Osho continues:
"Middle age is when you are home on Saturday night, the telephone rings and you hope it is not for you.

"Middle age is when you change from stud to dud.

"Middle age is when you stop criticizing the older generation and start criticizing the younger one.

"These are just symptoms I am telling you, so…!

"People who have been here with me for almost ten or twelve years cannot be sexually repressed. That is my whole condemnation all over the world; you can call it my reputation. And asking me a question about sexual repression is just destroying my reputation!

"Two men sitting in a bar were commiserating about married life. 'I know a man,' says one, 'who has been married for thirty years and he spends every evening at home.'

"'That's what I call love,' says the other.

"'Oh, really?' replied the first, 'the doctor called it paralysis.'

"It all depends how you take it.

"You are not sexually repressed. You suddenly remembered that you are an English lady…where are you?…what are you doing here?

"A commissar was visiting a collective farm to check on the season's crops. 'How are the potatoes?' he inquired.

"'The potatoes are so plentiful,' a farmer replied, 'that if we put them end to end they will touch the feet of God.'

"'How can that be?' blurted the commissar, 'there is no God.'

"'Well,' the farmer answered, 'there are no potatoes either.'

"Shunyo, all that has happened is that that crazy Milarepa has escaped from you. But don't be worried; he is crazy enough, he will come back.

"You can rely on me, I will see to it that the poor fellow comes back. He will roam about in the ashram a few days. You enjoy the freedom, and don't be worried; he cannot get lost. Finally he is going to come to you.

"This has been going on for years. I have been watching it, I have never said anything to you. It is not something new. Hundreds of times he must have left you and he has come back. He is a very tame fellow. You have just to give him enough rope, so that he can enjoy the idea that he is free."
