10. Deserted, sick and facing jail – social service provides shelter

Sick with Hepatitis, Arjava escapes to Germany, avoiding prison. Only to be invited to Osho's Oregon commune after a stint of social work!

Weak with Hepatitis, Arjava learns that Osho has left overnight to USA. America is out of reach and in Germany a jail sentence hangs over him. With the help of a former policeman his desperate odyssey ends in Germany. He is pardoned but has to do social service for 18 months helping the elderly and needy.

Then, just as his social service ends, he receives a letter from the infamous Sheela, Osho's powerful secretary: "We need help in our new community. Would you come and join us in Oregon?"

I'm lying there sick and weak. What am I going to do now?
