I have always wondered why, the minute I step on Indian soil, all changes, all becomes meaningful, I feel connected, I feel in harmony. Why it is so hard each time I fly away, why I cry and panic when I have to go abroad. I never could put it in words, but beloved Osho did :) If you feel the same about India, read it! "India is the oldest country which has allowed all kind of misfit people. It is unbelievable that Indian society down the ages has never crucified a Jesus and there have been many who were declaring "I am God"- Jesus was only saying "I am the son of God"- and nobody was objected. If they are enjoying and feeling blissful, they are not doing any harm to anybody. Gautam Buddha did not believe in God. Mahavira absolutely rejected the very idea of God. But they were not crucified, they were loved as they were. And even before them, a long passage of ten thousand years...you will find all kinds of people. Somebody is standing on his head: nobody even takes note of it, nobody says that you are mad or something. People always give them freedom: if he decides to be this way, this is his business. It is between him and God: who are we to interfere? I have been around the world. No country has such a groovy atmosphere. They are scientifically developed, progressive. They are rich, they are educated. This country is poor, hungry, with no science, no technology. But this country has a certain vibe which has been created by thousands of mystics. To adapt to the Indian atmosphere it takes a little time. It is just as if you are coming from the desert to the garden. It will take a little time to feel the greenness, to feel the fragrance of the flowers. The contrast is so big. This is the most unscientific country in the world, but it is the most religious, mystic, heartful land. It has its own juice. In India I feel at ease. The Western tension is not there, neither is the Western speed." Osho
