This is a fascinating recording of an interview with Osho, while at the commune in the USA, answering questions for the first time from the world’s press.
Osho continues:
"The destruction is becoming more and more probable than it was before.
"It is easy to control the politicians, convince the politicians not to go forward, but how to convince the virus that creates AIDS, and how to convince the people to turn away from all the perversions that religions have forced upon their sexuality? AIDS is the culmination of homosexuality, lesbianism and all kinds of perversions.
"But the source is the insistence of religions on celibacy, which is unnatural. If you force people to be celibate and you force men and women to live separately in monasteries and nunneries, homosexuality is bound to happen; you cannot prevent it, because man's sexuality will have to have to find some way out.
"And AIDS is the ultimate of that perversion. They don't know whether there is any possibility to find a cure for it. Almost all the experts are agreed that a person who has confirmed AIDS is going to die within two years. But within two years he can spread the disease to thousands of people. By sexual contact, just by kissing somebody… And a few experts even suspect that it may be contracted by breathing. Then we are in a wildfire which can spread all over the earth without any limitation.
"It seems everything is against humanity; it is as if this planet is going to die. That's why I started speaking again. I felt that seeing the death of the planet just as an observer, is irresponsibility. I have to respond to the situation. And I am spreading – through my sannyasins, through mass media, in every possible way – how we can destroy the idea of celibacy from religions, how we can convert homosexuals into heterosexuals, how we can convince the women's liberation movement that lesbianism is not liberation but sheer stupidity, and how we can create an atmosphere around the world that will force politicians to stop piling up more and more nuclear weapons.
"It is almost an impossible task, but not absolutely impossible, and when the life of the whole planet is at risk everything should be done to prevent it. Every intelligent man's door should be knocked on. It is time to take the challenge and come out."
