"In a very simple question you have touched many implications. I would like to go into those implications, because without understanding them your question cannot be answered sincerely and authentically.
"In the days in Mumbai..."

Osho continues:
"I was traveling from Udaipur to Chittaurgarh in Rajasthan. I was alone in the first class compartment. Suddenly I felt somebody massaging my feet.

"I said, 'Who are you and why are you unnecessarily disturbing my sleep?'

"He said, 'You keep quiet!'

"I said, 'This is strange. These are my feet.'

"He said, 'You simply keep quiet. I am very angry and I am very much frustrated, because I am also coming from the Udaipur meditation camp. They did not allow me to massage your feet and those guys were always surrounding you, so I thought, 'Let us wait, because he will pass through Chittaurgarh.' So I left ahead of you and I have been waiting here. Now nobody can prevent me. And I know certainly that you are so loving, you will not prevent me.'

"I said, 'I am loving and I don't want to prevent you, but you should also be compassionate towards me…tired after a seven day camp. I had just fallen asleep.'

"But he wouldn't listen. For two hours continuously…. I had to persuade him, 'If you don't listen to me then I will have to pull the chain and call the conductor.'

"He said, 'My God, I had never thought about that. You can do that.'

"I said, 'I have every birthright to protect myself, at least from people like you who can't see a simple thing: I am tired and I don't want to talk, I want to sleep.'

"Just with this threat, he got off at a small station somewhere. But from the window he said, 'At least touch my head.'

"I said, 'You have tired me for two hours continuously massaging my feet, and now I have to massage your head!'

"He said, 'You do it, otherwise I will enter the compartment again.'

"I had to do it. He was very happy.

"I was staying in a university campus, taking a meditation camp, and in the afternoon when I was sleeping, I suddenly became aware that somebody was walking on the roof. So I opened my eyes and what I saw…a professor had removed a tile and he was looking at me.

"I said, 'Hello! Why can't you come through the front door? Are you going to jump on me?'

"He said, 'At the front door they don't allow me."
