Question 1
Maneesha has asked:
OUR BELOVED MASTER,
IT SEEMS THAT THE MIND GIVES US THE ILLUSION OF CONTROL OVER LIFE, WHILE AWARENESS MAKES US RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR LIVES.
IS NOT THE TURNING POINT RECOGNIZING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING IN CONTROL AND BEING RESPONSIBLE?
Maneesha, even the word `responsible' is a different name for control.
A man of consciousness drops both control and responsibility. That does not mean that he is irresponsible; it simply means he becomes spontaneous.
The word `responsibility' is contaminated by the missionaries of all the religions; hence, I would like not to use the word `responsible'. I would like to use the word `spontaneous'.
When the mind is dropped you function spontaneously. Your song, your dance, your silence, your words, all come out of your spontaneity. They are not irresponsible: they cannot be. But I don't want to use the word `responsibility'. The word is perfectly good, but it has become contaminated in its use by religions to force things upon you: "This is your responsibility" -- responsibility towards your parents, responsibility towards your children, responsibility towards society... responsibility towards everything! And they have used responsibility just to repress your spontaneity.
Otherwise, the word in itself is very beautiful. If it can be cleaned off -- a good dry cleaning! -- then it has to be broken in two parts: response-ability. Then it will be equivalent to spontaneity.
But why unnecessarily dry clean when a fresh word is available?
Now, something serious...
Big black Dougie goes into an all-white bar in Mississippi with three friends. He goes up to the barman and bets him fifty dollars that he can lick his own eye.
"Crazy nigger," thinks the barman. "No one can lick his own eye." So he takes the bet.
Dougie pops out his glass eye, licks it, and then bets the barman fifty dollars that he can bite his other eye too.
"Two glass eyes?" thinks the barman. "This guy must be really dumb." So he takes the bet.
Dougie pulls out his false teeth and bites the other eye. The barman starts to lose his temper.
"Wait!" says Dougie, calmly. "I will bet you double or nothing that I can piss into that empty glass while you slide it along the bar."
"That is impossible," the barman thinks to himself. "No one can do that." So he takes the bet.
Dougie drops his pants, pulls out his dong, and starts pissing all over the bar and the floor. The barman starts laughing and mopping up the mess.
"I knew it!" he shouts. "You really are dumb to think you could do that!"
"Not so dumb," replies Dougie, pulling up his pants. "You see, I bet those three friends of mine a hundred dollars each that I could piss all over your bar and you would wipe it up laughing!"
Fergus MacFish has an embarrassing accident doing yoga, and has to have his testicles surgically removed.
By chance, it just happens that the famous transplant surgeon, Doctor Slasher, has a spare pair of gorilla balls in his refrigerator.
After a long and tricky operation, the gorilla nuts are successfully transplanted and Fergus makes a complete recovery.
Some years pass, and one day Fergus' wife, Phyllis, gives birth to their first child. Fergus is thrilled and asks the nurse anxiously if it is a boy or a girl.
"We don't know yet," replies the nurse. "We can't get the hairy bastard off the ceiling!"
There is a fire at the Pig and Whistle Pub, and it is beginning to get out of control.
Suddenly, Paddy's old Ford car comes speeding around the corner, crosses the street, and drives straight into the middle of the flames.
The car nearly puts out the fire, and then the doors burst open. Paddy and Seamus jump out, and start beating wildly at the flames.
Ten minutes later the fire is out, and Paddy and Seamus push the old Ford out of the pub. The landlord offers the two brave men some free drinks, and gives Paddy a hundred-dollar reward.
"What are you going to do with all that money?" asks Sean, who has been drinking at the bar throughout the action.
"Well," says Paddy, swallowing a large whiskey, "the first thing I'm going to do is to take my car and get those goddam brakes fixed!"
Pope the Polack is getting very lonely because nobody wants to talk to him anymore, so he decides to buy himself a pet parrot. He goes into a pet shop and sees a parrot he likes very much.
"How much?" asks the Polack.
"One thousand dollars," replies the shopkeeper.
"Holy cow!" cries the pope. "Is he really worth that much?"
"He sure is," says the man. "You can ask the parrot himself."
So Pope the Polack asks the parrot and the parrot replies, "There is no doubt about it."
The pope is thrilled and immediately purchases the parrot. He's very excited and runs home to the Vatican to show off his new pet. He calls everybody together and then says proudly, "This is a truly remarkable parrot."
"There is no doubt about it," says the bird.
"Quite so," says the pope. "And what is your name?" But the parrot remains silent. "Holy shit," says the pope. "Don't you know your name?"
The parrot just looks at him.
"Can't you say anything?" cries the frustrated Polack. But the parrot just looks bored. The pope is furious and shouts, "I must have been an idiot to buy you!"
The parrot says, "There is no doubt about it!"

Be silent, close your eyes.
Feel the body completely frozen.
Gather all your life energy in.
Just watch, witness the mind and the body.
You are neither.
You are the witness -- a pure mirror.
This is it.
You don't have to go anywhere to find it,
it is just at the very center of your being.
All the bliss, all the grandeur,
all the beauty, all the truth...
In this suchness arises your spontaneity.
In this suchness you become a buddha.
Remember it.
Remember it.
It is your self-nature.
Nivedano...
(Drumbeat)
Now die... don't hold on to any roots.
Without any worry, die,
because after two minutes is the resurrection.
Just watch the body lying there,
the mind making small noises,
and you are just a watcher,
unmoved, untroubled, unscratched...
This is your eternity.
This is your buddha.
Nivedano...
(Drumbeat)
This is the resurrection time.
Slowly, gracefully, come out of the dead, fresh.
As a buddha, sit down for a few seconds,
remembering the experience, the space that you have visited.
It is your home.
It belongs to you exclusively.
You can enter into this space
any moment.
It is just a question
of remembering the experience.
It is so simple and so obvious.
Okay, Maneesha?
Yes, Beloved Master.
Can we celebrate the ten thousand buddhas' resurrection?
Yes, Beloved Master!
