CHAPTER 7. THE LAST MILESTONEThe center of your being is the target, because at the center of your being you are the buddha.As you reach to the center flowers start showering on you. A new fragrance, a new cool breeze, anew silence – you are entering into another world.The buddha is the last milestone.Once you have reached the buddha, you can take a jump into the beyond. Then words lose meaning.Only a silent, luminous life remains with a music of its own, with no movement – but a great dance.This is the other world beyond the world in which we live. Both are real, but the first world consistsof ordinary objects, and the other inner world consists of great mysteries and miracles. You have tolearn to be a witness to both. The outer and the inner, both are realities and there is also somethingmore than a reality: that is your witness.Go beyond the outer and the inner both.Go beyond duality, and a grace starts falling over you like rain. In this great moment you are not,only existence is, with all its glories, eternities – unbounded.This is the world the mystic has been working to enter in. Just as the scientist is trying to work inthe objective world, the mystic’s work is far greater. First he has to enter the inner, and then he hasto transcend both, the inner and the outer. That transcendental is beyond words; nobody has eversaid anything about it.To make the transcendental clear,Nivedano...(Drumbeat)Relax. Just be a witness of the body, of the mind, of anything that is happening.Remain just a mirror.This is your very origin. This is not divided. This is one whole continent. At this moment the tenthousand buddhas are no longer ten thousand – just one nature, one silent flowering, one peacefulwatcher.Collect as much joy as possible, as much awareness as possible, because you have to remain abuddha twenty-four hours in a lower kind of reality.But keep the cleanness of your mirror whatever you are doing. Then every act and gesture becomesa prayer, a gratitude. And from all over, blessings go on coming to you. You had not asked for them,you had not even known that they exist. But when the heart is empty, the whole existence becomesimmensely compassionate to you.Gather all these flowers, these fragrances. When you come back, come back as a buddha.Hyakujo: The Everest of Zen, with Basho’s Haikus 108 Osho

CHAPTER 7. THE LAST MILESTONENivedano...(Drumbeat)Come back, silently, peacefully, gracefully. Sit down for a few moments, collecting the space youhave been in, remembering that this is the way you have to be twenty-four hours. Only then you willbe capable to know the great existence and its hidden treasure.Okay, Maneesha?Yes, Osho.Can we celebrate?Yes, Osho!Hyakujo: The Everest of Zen, with Basho’s Haikus 109 Osho
