| Ungan said, "Osho..." Osho is really a great word of deep gratitude, love and honor. So much is implied that it cannot be translated by `reverend'; that reverend looks so ugly and Christian. Osho is very close and intimate, a very loving address, full of honor and gratitude... --Osho Yakusan: Straight to the Point of Enlightenment, ch. 5 |
