Title

Excerpted text on the role of sannyasins

Description

Brief text on the role of 'sannyasins', or spiritual leaders, excerpted from a book by Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, 'The Mustard Seed: Discourses on the Sayings of Jesus Taken from the Gospel According to Thomas.' This photocopied excerpt was once included in Bob Oliver's 'Guru File,' which was a collection of material collected in Governor Atiyeh's office related to the Rajneesh's background. The text discusses the Rajneesh belief about spiritual leaders in comparison to other religious teachings, such as that of Buddha and Jesus. Circled and highlighted text on page 47 reads that a sannyasin must be an effective actor.
