CHAPTER 4. LIE DOWN AND WITNESSBut this century we understand mind more than any century before. And if you are a meditator,then you can understand the no-mind also more, because your understanding of the mind and theunconscious layers of the mind is far more accurate and more scientific. The difference is simplybetween a bullock cart and a Rolls Royce. They belong to the same lineage. A Rolls Royce is thebullock cart refined and refined and refined... then it becomes a Rolls Royce. Hyakujo belongs tothe age of bullock carts – a man of tremendous understanding, but don’t hope that he can fix a RollsRoyce. He can only fix a bullock cart perfectly well.So when I am speaking on these people, I cannot remain just confined to their meaning. I have toraise the meaning of their statements to the heights of my consciousness. As far as I am concernedI have never spoken on anybody else other than myself. These are just excuses – Hyakujo or MaTzu... These are just excuses so that I can say to you things about humanity which have beenforgotten completely. But when I say something, I make it as grand and as great as possible.Now it is Anando time.Before I ask Nivedano, I have to change the dedication of this series again, and I hope I will not haveto change it again. Now the dedication will be: Dedicated to Anando who has gone astray and hascome back home.Now, Anando,(Drumbeat)(Gibberish)(Drumbeat)Be silent, close your eyes. Feel your body to be completely frozen. Now look inwards withtremendous urgency as if this is the last moment of your life. Gather all your consciousness. Itbecomes like an arrow reaching to the very center of your being.This center is the only unmoving part in the universe. Everything is changing around it. Only thiscenter remains unchanging. Its only quality is single: that is witnessing. It has no other qualities. Itis just a mirror.To make it more clear...Nivedano...(Drumbeat)Relax, watch the body as separate, the mind as separate. You are just a witness. Dive deep in yourwitnessing. The buddha is another name of witnessing.The evening was beautiful in itself, but you have given it all your splendor of silence. You have madeit more beautiful by your witnessing. It is going to prove a milestone in your life.Hyakujo: The Everest of Zen, with Basho’s Haikus 70 Osho
CHAPTER 4. LIE DOWN AND WITNESSJust gather all the flowers and the fragrance from this silent space, so that you can bring it fromthe center to the circumference, so that you can live as a buddha in the ordinary life without anyhesitation, without any doubt, without any suspicion.All the buddhas are pointing to only one truth: that every being intrinsically is a buddha. In silentwitnessing you come across yourself. Don’t lose the thread.When you come back, bring the buddha with you. This is what Buddha calls suchness. This is whyhe is called tathagat. This moment you have all dissolved into an ocean of witnessing.All separation is dropped.You are no more – only existence is.Rejoice in this transformation,Nivedano...(Drumbeat)Come back, but bring all the fragrance with you. You have to live it twenty-four hours.Sit silently for a few moments, without any doubt you are the buddha – a living buddha. It is yourintrinsic nature.Today everything has gone upside down, but it is a good experience. Every day you used to laughbefore being a buddha. Today you have to laugh after being a buddha.Anando, this is your time....Hamish MacTavish goes out fishing in his old row boat.He sits, gently rocking on the waves all day, but doesn’t catch a thing. He is just about to pack upand row back to the shore, when he feels a little nibble on his line. He hauls in the line, but all hehas caught is a tiny little silver cod – not even enough for a mouthful.Not wanting to go home empty-handed, Hamish is about to throw the fish into his bag, when it opensits tiny mouth and says, ”Stop! I am Dagon, the God of the Cod. And if you save my life, I will grantyou three wishes.”Hamish is amazed and can’t believe his luck. He is about to give his first wish when Dagon says,”Stop! Remember, I am a very compassionate god, and whatever you wish for, your worst enemywill get double.””Okay,” says Hamish. ”My first wish is for one million dollars.””Granted,” replies the God of the cod. ”But Paddy Murphy gets two million.”Hyakujo: The Everest of Zen, with Basho’s Haikus 71 Osho
