six feet tall when he left New York, was now little higher than two feet. His employees all looked at him and asked, "Mr. Levensky, what happened?"
He replied, "Never, but never, under any circumstances, call a witch doctor a schmuck!"
It is better not to call anything to anybody -- just remain centered in yourself. Look at the world and drop judgments, and you will have such a pure atmosphere around you -- no appreciation, no condemnation, just a pure watchfulness.
This watchfulness, I call meditation.
Question 3
BELOVED OSHO,
SOMETIMES I AM BLESSED BY THIS OVERWHELMING FEELING THAT THIS COMMUNE IS BECOMING GENTLY ONE BODY, ONE ORGANISM, ONE HEARTBEAT. AM I DREAMING? AM I ONCE MORE THE USUAL UTOPIAN? OH, AMORE, PLEASE TELL ME IT IS NOT A DREAM.
Sarjano, it is a dream that is coming true, but it is a dream -- not your dream, but the dream of everybody who is here.
It is impossible to find a man who is not carrying a dream of utopia, of a world which is better, more human, more beautiful, more loving; a world without conflicts, wars, discriminations, a world sensitive, compassionate, understanding. Every human being carries in some corner of his consciousness the dream, and it is not a new phenomenon.
From the very beginning the dream has been present in humanity, and efforts have been made to make a reality of it. Almost all efforts have failed, not because of any intrinsic difficulty, but because of a vast world that surrounds you. Your dreams are not in tune with the vested interests of the world, and they are more powerful -- immensely powerful. The dreamer is very delicate, very fragile, just like his dream.
It is a communion of dreamers.
We created a dream in America, but the American establishment could not tolerate it, because the dream of human beings living in peace and love as an organic unity is against all politics, against all those who are in power. It is against all the so-called religions, because if you succeed in creating a dream here and making it a reality, who is going to bother about their heaven and hell and God?
Bertrand Russell is right when he says that
