Question 1
Maneesha has asked:
BELOVED BUDDHA,
WITH OR WITHOUT ANYONE ELSE IN RESIDENCE IN YOU, WHATEVER NAME WE KNOW YOU BY, YOU ARE INFINITELY PRECIOUS TO US. AS KATUE ISHIDA SAID OF YOU, "WE MUST PROTECT THIS MAN."
HOW CAN WE BEST DO THAT?
Maneesha, if you really want to protect me, the only way is to grow up, to be more mature, to be more integrated, to be more in tune with the dance of the divine.
No ordinary means will be able to nourish me. But if I can see your dance, if I can feel your love, if I can see in your eyes the cool flames of unconditional sharing, you may be able to follow Ishida's indication to save this man.
Now it is time for Sardar Gurudayal Singh.
Mendel Kravitz goes to see Doctor Floss, the dentist.
"Mr. Kravitz," says Floss, "I am sorry to say you need a complete dental overhaul -- side to side and top to bottom. It will cost you five thousand dollars."
"Sorry? You're sorry? I'm sorry!" cries Mendel. "Five thousand dollars? I cannot afford that!"
"Well," says Floss, "I can recommend another dentist who is sure to be a lot cheaper."
So Mendel goes along to see Doctor Decay who advises him that he did this same job for Solly Saperstein.
"Just call Solly," says Doctor Decay, "and if you are satisfied with what he says, we can arrange something for you."
Mendel phones Solly.
"Ah, yes," says Solly. "My teeth. Well, the dentist did the work some time ago. About two years later I went to stay with my daughter in Hollywood. Yes, she is married to a movie star -- lots of money, you can imagine! They were living in a posh hotel in Beverly Hills, with all the comforts. Lots to drink, a room of my own, and I swam in the hotel pool every day. I had it to myself, and I used to swim naked. How about that?"
"That's fine, Solly," says Mendel, "but what about your TEETH?"
"I am telling you!" replies Solly. "You asked me, and I am telling you!
"One day when I was in the pool, a beautiful young girl dived in. And she had no clothes on. She swam up close to me, I was so embarrassed, I did not know what to do. But she kept smiling, and coming closer and closer. Then she put her hand on me!"
"And THEN?" shouts Mendel.
"Well, then," continues Solly, "for the first time in two years my teeth stopped hurting!"
Big Black Leroy is cleaning the windows on the eighty-third floor of a skyscraper in New York. Suddenly, he loses his balance and falls from the scaffolding, but just manages to catch a window-ledge and hangs there by his finger tips, shouting for help.
"Ah, Lawd!" shouts Leroy, "I'm not ready for them Pearly Gates yet! Save me!"
At that moment, Saint Herbert, the angel, flies out of the sky.
"Hi, Leroy!" says Saint Herbert, hovering beside him. "Have you got faith in the Lord?"
"I sure do!" stammers Leroy.
"Okay" says Herbert, "then I will teach you how to fly. Now, show your faith and take one hand off the window-ledge."
"I can't do that!" stammers Leroy. "No way!"
"Yes, you can," snaps the Saint. "Now, show your faith!"
Turning pale with fear, Leroy closes his eyes and slowly lets go with his left hand.
"That's good, Leroy," says Saint Herbert, patting him on the head, "very good. Now I want you to let go with the other hand."
"Ah, Lawd!" shouts Leroy. "I can't do that!"
"You can do it, Leroy," says Herbert. "Have faith, praise the Lord -- and let go!"
Leroy lets go and falls eighty stories to the ground.
"Yup," says Saint Herbert, flying away. "I never did like niggers."
Cardinal Catzass meets his old friend, Buster, from his school days.
"Hello, Buster," says Catzass. "What are you doing these days?"
"I am a logician," replies Buster, shaking hands with the cardinal.
"Really?" replies Catzass. "What on earth is a logician?"
"Well," says Buster, "I am a kind of therapist. I help people by making things clear."
"Really?" says Catzass. "How does it work?"
"Well," replies Buster. "For example -- you have a small aquarium in your room, correct?"
"That is amazing!" says Catzass. "Yes I do, how did you know?"
"Never mind," says Buster, "and I deduce that because you have an aquarium, you like fish."
"Amazing!" cries Catzass. "Yes, I do like fish. You are very good."
"Yes, and not only that," continues Buster, "but I deduce that since you like fish, you probably have a fancy for mermaids."
"Amazing!" cries Catzass. "As a matter of fact, I have had lurid fantasies about mermaids all my life."
"And," continues Buster, "because you like mermaids, I deduce that you also like women!"
"My God!" exclaims the cardinal. "I see that you are really an expert. I have a secret lust for women. You are a great therapist!"
Later that afternoon, Cardinal Catzass is in Pope the Polack's private chambers.
"Hey, pope," says Catzass, "I met an old friend of mine today who is a logician."
"Really?" says the Polack. "What is a logician?"
"Well," says the cardinal, "he is a kind of therapist. And he makes things clear."
"Really?" replies the pope. "Like what?"
"I will show you," says Catzass. "For example -- you have an aquarium in your room, don't you?"
"No I don't," says the Polack pope.
"Well," deduces Cardinal Catzass, "then you must be a homosexual!"
Nivedano...

Nivedano...

Be silent. Close your eyes. Feel your body to be completely frozen.
Now is the moment to look inwards with your total consciousness, and with an urgency as if this is going to be your last moment. You have to find your center of being -- at whatsoever cost.
Deeper and deeper -- just like an arrow, go on piercing into the very center of your being. That's where you are a buddha. That's where the doors of all the mysteries of existence open. That's where you come to know for the first time your eternity, your cosmic being.
You are beyond life and beyond death.
What is left? -- just a pure witness.
That is the only quality in a buddha -- just to be a witness. It is the purest thing in the whole world.
Watch that you are not the body. Watch: you are not the mind.
What remains? -- only a witness.
And this witness is your ultimate nature. This witness makes you a buddha.
To make it more clear, Nivedano...
(Drumbeat)
Relax, but remember you are not the body, you are not the mind, you are just a pure witness. And slowly slowly a deep joy will arise in you, a blissfulness, an ecstasy, a peace that passeth understanding.
You have come home.
The Buddha Auditorium has become a lake of consciousnesses merging into each other the way rivers merge into the ocean.
The evening was beautiful on its own, but your deepening consciousness, merging into the whole around you, has made it one of the most majestic evenings in the world.
This moment has a splendor, a magic, because you are standing at the very doors
of all the miracles,
of all that is miraculous,
of all that is mysterious.
And all these combined are nothing but different aspects of divineness spread all over existence.
Gather as much silence as you can, as much fragrance as you can. And persuade the buddha to come along with you, so that he is not hiding in the center but comes to your circumference in your activities, in your day-to-day action, in your gestures, in your words, in your silences. When the buddha fills you totally, you have come to blossom. Your potential has become an actuality.
Nivedano...
(Drumbeat)
Come back. But come back not the same person who had gone in.
Come back as a buddha,
with great silence and peace,
with great beauty and grace,
with a heart dancing with joy,
knowing that at the very center of your being
-- so close --
is the door to the divine.
A few minutes, just sit remembering and reminding yourself of the golden path that you have gone on to meet your buddha, and on the same golden path you have come back.
The difference between your circumference and center is lessening every day, inch by inch. The spring is not very far away
when suddenly
your circumference and center
will become one.
That is the moment of enlightenment,
the moment of awakening,
the moment of becoming a buddha.
Okay, Maneesha?
Yes, Buddha.
