CHAPTER 20. SURRENDER: THE EGO UPSIDE DOWN
How many parts you have – and they’re all functioning in harmony; you are not even aware of it.
Everything is going on so silently that scientists say that if we were to make such a mechanism that
works so silently and does all the work that the body does, we would need at least a one square
mile area to make it in the factory.
Even today it is not possible to turn bread into blood – how your body does it is an everyday miracle.
Millions of living cells are within you; you are almost a city. There are seven million living cells,
perhaps having a certain small brain of their own, because their work is so intelligent you cannot
say they don’t have any brain.
Everything is being shifted, is being supplied to the place where it is needed. Care is even being
taken by those small cells inside you so that the nourishment should reach first to the parts which
are most essential. Your brain gets the nourishment first, the legs can wait a little.
But if just for few minutes – I think six minutes – your brain does not get oxygen, it starts
disintegrating. So the first thing – and how these small cells are doing and deciding it is a mystery
– oxygen should reach to the brain. When the brain’s need is fulfilled, then second-grade organs,
third-grade organs, fourth-grade organs.... That way it should move.
You are a city of seven million living beings. This is an organization, and this is what it should be. All
our separate organs should be connected, helping each other, remembering where help is needed
more, and first; and remembering that your whole function is to be enlightened, so the torch of
enlightenment remains burning. There is no gap. And I’m taking every care that there will be no
gap.
Bodhidharma will feel jealous of me!
