Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve will not have to go back to the Garden of Eden. And one day you will hear a knock on the door -- God wants to come in! Because you have managed to create a far better garden than his old one. But we can keep that garden too, as a museum piece.
Naturally, Raman Maharshi, Meher Baba, Gurdjieff, Krishnamurti belong to a different category.
I belong to my own category. There is no category to which I can belong; I have to create my category.
Naturally they are all against me because I am going to take away all their powers, all their conspiracies against humanity. Naturally, they are together against me.
And they are a little puzzled: what to do with a single man? It looks awkward to them also.

Only then a new man -- a really spiritual man, a man of cosmic dimensions -- can be born.
I am certainly blessed because I am the first who is opposed by all. This situation has never happened before, and will never happen again.

Too many goody-goody saints have created so much diabetes.
We need a different kind of saintliness.
I have called that different kind of saint Zorba the Buddha.
Question 2
BELOVED OSHO,
YOU HAVE MENTIONED IN THE PAST THAT THE WITCHES BURNED BY THE CHRISTIANS KNEW, AMONG OTHER SKILLS, HOW TO HYPNOTIZE. IT SEEMS
