    BELOVED OSHO,

    BEFORE WE ASK ANYTHING WE WOULD
    LIKE TO OFFER OUR GRATITUDE AND
    GREETINGS TO YOU.

    THE MYSTICS HAVE ALWAYS SAID THAT
    "THERE IS NOWHERE TO GO BUT IN."

    YOU ALSO SAY THE SAME. WE ARE
    FAMILIAR WITH THE WORDS, BUT OUR
    UNDERSTANDING OF IT DOES NOT GO
    BEYOND THE VERBAL LEVEL. COULD YOU
    PLEASE EXPLAIN THE DEEPER MEANING
    OF IT?

    Understanding at the verbal level is not worth
    calling understanding. In the world of religion
    there is no greater deception than words.
    The words can be understood, there is no
    difficulty in that, but that which is hidden
    behind the words remains uncomprehended,
    and that is the real difficulty.

    When the word is understood, but not that
    which lies behind the word, life becomes a
    great turmoil. We create the illusion of
    knowing when we do not know, and nothing is
    more dangerous than assuming that one
    knows when one does not.

    Life begins at the point where knowing
    happens. Life is transformed through
    knowing. But if we live under the illusion that
    we know religion because we know the words,
    then our mind travels in one direction while
    our life travels in another, and often these
    directions are completely opposite...
