Once someone inquired Osho at a gathering, “Acharya ji, People touch your feet, why don’t you prevent them?”
Osho : “I do not have even this insistence that I should ask someone not to touch my feet. If someone wishes so, what right do I have to stop him? If someone puts his head on the feet, it is his will and if someone comes to put his feet on the head, then too it is his wish. I will not stop him too. Who am I to dictate someone ‘to do’ a certain thing or ‘not to do’ a certain thing? No, from my side, there is no insistence at all.”
Osho lived in Bombay for some time. One day, a woman came to see Him. Instead of greeting Him, she gave one slap on His face. Osho felt neither alarmed nor volatile at the unexpected behaviour of the woman.
In a soft and tender voice, Osho asked, “Do you have anything more to say?” Instantly, she gave another slap on the other side of the face. Even at this, He asked the same, “Anything more?” Now that poor woman replied, “I wanted to test whether you are a real saint?”
Osho transcended one and all. That’s why all were attracted towards Him - friends and foes alike.
