Osho

Indian mystic also known as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh ('Bhagwan', meaning Lord), whose provocative teachings joined sex and spirituality. Sheela fell in love with him in 1972 at 22 and dedicated herself to making his dream, Rajneeshpuram, a reality; she calls him 'a man of my eyes, man of my heart'.

Words spoken

• The basic fallacy that you are carrying within you is that you loved always somebody... Their love is always for somebody. It is addressed. And the moment you address your love, you destroy it. It is as if you are saying, I will breathe only for you. And when you are not there, then how can I breathe?Osho · Ep 8 · 0:55
