these mad people around the world. Looking at so many people mad, they will have to think, "One man can be mad, but so many people? And they are intelligent people -- they are doctors, they are professors, they are engineers, they are computer experts. And in their whole lives they are working so intelligently. They cannot be called mad."
We have just to spread our madness fast enough before the idiotic politicians destroy this whole beautiful earth. The time is short, but it is a beautiful challenge.
The more red people there are around the earth, the more people will start inquiring of you, "What is it that you are enjoying? What is it that you are singing for? Why is it that you are dancing?" And once they become curious, inquiring, they are already on the path. Take their hands in your hands and let them move also into singing, dancing, rejoicing.
I am giving you, for the first time, an authentic religion: a religion which has wings to fly, a religion which does not condemn you, but accepts you as the highest evolution of consciousness on earth, a religion which gives you freedom to laugh, to sing, to dance.
The pioneers are going to be in a little difficulty, because the sad people who are living in despair -- who have never known a single moment of love, who have never known a single moment of silence or peace -- seeing you enjoying, are going to become hostile to you. That's why the whole of Oregon is hostile to us. We are not hostile to them.
One journalist has asked me, "Cannot your commune and the Oregonians coexist?"
I said, "Never!"
We are going to change the whole of Oregon to red. Why should we coexist? Coexistence means we keep our hostility hidden, and we become hypocrites, and we say nice nothings to each other. No.
I am for either or. Either they change us and make us sad and frustrated, or we are going to change them and make them dance and sing!
Question 2
BELOVED OSHO,
YEARS AGO I HAD CONTACT WITH CERTAIN PSYCHOLOGISTS, AND THEIR IDEAS SEEMED TO SET ME FREE. I FOUND NEW WAYS TO UNDERSTAND MYSELF, AND MET PEOPLE WITH INTEGRITY THAT I RESPECTED. I STILL LOVE THE POETRY
