Editing Rajneesh (section)

==="Heart to heart communion"===
In April 1981, Rajneesh had sent a message that he was entering the ultimate stage of his work, and would now speak only through silence.<ref name=":6" /><ref>{{Cite book|last=Joshi|first=Vasant|title=The Luminous Rebel|publisher=Wisdom Tree|year=2010|isbn=978-81-8328-154-6|location=India|pages=150–151|language=English}}</ref> On 1 May 1981, Rajneesh stopped speaking publicly and entered a phase of "silent heart to heart communion".<ref>{{Cite book|last=Appleton|first=Sue|title=Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh the Most Dangerous Man since Jesus Christ|publisher=Rebel Publishing House Gmbh|year=1987|isbn=3-89338-001-9|location=West Germany|pages=85}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|last=Joshi|first=Vasant|title=OSHO The Luminous Rebel|publisher=Wisdom Tree|year=2010|isbn=978-81-8328-154-6|location=India|pages=150|language=English}}</ref>

Rajneesh stated in the first talk he gave after ending three years of public silence on 30 October 1984, that he had gone into silence partly to put off those who were only intellectually following him.<ref>{{Cite book|title=The Rajneesh Bible|date=c. 1985|publisher=Rajneesh Foundational International|isbn=0880502002|location=Rajneeshpuram, Or., U.S.A.|oclc=11813128}}</ref><ref name=":8">{{Cite book|last=Joshi|first=Vasant|title=OSHO The Luminous Rebel|publisher=Wisdom Tree|year=2010|isbn=978-81-8328-154-6|location=India|pages=170–171|language=English}}</ref>

{{blockquote|First, my silence was not because I have said everything. My silence was because I wanted to drop those people who were hanging around my words. I wanted people who can be with me even if I am silent. I sorted out all those people without any trouble. They simply dropped out.

Three years was enough time. And when I saw all those people – and they were not many, but they were hanging around my words. I don't want people to just believe in my words; I want people to live my silence. In these three years it was a great time to be silent with my people, and to see their courage and their love in remaining with a man who perhaps may never speak again. I wanted people who can be with me even if I am silent.<ref name=":8"/>}}
