Close your eyes. Feel your body to be completely frozen.</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#3366ff">NOW LOOK INWARDS, with all your consciousness, with your total life energy, and with an urgency as if this is going to be your last moment.</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#3366ff">JUST LIKE A SPEAR, MOVE TOWARDS THE CENTER. At the center you are just a witness, a pure silent space, witnessing the body, the mind... also witnessing the flowers showering on you... also WITNESSING THAT YOUR INDIVIDUALITY IS DISSOLVING, THAT YOU ARE BECOMING A PART OF THE OCEAN.</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#3366ff">At this moment, when you are at the center of your being, you are a Buddha. And remember, the Buddha is not made of bones and blood and marrow. THE BUDDHA IS MADE ONLY OF WITNESSING. Whenever you are only a witness, you are a Buddha.</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#3366ff">And this is so simple, because it is so natural. It is your very being.</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#3366ff">This eternity... this universe is absolutely happy with you, is rejoicing with your silence.</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#3366ff">Make the witnessing absolutely clear.</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#3366ff">Nivedano...</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#3366ff">(Drumbeat)</font><img src="images/Oaho3.jpg" alt="" hspace="24" vspace="16" width="300" height="216" align="right" /></p><p><font size="3" color="#3366ff">RELAX, LET GO. Remember the last words of Ikkyu, &quot;So be it....&quot;</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#3366ff">Utterly silent, serene, the Buddha Auditorium has become a lake of consciousness. INDIVIDUALS ARE GONE; there is not even a ripple on the lake.</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#3366ff">YOU ARE BLESSED. At this moment, nowhere in the world ten thousand Buddhas are sitting in meditation, WITNESSING AND CREATING A TREMENDOUSLY POWERFUL ENERGY-FIELD.</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#3366ff">WE ARE TRYING TO REVIVE A GOLDEN PAST -- not of the ordinary masses, but only of the Buddhas.</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#3366ff">THE WORLD HAS ONLY ONE POSSIBILITY TO SURVIVE -- AND THAT POSSIBILITY IS TO SPREAD BUDDHAHOOD AROUND THE EARTH AS FAST AS YOU CAN. Otherwise, within twelve years this immensely beautiful planet will be simply dead -- nothing alive, not even a wild flower.</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#3366ff">And it is unfortunate because THIS IS THE ONLY PLANET IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE WHICH HAS GROWN TO THE POINT WHERE ONE CAN BECOME A BUDDHA, WHERE ONE CAN BECOME AN IMMORTAL. At this moment you are immortal. At this moment death does not exist for you.</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#3366ff">AT THIS MOMENT YOU HAVE THE VERY SECRET MIRACULOUS PRINCIPLE IN YOUR HANDS. Use it, be it -- there is no name for it -- sing it, dance it, but remain utterly silent about it. Saying anything about it is betraying the miraculous principle.</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#3366ff">SPREAD THE FIRE OF BUDDHAHOOD TO ALL THE NOOKS AND CORNERS OF THE EARTH. That is the only protection against nuclear weapons.</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#3366ff">Now collect as much of the experience as you can before Nivedano calls you back, AND PERSUADE THE BUDDHA -- GO ON PERSUADING EVERY DAY. Inch by inch, he will come closer to the circumference. Bring him with you.</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#3366ff">EVERYBODY IS PREGNANT WITH A BUDDHA. Just it takes a little time... because for centuries you have never thought about it. It is so new to think that you are a Buddha, so rebellious to think that you are a Buddha.</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#3366ff">But as far as I am concerned, this is a simple fact, a simple truth.</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#3366ff">Gather as much as you can.</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#3366ff">Nivedano...</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#3366ff">(Drumbeat)</font><img src="images/osho_1.jpg" alt="" hspace="24" vspace="16" width="300" height="291" align="right" /></p><p><font size="3" color="#3366ff">COME BACK -- but come with the same serenity, silence, grace, beauty, and sit down for few moments remembering the space you have been in, remembering the path, the golden path, that you have followed to reach to your center.</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#3366ff">And remember that at the center only witnessing is the truth. EVERYTHING DIES, ONLY WITNESSING REMAINS.</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#3366ff">WITNESSING IS OUR ETERNITY -- but live it in your actions, in your words, in your responses, in your silences, in your songs, in your dances.</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#3366ff">We can create a world of great splendor, in spite of all the idiots who are determined to destroy it.</font></p><p><font size="3" color="#3366ff">OSHO<br />Rinzai: Master of the Irrational<br />Ch #8: Holidays are not for saints<br />pm in Gautam the Buddha Auditorium</font></p><font size="3" color="#3366ff"><br /></font>
