CHAPTER 7. THREE FRIENDS Death looks ugly to you because you have never known life, and death creates fear in you because you are afraid of life. Remember, whatsoever your attitude towards life, your attitude towards death will be the same. If you are scared of death you are scared of life; if you love life, you will love death, because death is nothing but the highest peak, the completion. The song reaches its end, the river falls into the ocean. The river came from the ocean in the first place. Now the circle is complete, the river has arrived at the whole. THEN THE DISCIPLE OF CONFUCIUS BURST IN ON THEM AND EXCLAIMED: ”MAY I INQUIRE WHERE YOU FOUND THIS IN THE RUBRICS FOR OBSEQUIES, THIS FRIVOLOUS CAROLING IN THE PRESENCE OF THE DEPARTED?” The disciple of Confucius cannot understand them. To him they look frivolous, disrespectful. What type of song is this? Where did you get it? It is not authorized, it is not from the Vedas. MAY I INQUIRE WHERE YOU FOUND THIS...? Everything should be done according to the books, according to The Bible, to the Vedas. But life cannot be according to the books – life always transcends books, it always goes beyond; life always throws books aside, moves ahead. Where have you found this, this frivolous caroling in the presence of the departed? You should be respectful. Someone has departed, someone is dead and what are you doing? This is profane! THE TWO FRIENDS LOOKED AT EACH OTHER AND LAUGHED: ”POOR FELLOW, HE DOESN’T KNOW THE NEW LITURGY!” He doesn’t know the new scripture, he doesn’t know the new religion. And that is what is happening here every day – the new liturgy. A man was here just a few days ago, a professor of history, and he asked me, ”To what tradition do you belong?” I said, ”To no tradition.” He had come here from America to make a film of the meditation techniques, of the camp, of what I say, of what is happening here. The moment he heard that I don’t belong to any tradition, he simply disappeared. Then I don’t belong to history, it is obvious. The Empty Boat 134 Osho
