CHAPTER 1. THE LANGUAGE OF SUDDENNESSI am going to dedicate many books because I don’t have anything else. I have just my words, myexperiences, my silences, my songs to dedicate to all those disciples who are keeping me alive.Without you I won’t wake up next morning – because what will I do? I don’t have anything else to doin the world. I have done everything long ago; in fact, I have overdone.Now my life is in your hands. If you want me to be here, I can go on postponing the date of mydeparture. But the day I see that there is no need for me to postpone anymore, I will tell you to beready for a great ceremony. But I feel right now, my garden is just a nursery.The buddhas are getting ready to wake up. A few have looked with one eye open, a few have lookedwith both eyes open, but have taken another turn and pulled their blanket over themselves. It is aquestion of struggle between me and you. How long are you going to remain hidden in your blanket?Sooner or later you will get tired. You cannot escape me, you have to become a buddha. Once youare a buddha, you are absolutely free to go around the world taking the fire, spreading it to all thenooks and corners of the world.My existence has no purpose other than this, that the world should have as many buddhas asquickly as possible before the politicians manage to commit a global suicide. Only a large numberof buddhas around the world can create the atmosphere of peace and love and compassion, wherewar becomes absolutely irrelevant. I am in a special situation that no other buddha ever has been.This book is dedicated to Anando in spite of her reluctance. She has behaved very unconsciouslyfor these two days. First, I am always worried about it that Maneesha is not allowed to take a holiday,migraine or no migraine, because if she is absent even for one evening – and I know she has thistrouble of migraine for years – somebody else has to take her place. But just to take her place forone day is dangerous. The taste of it, and then one starts thinking, ”Why should I not continue?” Itis almost as if you are made the king for one day. It will be difficult for your whole life.So first she freaked out because I still addressed Maneesha, care of Anando. I could see her faceand I could see her response. She did not like it, she wanted to be addressed directly. But I knew itwas better to be ”care of,” because tomorrow she would be gone. The same trouble happened withVimal. For a few days he was sitting with almost tears in his eyes. Once he has tasted the joy ofasking me the questions, and then he has to give back the place, his kingdom is taken away. Nowhe has come back to his right mind. I did not want to disturb him again. That’s why I ask Anando.And I have my own ways of working. In every way I try to find out some secret which needs to berevealed to the person. Anando may not be aware that she is never nice to anybody who is niceto her. She becomes nasty. It is her wrong upbringing from her childhood that she has carried.Secondly, she is never happy to receive anything. It needs courage. Perhaps you may not be aware.One loves to give, because by giving you are higher, but one has to learn to receive. At least whenyou are sitting at the feet of your master, you have to learn to receive. It hurts the ego that you areon the receiving end, not on the giving end.I wanted to see how she would receive it. She missed the point. First she freaked out aboutManeesha’s question, because she thought that Maneesha had indicated in it, that the horse came alittle early and disturbed my speech. Because she was one half of the horse, she thought Maneeshawas trying to raise the question again before the whole assembly, although there was no questionof Maneesha raising it.Hyakujo: The Everest of Zen, with Basho’s Haikus 10 Osho
CHAPTER 1. THE LANGUAGE OF SUDDENNESSManeesha was asking something else. She was trying to inquire about me, what my response wasto this suddenness. That’s why Avirbhava was not disturbed. She was the main part of the horse;Anando was just the back part. Avirbhava proved to be more alert and conscious, seeing that thequestion did not have anything to do with the coming in early. In fact the early coming was verygood: it surprised everybody except me. But I am crazy anyway.Nothing surprises me....For thirty-five years continuously I have been looking for something to surprise me. Nothingsurprises me. Even when a man a few years ago threw a knife at me, it did not surprise me. Ijust looked at the knife and I continued what I was doing. The man must have been surprised. I didnot even report the case. I did not go to the court. The court had to send their representative just toask me had such a thing happened?I said, ”It was not much, just a rotten old knife, and it has not hurt anybody. So fundamentally,nothing has happened, except the sound of the knife falling on the ground. Do you call it a crime?”The man said, ”You are strange. The police are putting the case before the court, and I have comehere as a representative of the court because you refused to come.”I said, ”In any case I would not be there. If the knife had killed me, I would not be there in the court.Now that the knife has not killed me, why should I be in the court?”The man said, ”What am I to say to the court?”I said, ”You just write down – I will sign it – that this case really happened: A man threw a knife; Iheard the noise. For a moment I stopped speaking so that the hassle with the man and the policeofficers stopped. They took him away. I continued my work.”The horse coming as a surprise to everybody – I really enjoyed it. The real Kalki, the Hindu whitehorse which is going to come within twelve years, the coming twelve years – any time – will not givea warning to you. It will come as suddenly as Avirbhava’s horse came. So it was absolutely proper– but Anando was hurt.But I can understand Avirbhava’s hurry. You should just imagine somebody inside a horse – onewants to get out as quickly as possible. And now she is going to bring elephants and crocodiles...and she will have to be inside them! Obviously she was in a hurry because the horse might havebroken in the middle. So as quickly as possible... It was a perfect performance.Anando was not exactly disturbed by it; that was a very superficial thing. She was disturbed becauseI called Maneesha a better reporter, a better recorder than Ramakrishna had in Swami Vivekananda,or Socrates had in Plato. She became hurt because she is doing so much work. She is workinghard on all the new books and their publication. She is in charge of the whole of publications and allof the construction that is going on in the ashram. Obviously she thought that Maneesha has beenpraised – and a subtle jealousy, and the female mind... I wanted them to be exposed.And the next day when I said that this new series was going to be dedicated to her, Anando freakedout even more – so much so that she is suffering from a fever which is absolutely psychological,Hyakujo: The Everest of Zen, with Basho’s Haikus 11 Osho
