As the taxi starts, he puts his arm around me and tells me to introduce myself. He hires a taxi and opens the door for me. First I hesitate, but finding no other way, I agree to it. One man standing by my side starts talking to me very gently and offers me a lift in a taxi. I walk out of the station and wait at the bus stop. By the time the train reaches Andheri station it is already 11:45pm. But at any cost, I don’t want to miss His discourse.Īs usual, I am going back home by local train and for some reason the train stops between two stations nearly half an hour. Men give me funny looks and sometimes pass ugly remarks. There are hardly any women traveling by local train at that late hour. It takes me more than an hour to reach my home in the suburbs. Sometimes discourse goes on for a couple of hours. Osho has started speaking every evening from 8:00pm at His apartment in Woodlands. I don’t find any words to express my gratitude to Him for allowing me to sleep on the same mattress on which He sits twice a day for nearly two hours at a time." In the morning He asks me if I slept well in the night. I appreciate His concern about every little thing. When one side of the tape is about to finish I slowly press the stop button and I observe Osho stops speaking till the recorder is on again. I am listening to Him and at the same time watching the recording indicator needles moving, giving me the signal of the volume. Every day He is taking us deeper into the mystery of existence. It is more like an intimate dialogue than a discourse. Friends are allowed to ask questions during discourse. During discourse, I sit near Him with my little cassette recorder. In the living room I have a mattress on the floor which I sleep on during the night, and in the morning I fold it up and cover it with a white sheet and keep some pillows to make a comfortable seat for Osho to sit on while speaking. As there is only one bathroom I get up early to take my shower and then get the bathroom ready for Him. "Osho decides to speak in the living room of His cottage every morning and evening.
