When are you coming to Holland?

Ten years ago you said, "holland is going to be my first orange country." everybody in holland knows that you are coming. Could you please say something about the mind of the dutch people?

Holland is my country. I have more loving friends in Holland than anywhere else, not only loving but in deep trust. They have remained with me from the very beginning -- they don't know how to betray. It is a great quality, a great honor, to remain in love, to remain in trust, and to go on seeing the truth and never start taking it for granted. The Dutch people are beautiful. I have come in contact with so many Dutch sannyasins that it feels as if I have already been to Holland. Although I have not gone there yet... any day I could move to Holland. And this is my trust -- that although governments like that of Germany may try to prevent me from coming to their country, this is not going to happen in Holland. I will be received with love and welcomed; even the government is…

Beloved Osho, once again, I was sitting in holland minding my own business when I heard you had landed in bombay. It took me three days to decide I had to come and see you, be with you, hang out in your presence. Catching up with you has been quite an adventure. I had no question before I arrived, but before I leave I have two questions. First, how is your health? Second, could you please tell me what your plans are exactly so that I and my friends at the humaniversity don't have to worry about you.

Now the American government is pressuring the Indian government that I should not be allowed to make a commune here. The government has started doing harm -- I am receiving summons from different parts of the country, which are politically motivated. The only reason for all those summons is that somebody's religious feelings are hurt. So I have to be present in the court -- in the south, in Bengal, in Kashmir -- just to harass me, from one part to another part of the country, and from one court to another court. I will win all those cases. I have won all the cases of the same nature in the past, because whatever I have said is a truth. And if it hurts you, leave that religion because I am not making up that fact, that fact is in your scriptures. And in fact, those facts are against the…

[NOTE: This discourse is published in the book: The Last Testament, Volume 1, as Chapter 27.] Ma Prem Arup DE RAJNEESH TIMES AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS QUESTION: BHAGWAN, YOU ONCE SAID, "HOLLAND WILL BE ONE OF MY MOST ORANGE COUNTRIES." WHY IS THAT SO? ANSWER: You can see it already happening. It needs guts to be my red people, and Holland is one of the countries which has existed all through history with tremendous struggle, because the earth level is low and the sea level is higher. Holland has been continuously fighting against the ocean, and it has given a certain strength to the people. Only those who have strength to stand with me can belong to the red commune around the world. Holland is certainly going to be my country. My people are continuously growing in Holland.

German and swiss media are very interested in your plans to travel throughout europe. You said that if you are not permitted to enter into germany, you will circle around germany like a satellite. Will that also include coming to switzerland, and when will you come there?

Yes, it includes Switzerland -- but I will not be circling around Switzerland, I will be coming inside Switzerland. I have many sannyasins there, and I have something that I would like to see, and that is the Alps mountains. I love the Himalayas; the Alps are something similar -- not as high, but still with the same beauty. So I am going to come to Switzerland as soon as the Swiss government gathers some courage against America. I had asked for a visa, and they informed the ambassador here in Greece, "Keep cool" -- as if it is not cold enough in Switzerland! So once the ambassador gets a little warmer, I will be there.

Beloved Osho, it seems the vast majority of humanity would prefer to remain asleep. They become angry and hostile when cold water is thrown in their faces -- even by someone as compassionate as you. They would as soon see truth swept under the carpet and be rid of you and your people for good. Why does a master bother?

Anybody in Holland who is not part of the homosexual ideology should stand up against this government; this government needs to be overturned. If Holland does not stand up and throw this government out of power, that will be a clear-cut indication that they agree with the government, that they have accepted themselves as a homosexual country. Strange that nobody in Holland took any note about the government's statement. Now I want every Dutch man and woman to consider the fact. If they are really homosexuals, I have no objections; they can have this government. Otherwise an emergency vote is needed on whether the country is homosexual or not. And if, in the voting, the government is defeated, cannot get a majority of votes, it should resign immediately. It is no more a question of my entry into their country or not -- I don't care. It is a question…
