The Master said, "Then you seek somewhere else, because you will have to listento me. Howsoever absurd the demand, you will have to fulfill it. That's how youwill become ready to let go. I know chopping wood has nothing to do with truth,but to be ready to chop it -- because the Master has said it -- has something to dowith truth. I know working in the kitchen has nothing to do with truth: so manypeople are working, every housewife is working -- if that was the way to attain,then everybody would attain. It has nothing to do with truth, but when I say thatyou have to do it, you have to do it in deep love and trust. That will prepare you,that has something to do with truth. But I cannot reveal that to you right now;you will have to wait."Reluctantly the seeker said, "Okay, but I would also like to know: what are theduties of a Master? "The Master said, "The duty of the Master is to sit around and order."The disciple said, "Then please help me to become a Master, train me to become aMaster. I am ready."The ego is always seeking its own enhancement. The ego is the barrier: becauseof the ego, your pot is upside down. The rain goes on falling, and you remainempty.On the part of the disciple, initiation means allowing the Master to doWHATSOEVER -- unconditionally. And on the part of the Master, it is possibleonly when he has attained at least the first satori. Otherwise you can be initiatedby a thousand and one Masters and you will not attain anything. When thesetwo things are fulfilled, these two requirements fulfilled, then a communionhappens between the Master and the disciple.This communion happened that day. Jesus was opened, as they say in Subud.Jesus was opened by John the Baptist and the spirit of God descended on himlike a dove:AND LO A VOICE FROM HEAVEN, SAYING, THIS IS MY BELOVED SON, INWHOM I AM WELL PLEASED.This happens always. Whenever someone opens up to heaven, it is always heard.Deep down in the heart it resounds: THIS IS MY BELOVED SON, IN WHOM IAM WELL PLEASED.This has been taken wrongly in Christianity. They think Jesus is the only son ofGod -- foolish. The whole existence comes from God, the whole existence isrelated to God as son to father.A few things to be understood. It would have been better if we had thought ofGod as mother because the son is more deeply related to the mother. He lives inthe womb, he is part of the mother -- blood and bones and flesh and everything.But there is a very significant meaning in thinking of God as father. It is notbaseless.Father is indirect, mother is direct. You know who your mother is; you simplybelieve who your father is. The mother knows for certain that you are her son,but the father believes. Father is indirect, mother is very direct. And God is notCome Follow To You Vol 1Osho
so direct, God is very indirect. He fathered you. That means you are related toHim, but the relationship is one of trust: a belief, a deep faith. You will come toknow your father only when you trust.Mother is more of a scientific fact, empirical; father is more a poetical fact, not soempirical. Mother is very close, in fact too close; father is very far away,somewhere up in the sky. To feel for the mother is instinctive; to feel for thefather-one has to learn it. Mother is already there. God has to be discovered.So the symbol of father is also very meaningful, it carries some hidden meaningsin it. And whenever it happens to anybody that the heart opens up and the dovedescends, this is always heard: THIS IS MY BELOVED SON, IN WHOM I AMWELL PLEASED.Why is God well-pleased? You have come back home. You went astray, you didall sorts of things irrelevant to your being. You have repented, you have comeback home.The whole existence is pleased. The whole existence is pleased wheneversomebody becomes a Christ or a Buddha, the whole existence celebrates, becauseif even one person becomes a Buddha or a Christ the whole existence becomes, ina way, more aware and alert.Certainly the world was different before Jesus than after Jesus. The trees weremore alert after Jesus and the rocks were more alive after Jesus because hisconsciousness, the attainment of his consciousness, spread all over the existence.It has to be so. Flowers flower more. They may not be aware, but the very qualityof the whole has changed. If even one drop of consciousness attains to God, thewhole ocean cannot be the same. That one drop has raised the being of thewhole, the quality is different.You cannot conceive of yourself if there was no Buddha and no Christ, noKrishna. Just remove twelve names from history and the whole of history willdisappear. Then humanity will not be there. In fact the existence that you knowaround you will not be there. You will be far more asleep and unconscious, youwill have gone far more astray. You will be far more violent, aggressive: theglimmer of love that beats in your heart will not be there, the grace thatsometimes appears in your eyes will not be there. Your eyes will be more likeanimals' -- ferocious, violent.But when a Jesus has happened, his eyes become part of your eyes -- a veryminute part, but still. Sometimes it happens that that part spreads all over youreyes and you look at existence in a totally different way. The world remains thesame but your eye changes and, with your eye, the whole changes.In your heart a very minute part has become Buddha with Buddha, Christ withChrist, Krishna with Krishna. I know it is a very minute part, but the possibilityto grow exists with it. Look deep down within yourself to the part that has beencontributed by Christ or Buddha. Protect it, help it to grow, sacrifice all that youhave for it to grow, and you will be on the right track. Let that part win, let thatpart be victorious, let the Galilean win within you, and immediately -- wheneverCome Follow To You Vol 1Osho
