  + moin otto,

  here come some sentences from your former guru:

  "rebellion is a very silent phenomenon that will go on spreading without 
  making any noise and without even leaving any footprints behind. it will move 
  from heart to heart in deep silences, and the day it has reached to millions 
  of people without any bloodshed, just the understanding of those millions of 
  people will change our old primitive animalistic ways." (osho rajneesh)

  now tell us an ashram story or two!
