Osho occupies the window seat and I sit next to Him. He tells me that He needs to rest and I have to make sure no one disturbs Him. I nod my head in assurance and He closes His eyes.
After about half
an hour our breakfast of tea and toast has arrived. I keep the tray on
the little shelf which is attached to the back of the seat in front.
I am confused wondering if I should disturb Him or not. I just look at
Him and to my surprise He opens His eyes and smiles. I can’t believe this,
He looked like He was sleeping deeply. Without saying anything, He fixes
the shelf in front of Him and I place the tray on it. He eats the toast
and tea with such a joy as if He is eating the most delicious breakfast.
When I sip the tea it is like cold water. I tell Him, “The tea is very
cold, You should not be drinking it. I will call for fresh hot tea.” He
says, “Don’t be bothered, it is okay.” To my surprise, at the very moment
the waiter comes rushing to us with a fresh hot tea pot and says, “Have
this fresh tea and return the previous one.” Osho gives the waiter a big
smile and thanks him. As I am pouring the fresh tea for Him, Osho says,
“Just a little patience is needed.”
After finishing His
tea, He looks at His watch and closes His eyes again.
