Osho,
God did not create people like Adolf Hitler in his own image. He created people like Jesus Christ, Hazrat Mohammed, Krishna and Buddha.

Osho,
God did not create people like Adolf Hitler in his own image. He created people like Jesus Christ, Hazrat Mohammed, Krishna and Buddha.

"It is not a question. It is a statement..."

Osho continues:
"It is as true as the Christian's belief that Jesus is the only begotten son of God, and the Mohammedan's belief that Mohammed is the only messenger of God. Nobody else believes it, but that is not the point. Christians believe it, the followers of Adolf Hitler also believe it.

"And Adolf Hitler was a very religious man. Let me give you a little glimpse of Adolf Hitler's life. He lived like a monk, in an underground cell. He was not interested in so-called worldly things that everybody is interested in. He was a vegetarian; he never ate any nonvegetarian food in his whole life. He remained unmarried almost his whole life – except for three hours, the last three hours. That is almost his whole life – what do three hours count? And what is possible in three hours of marriage?

"The marriage was arranged after he decided to commit suicide, because he had been continually harassed by this woman: 'Why don't you get married to me?' And he always refused. He lived like a monk, absolutely alone in his cell, and he was worried that once he got married it would be difficult to live alone, this woman would force her way into his room. So he kept on postponing.

"When he finally decided, Berlin was falling and the bombs were falling on the street outside the house; he could hear the bombs exploding from his cell. He immediately asked for a priest to be called so that the marriage could be arranged. Marriage for what? – to commit suicide together. Perhaps most people do the same, not knowingly. Perhaps their three hours are very long; and the longer they are, the more tedious.

"A priest was somehow brought in. He quickly performed the marriage ceremony, and after the ceremony was over they drank poison and killed themselves. And his order was that petrol should be poured over them and they should be burned completely; not even a trace should be found – and that's how it was done.

"This man used to wake up every morning before sunrise. Not all monks are so religious. I know monks are supposed to get up before sunrise – but human beings are human beings."
