BASHO TOLD HOW HE FIRST MET WITH THE MASTER, NANTO.
HE SAID,  WHEN I WAS TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS OLD, I WENT ON A PILGRIMAGE, AND
REACHED WHERE NANTO WAS LIVING. ASCENDING THE ROSTRUM, NANTO SAID,  ALL YOU
PEOPLE, IF YOU ARE ENLIGHTENED, YOU WILL COME OUT OF YOUR MOTHER S WOMB AND
ROAR LIKE A LION. YOU KNOW WHAT THIS ROARING MEANS? 
BASHO ADDED,  IMMEDIATELY MY MIND AND BODY WERE RENDERED MOTIONLESS, AND I
STOPPED WITH HIM FOR FIVE YEARS.
Just the way he said  roaring , just the way he was, his presence, his heartbeat; and Basho lived
with him for five years without a single word passing between the master and the disciple.
And Basho became one of the greatest masters in his own right. He deserved it. Every man of
silence, of love, of no-mind is a born master. Whether he has disciples or not does not matter. The
master can be alone and yet be the master. His being a master does not depend on followers, on
disciples, but on his own awareness.
Turiya, this has to be the basic philosophy for the Anti-Hoff-Fischerman. I call it Hoff-Fischerman
because to say Hoffmann is not right. Man cannot be  half , even in Germany. Either man is total,
full or he is absent.
You have to work out, Turiya, in detail the process by which the ego is destroyed without destroying
the individuality. Individuality has to be sharpened, freedom has to be made more and more fragrant.
Everybody has to be given wings and the whole sky as their territory, unlimited.

Question 1
Maneesha has asked a question:
BELOVED OSHO,
OH DEAR! A LION NOW! HE SLIPPED IN AFTER ANOTHER SUTRA HAD ALREADY BEEN
SELECTED AND INSISTED ON BEING INCLUDED, SAYING YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND.
SORRY, BUT WHAT TO DO. I AM AFRAID THE WORD HAS SPREAD.
Don t be worried,
Sutra or no sutra, I am here to hit you awake. This sutra or another sutra... these are just
arbitrary means. I will use every possible means to destroy your unconsciousness and sleep. I
want thousands of flames around me, dancing in a festival of lights.
Before you start your meditation, a few cold drinks will be good.
Old man Finkelstein manages to get a date with his secretary, Miss Willing, but is worried about
his aging equipment. So he goes to see Dr. Bones and asks for something to restore his youthful
vigor. Bones gives him two pills and says,  Take these with your dinner tonight and you will be able
to perform like a bull.
So Fink and Miss Willing go to the best restaurant in town and when they have ordered their soup,
Fink calls the waiter and says,  Put these pills into my soup before you serve it.
The waiter disappears. They wait for half an hour and still the soup has not been served, so Fink
angrily calls the waiter and says,  What the hell has happened to our soup?
 I am sorry, sir, replies the waiter,  but I put the pills into your soup and now I am waiting for the
noodles to lie down again.
Every time Tex rides his horse through the Indian village, he waves cheerfully at the old chief. In
reply, the old chief holds up his hand with his middle finger pointing upwards. Then he turns his
hands so that his finger points horizontally.
Tex gets curious to know what the old chief is trying to communicate to him. So, one day, he gets
off his horse in the Indian village and goes to the chief s tent.  I know what it means, says Tex,
 when you wave at me with the finger straight up. But what does it mean when you turn your finger
sideways?
 It means, says the old chief,  that I don t like your horse, either!
Father O Leary goes to a farm in order to buy a horse. He sees a beautiful one that he likes and
asks if he can try it.
 Sure, says the farmer,  but I have to tell you something. That horse used to belong to the bishop,
and if you want the horse to move, you have to say,  My God! and if you want him to stop, you have
to say,  Hallelujia .

CHAPTER 6. GORILLA, SIR, BE A GENTLEMAN
 That s okay, says the priest and jumps up on the horse and says,  My God! The horse promptly
moves off and Father O Leary is seen galloping into the mountains.
The priest is shouting,  My God! My God! and the horse is really moving. But suddenly, Father
O Leary sees that they are coming to the edge of a cliff and in panic he yells,  Stop! Stop! but the
horse keeps on going. Then he remembers and shouts,  Hallelujia!
The horse stops, right on the edge of the cliff, and, looking down, Father O Leary says,  My God!
Rupesh...
I am going to watch that nobody remains silent. You are so full of gibberish. Throw it out! First clean
the ground, then silence descends on its own.
Rupesh, give the first beat.
(Drumbeat)
(Gibberish)
Rupesh...
(Drumbeat)
Be silent. Gather yourself inwards.
Close your eyes.
No movement. Just be.
Beautiful is the moment
and blessed you are.
Rupesh...
(Drumbeat)
Fall dead. Let the body breathe but you go on, in and in.
This is the door from animal to man,
from mind to no-mind,
the quantum leap.
Fearlessly enter into your interiority.

CHAPTER 6. GORILLA, SIR, BE A GENTLEMAN
This is you.
Feel it, rejoice in it.
This moment contains eternity.
Rupesh...
(Drumbeat)
Bring everybody back to life.
One more beat. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
