This is the right moment to look inwards  with your total consciousness, with your absolute life
energy, and with an urgency as if this is going to be your last moment on the earth.
Deeper and deeper...
The deeper you move, you will start feeling a new space, a new coolness, a new freshness, a great
silence descending on you. And when you reach to the center of your being, you are the blessed
one, the buddha.

CHAPTER 3. OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS TREMENDOUS
This is your Dharmakaya, the body of religiousness. You have gone beyond the body and mind, and
entered into a space where you can have only one quality, the quality of being a witness.
This is the most glorious phenomenon. This takes you beyond you, to the ultimate sources of
existence.
Just be a witness of everything that is happening  the silence, the peace, the joy  and suddenly
you feel invisible flowers showering on you. A new life force, utterly fresh...
But you remain just a witness. Don t get identified  just remain a watcher.
The body is not you, the mind is not you; you are only the witness. That is your eternity, that is your
very nature.
To make it absolutely sure, Nivedano...
(drumbeat)
Relax...
But go on keeping the witnessing.
The body is lying down, the head is there, but you are neither.
You have entered into the ultimate space of your being. From this very space you had come; now
you are returning to the womb.
In this moment, Gautam the Buddha Auditorium has become a vast ocean without even a single
ripple, an ocean of consciousness. Your separation from existence has melted away. You are one
with the whole. You are the whole.
Collect as much blissfulness and ecstasy... and persuade the buddha that is your intrinsic nature to
come with you, because the moment your center and your circumference of life become one, you
are enlightened, you are the awakened one. You have fulfilled the mission of your life.
This moment you are the most blessed people on the earth.
The evening was very beautiful on its own, but your honest, intense effort to reach to the source of
your being has made it a miracle, a miracle evening.
The greatest miracle I know of is to know your innermost being. All else is just street magic.
Persuade the buddha.
He has to become your day-to-day activities.
Chopping wood, carrying water from the well, you have to remain the buddha. In the marketplace or
in your own house sitting silently, you have to remain the buddha.

CHAPTER 3. OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS TREMENDOUS
The buddha simply means the one who is aware, the one who is awakened, the one who is just a
pure witness.
Nivedano...
(drumbeat)
Call all the buddhas back.
Come back as silently, as peacefully, as gracefully as possible, remaining a witness all the time.
Sit down for a few moments just to remember the golden path you have gone through, the miraculous
center that you have touched  the beautitude, the blissfulness that you are carrying with your
breathing and with your heartbeat, the dance that you have seen, the dance that you have become.
I call this the buddha: the ultimate dance of being.
Okay, Maneesha?
Yes, Beloved Master.

CHAPTER 4
Now it is my turn
11 January 1989 pm in Gautam the Buddha Auditorium
OUR BELOVED MASTER,
ONCE, A MONK ASKED MASTER NAN-YIN,  WHAT IS YOUR SPECIAL TEACHING?
NAN-YIN REPLIED,  IN AUTUMN WE REAP; IN WINTER WE STORE.
ANOTHER MONK ASKED NAN-YIN,  WHAT IS THE WAY?
NAN-YIN ANSWERED,  A KITE FLIES ACROSS THE GREAT SKY; NOTHING REMAINS THERE.
ON ANOTHER OCCASION, NAN-YIN ASCENDED THE ROSTRUM AND SAID,  ABOVE THE
MASS OF RED FLESH STANDS ONE AT AN IMMEASURABLE HEIGHT.
A MONK THEN CAME OUT FROM THE ASSEMBLY AND SAID,  ISN T THIS  ABOVE THE MASS,
AND SO ON, THE MASTER S WAY?
NAN-YIN REPLIED,  THAT S SO.
AT THAT, THE MONK THEN OVERTURNED THE ZEN SEAT.
NAN-YIN SAID,  LOOK WHAT A ROUGH, WILD FELLOW YOU ARE!
THE MONK DIDN T KNOW WHAT TO SAY OR DO AND NAN-YIN DROVE HIM OUT OF THE
TEMPLE.

CHAPTER 4. NOW IT IS MY TURN
Friends,
I have been called for almost thirty years, a  so-called Bhagwan, a  self-styled Bhagwan. This was
in condemnation of me. I patiently waited for the right moment. The right moment has come. Now it
is my turn.
I call all the founders of all the religions, self-styled and so-called. The people who have been calling
me so-called and self-styled did not realize that they were provoking me. Now I want to know what
the conditions are that have to be fulfilled.
Jesus calls himself the only begotten son of God. What do you think?  is it self-styled, so-called,
or was there some committee determining it? Was it an election? Was it a degree conferred by any
university? [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
