobody else can create a miracle for you, but your trust is the source of all miracles.

"You were brought up as a Christian; that is a misfortune, but nobody can avoid it. If you had not been brought up as a Christian, you would have been brought up as a Hindu, as a Mohammedan, as a Jew – and all these diseases have the same quality of destroying you and your trust. In fact to destroy your trust is to destroy you.

"Because you were brought up as a Christian, you were told that Jesus loves you, Jesus is in you. But these were words told to you, not your experiences. They were false; they never tallied with your own understanding, intelligence, intuition. Still, you had to believe in them because everybody else believed in them. Not to believe in them would have created many kinds of troubles.

"It is easier to go with the crowd, otherwise the crowd can be very crude, very primitive. It respects people, gives them honor if they are obedient to its superstitions – and naturally everybody wants to be respected, honored. A natural instinct to be respected is exploited."
