Chapter 7: The mysterious one
Question 1

Question 1
Maneesha has asked:
OUR BELOVED MASTER,
I HAVE UNDERSTOOD YOU TO SAY LATELY THAT THE BUDDHA, THE "MYSTERIOUS ONE" WITHIN US, IS ALWAYS THERE, CONSTANT, UNAFFECTED BY WHATEVER WE DO.
I ALWAYS HAD THE FEELING THAT THE MORE OFTEN WE ARE CONSCIOUS, THE MORE WE NOURISH THE INNER BUDDHA; BUT IF NOTHING WE CAN DO NEGATIVELY CAN DIMINISH HIM, THEN MY FEELING MUST BE JUST IMAGINATION. IS IT?
Maneesha, neither can you do anything negative to harm the buddha inside you, nor can you do anything positive to nourish the buddha inside you. It is complete and perfect in itself.
All that you can do is: by being conscious in your actions you can recognize it; by unconscious actions you can forget it. But you cannot do anything to it. Either you can remember and recognize and be transformed, or you can go on doing things which take you away from it and completely forget the way back. But whether you are positive or negative, your innermost buddha remains the same. You cannot do anything favorable or unfavorable to it. It is your transcendence.
Before we enter into the temple to have a look whether the buddha is there or not... a few little laughs, just to prepare the ground. Laughter takes away much of your seriousness, which is a hindrance. It takes away your burden. In a deep laughter you become total. It is not that you laugh fifty percent, that this time you laughed thirty percent. When you really laugh, remember Sardar Gurudayal Singh: he laughs a hundred percent. And it does not matter whether it is time to laugh or not. Laughter in itself is such a healthy, enjoyable phenomenon, that you don't have to have some reason for it.
I have to tell you the jokes just because you will not laugh without a reason. They are unnecessary; if you start laughing without a reason, that will be more spontaneous and fresh. Soon there will come a time that just a drumbeat, and everybody goes one hundred percent.
These jokes are only for beginners. The old sinners don't need them.
It is the weekend in Harlem, and we find Zabriski in an all-black disco called the Horny Honky, having a high time and partying like crazy.
A beautiful woman named Kootchee slithers up beside Zabriski and asks, "Hey, baby! Buy a lonely girl a drink?"
Zabriski smiles at this unbelievable luck and says, "Okay, sure, but to tell you the truth, I would really like to get screwed."
Kootchee is cool and she can dig it, so she takes our Polack by the hand and leads him across the smoke-filled, music-thumping dance floor to a door with a small slit in it marked, "Private."
"Just wait here, white boy," says Kootchee, and she disappears behind the door.
Suddenly the slit opens and a woman's voice asks, "What would you like, Sugarpie?"
"Like?" repeats Zabriski. "Like I said, I wanna get screwed."
"Sho-thing, darling," replies the voice. "But as you can see, this is a private club. You have to slip one hundred bucks into this slot for a membership fee."
At this, the partying Polack shouts, "Right on! Get down! And get funky!" as he puts a hundred dollar bill in the slot.
Five minutes go by and nothing happens, so Zabriski knocks again. When the little slot opens, Zabriski shouts, "Hey! I wanna get screwed!"
"What?" comes the reply. "Again?"
Devageet and two friends are hailing a rickshaw when they see pretty young Ma Yoga Butter also trying to hail the same rickshaw.
Devageet, seeing the situation and being such a gentleman, offers, "Come on, Butter, you might as well sit on my lap. I'm too old to give you my seat, and don't worry, I'm too old for it to be dangerous for you to sit on my lap."
Yoga Butter smiles and accepts the invitation. But after jolting around Bund Garden Road in the rickshaw for a while with Butter bouncing all over his lap, Devageet smiles and says, "I'm afraid I was wrong, Butter. You will have to get off. I'm not as old as I thought I was!"
A potato and a carrot are hitch-hiking at the side of the road when a cyclist comes around the corner and runs down the potato.
The next day, the carrot goes to visit his friend in the hospital. The potato does not look too good.
"Tell me, doc," says the carrot, anxiously, "do you think my friend will be okay?"
"He may recover," replies the doctor, "but frankly, for the rest of his life he will be a vegetable."
Olga Kowalski wins the draw, and is selected to be a contestant on the famous TV game show "Popular Polacks."
It is the end of the show, and the excited emcee announces the final category of questions and the grand prize of one million dollars.
Olga is selected, and the emcee asks, "Okay, Mrs. Kowalski, for one million dollars, what category of questions would you like to choose from?"
"Well," says Olga in a nervous voice, "I think I will choose `Religion'."
"Good!" shouts the emcee. "From the category `Religion', and for the big money, the question is -- What did Eve say to Adam that fateful night in the garden of Eden?"
Olga gets worried and thinks and thinks, but after a few minutes she gives up completely and says, "Oh, my god! That is a hard one."
And the emcee shouts, "Right! You win one million dollars!"
Go, Nivedano...
(Drumbeat)
(Gibberish)
Nivedano...
(Drumbeat)
Be silent.
Close your eyes.
Feel the body to be completely frozen
and go in...
Deeper and deeper.
You have nothing to lose...
but your eternity to find.
No desire... no longing...
just go in
for the simple sake of finding out the buddha.
Everybody who has gone in
has always found him,
without any exception.
To make it deeper and more clear, Nivedano...
(Drumbeat)
Relax, let go.
Feel the body apart from you,
the mind apart from you.
You just be a watcher.
This watcher is the buddha.
This blissful evening,
and thousands of buddhas make this place
the holiest one, this moment the most miraculous.
Nivedano, call all the buddhas back.
(Drumbeat)
Come back with your full glory
and ceremony and grace.
Sit down at least for a few minutes.
Recollect the experience.
Be soaked in it...
drunk with it...
drowned in it...
so that it can become a constant stream
flowing in your every action
or non-action,
waking or asleep.
This way I teach you the buddha.
You don't have to become buddhas,
you are...
just a little recognition,
a little courage to look within yourself.
Okay, Maneesha?
Yes, Beloved Master.
Can we celebrate all the buddhas?
Yes, Beloved Master!
