WHY DO YOU CALL YOUR RELIGION THE FIRST AND THE LAST RELIGION?
It is a little difficult for me to speak again. It has been difficult always, because I have been trying to
speak the unspeakable. Now it is even more so.
After one thousand, three hundred and fifteen days of silence, it feels as if I am coming to you from
a totally different world. In fact it is so. The world of words, language, concepts, and the world
of silence are so diametrically opposite to each other, they don’t meet anywhere. They can’t meet
by their very nature. Silence means a state of wordlessness; and to speak now, it is as if to learn
language again from ABC. But this is not a new experience for me; it has happened before too.
For thirty years I have been speaking continually. It was such a tension because my whole being was
pulled towards silence, and I was pulling myself towards words, language, concepts, philosophies.
There was no other way to convey, and I had a tremendously important message to convey. There
was no way to shirk the responsibility. I had tried it. The day I realized my own being, it was such a
fulfillment that I became silent. There was nothing left to be asked.
