| Martin Buber has written a book, I and Thou. He is one of the most profound Jewish thinkers – but he remains a thinker. He may talk about mysticism, but that talk is also one of a thinker and philosopher, because at the very end he retains the old division, I and thou. Now the thou is not here, in this world, but God has become the thou, but the old division persists... --Osho And the Flowers Showered, ch. 10 |
