| Have you ever observed that once a politician is out of power he is simply forgotten? Nobody remembers him. He may live for thirty or forty years, nobody will know about him. By and by, he will recede into darkness. Only once, when he dies, will there be a small notice in the newspapers, that the ex-president or ex- premier is dead. The man who ruled over Russia before Lenin, Kerensky, lived for fifty years after it like a small New York grocer, and nobody knew about him. He was the prime minister of Russia, the most important man – the revolution happened and he was thrown out of power. He escaped. He lived for fifty years. Only when he died did people become aware that Kerensky had been alive for all those fifty years... --Osho The Beloved, Vol. 1, ch. 9 |
