CHAPTER 6. THE DISCIPLE IS THE SEEDAll the religions have been action oriented. Don’t do this, don’t do that – they are all commandments.The question is not of your doing, the question is of your being. Be in a conscious state, then dowhatever comes out of your spontaneity – and it is right. If it does not come as a spontaneousconscious response, then even if the whole world says it is good, it is not good. The ultimatecriterion is not the action. The ultimate criterion is the origin.The mind is capable of doing both. It can be a slave, as it is to millions of people. Very rarely is themind completely free from objects, desires, anger, and just a simple empty space, no-mind.So we can say it in this way: if you act through mind, it is wrong; if you act through no-mind, it isright.A haiku by Basho:BIRTH OF ART –SONG OF RICE PLANTERS,CHORUS FROM NOWHERE.If you are utterly silent, then everything that happens in that silence, takes a new color. It becomesthe birth of very art. ”Song of rice planters” – it is not much of a music. Poor rice planters, justto keep them engaged, they are singing in chorus. But a man of silence, immediately makes orgives a glamor to the ordinary stones. ”Song of rice planters, chorus from nowhere.” As far as he isconcerned he is utterly silent, so he wonders from where this chorus is coming. The whole existencehas become a chorus, a beautiful symphony. Our lives can be lived as music, as poetry, as art... asmystics. Those are the right ways to live our lives. Right, because to live those styles, you will haveto find your origin first.Question 1Maneesha has asked:BELOVED OSHO,WHAT IS THE URGE TO UNDERSTAND?Maneesha, the urge to understand comes from your very nature. The mystery of existence wantsyou to become a shareholder. The mystery of existence does not want you to stand outside, but tocome inside the temple. It is too hot outside, it is perfectly cool inside.The urge to understand is absolutely a part of intelligence. Intelligence wants to know, who is therewithin me; from where comes my love, my tears, my laughter? One does not want to remain ignorantof his own house.The urge to understand is the only hope for man. If there is no urge to understand, there will not beany mysticism, and there will not be any poetry; there will not be any music, there will not be anyHyakujo: The Everest of Zen, with Basho’s Haikus 94 Osho
CHAPTER 6. THE DISCIPLE IS THE SEEDdance. There will be only a deep sadness, a suicidal sadness, that what is the point of going onliving because the urge to understand, the meaning of life is missing. But fortunately the urge is notsomething to be learned from somebody else. The urge is there in you. You may have repressed itas much as you want, but in the right season, in the right time, in the right moment, if you encountera man who knows, suddenly the urge will surface. That is one of the criteria of meeting a master.People have asked me again and again, ”How to decide that we have met the master?” If meetinga man, you suddenly feel that you would also like to be in the same space, in the same joy, in thesame song, the urge to understand has arisen. This urge makes you a disciple, and a disciple isjust the beginning of a master. The disciple is the seed and the master is the flowers.Now it is Anando’s time....Olga Kowalski is chatting to her friend, Rosa, over a cup of coffee.”If you ask me,” says Olga, ”the television is a stupid invention.””Why is that?” asks Rosa, munching on a cookie.”Well,” says Olga, ”all it is, is crime – or sex!””Really?” replies Rosa.”I’m sick of it,” says Olga. ”Whenever I switch the TV on at night, all I see is violence!””Then why don’t you switch it off?” suggests Rosa.”Well if I do that,” replies Olga, ”then Kowalski wants to have sex!”Gorgeous Gloria goes to see Robin Meany, the show business agent, and asks him to see her act.Gloria places a large orange on the floor, and then begins to do a sensational strip to music. Whenshe is completely naked and the music reaches its climax, Gloria suddenly sinks to the floor, legswide apart, on top of the orange. And when she rises again, the orange has disappeared.”That is fantastic!” cries Robin. ”A real knockout! I can get you a job in a Paris night club, startingtomorrow.””No, not Paris,” says Gloria, nervously. So Robin gets her a job in Berlin instead.Two weeks later, Robin calls Gloria on the phone. ”Good news!” he says. ” I have bookings for youin Hamburg, Rome, Cairo and Paris.””No! Not Paris,” says Gloria.”What the hell is the matter with Paris, for Christ’s sake,” snaps Robin.”Well, you see, ” says Gloria, ”in Paris, my mother does the same act with a water melon!”Hyakujo: The Everest of Zen, with Basho’s Haikus 95 Osho
