    Osho uses the Hasid stories collected by
    author Martin Buber in his book Tales of
    Hasidism as jumping off points for his own
    unique interpretations on them.

    A Jesus, a Buddha, or a Baal Shem Tov are
    by necessity rebellious. I don't call them
    revolutionaries; I call them rebellious -- and
    the difference has to be understood well.

    A revolutionary is one who wants to change
    the society, who wants to change the
    government, who wants to change the
    structure -- economical, political, religious. A
    revolutionary is not spiritual. He is not
    concerned with his own change. He thinks if
    others change then everything will be
    perfectly okay.

    A revolutionary lives in an illusion. All
    revolutions have failed, failed utterly. And
    ultimately a revolution cannot succeed. The
    very attitude is wrongly oriented: it is an
    effort to change the other.

    A rebellious man is not concerned with the
    structure of the society, state, government,
    no. He is concerned with his own being. He is
    individual. Revolutionaries make parties.

    A rebellious man is alone; he is his own
    revolution. Wherever he moves, a revolution
    moves around him...
