Sadananda

    When I first arrived in Poona.. Aug '78.. After I had taken Sannyas I wrote Osho a humongous letter.. four or five pages.. everything.. At the following Darshan I was called to come forward. I was of course expecting that Osho would give me a long and detailed answer to the letter.. I stood there expectantly but he said nothing. Finally I stammered: "I wrote you a letter," to which he said: "Mmmm.." I stood there for a few moments not knowing what to say and then went and sat down again.
    A month later, when it was time to leave to return to the West I was all packed and decided I was too busy to go to discourse that morning, but at the very last minute I changed my mind and rushed to Buddha Hall arriving just in time to sit way in the back. To my immense surprise Osho had taken part of my letter and made a question of it. He spoke, it seemed just to me, for a long time.. I felt so blessed.. Pieces of his answer come to me from time to time.. My favorite: "Therapies were not needed in the world when people just for life were grateful. Were singing songs of joy in their hearts."
