Kashmiri people wear a typical type of dress which Osho likes
very much. He tells us to go to the studio and get our photos taken
in Kashmiri dress. We are excited with His idea and go for it.
After our photos are taken, we ask the cameraman if he can come
with us to take a photo of Osho on a horse wearing the Kashmiri
dress. He agrees to it.
Osho is sitting on the verandah with some friends. Seeing us
coming with a horse and cameraman, He understands our intention and
says, "Here comes the trouble."
Hearing this I tell Him, "You have troubled us all. Now please
get dressed in this Kashmiri dress. We want your picture on the
horse." Other friends are surprised with my remarks but Osho smiles
and gets up from the chair and says, "Okay, as you wish." Kranti
takes the package of the dress and goes with Him into the room.
I wonder how sometimes I talk with Osho so intimately like a
friend. I realize it is because of His love that we never feel Him
as separate and far above us. He allows us to open our hearts
towards Him without any pretension.
In a few minutes He comes out dressed in Kashmiri dress looking
like a Mughal emperor with mischievous smile on His face. The
cameraman is waiting with his horse on the ground near our cottage.
Osho walks gracefully and slowly to the horse and pats Him. He rides
on the horse, looks at us smilingly and the camera clicks. Next day,
we get this beautiful picture of Osho sitting on the horse like the
emperor of Kashmir.
