| Krushchev had always served Stalin as a servant, and when he started saying things against him…. In one of the meetings of communist workers he was talking against Stalin, and a worker shouted from the back row, “Where were you when he was alive? Why didn’t you say these things when he was alive?” For a moment there was a very uneasy silence. Even Krushchev could not find any words. Then he asked, “Can I ask one thing, sir? Can you stand up, comrade? Who has asked this question?” And Krushchev laughed and he said, “Now you know! That’s my answer...!” --Osho Come, Come, Yet Again Come, ch. 5 |
