Part V : Osho writes many letters to friends

I have always loved. Addresses have changed, but I have been writing love letters my whole life. last108

All saints are averse to writing. They sing, they speak, they dance, they indicate, but they don't write. To write something is to make it very limited. A word is a limitation; only then can it be a word. If it is unlimited it will be the sky, containing all the stars. That's what a saint's experience is.
Even I myself have not written anything...just a few letters to those who were very intimate to me, thinking, or perhaps believing, that they will understand. I don't know whether they understood or not. So my book A Cup of Tea is the only book that can be said to have been written by me. It is a compilation of my letters. Otherwise I have not written anything. books07

I can talk only to persons. That's why I have never written a book. I cannot! - because for whom? Who will read it? Unless I know that man who will read it, and unless he creates a situation, I cannot write - for whom? I have written only letters, because then I know that I am writing to somebody. He may be somewhere in the United States, it makes no difference - the moment I write a letter to him it is a personal phenomenon: he is there. While I am writing he helps me to write. Without him it is not possible; it is a dialogue. suprem10
