SufismVOL. 2, SUFIS: THE PERFECT MASTERChapter-4How Can You Deceive?Fourth Question

The fourth question: Question 4 OSHO, WHEN I WAS IN KONYA FOR THE DERVISH WHIRLING CEREMONY LAST DECEMBER, I MET A SUFI MASTER -- SULYMAN DEDE. HE ASKED ME TO CARRY HIS GREETINGS TO YOU AND THEN ASKED ME HOW I COULD KNOW THAT YOU WERE A TRUE MASTER. I THOUGHT THERE COULD BE NO SATISFACTORY REPLY. OSHO, WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE SAID? IN THE FIRST PLACE, RAGA, Dede would not have asked the question of me. He would have immediately recognized. He has already recognized -- that's why he sends the greetings. He is a man of understanding, of great love and compassion. But he asked you, not because he has any suspicions or doubts about me -- he asked you just to see your response. He asked your not for an answer but for a response -- and you missed. It is true there is no way to reply to it satisfactorily, but he was not asking for any reply from your side -- he wanted a response. You could have danced, and he would have understood. You could have hugged him, and he would have understood. A mad laughter would have been THE answer. It is not a question of intellectual curiosity. He is not an intellectual man at all -- he is a real Sufi. He would have understood it. Sufis know how to understand the ways of lovers. You could have just looked into his eyes with great love. He was not asking anything about me: he was asking something about you. These are the ways of the Masters. He apparently asked how you could know a true Master. In fact, he was asking, "Are you a true disciple?" You could have shown your disciple hood. You could have touched his feet. You could have cried in joy -- or anything! Not ready-made, not manipulated by the mind, but spontaneous, on the spur of the moment... and he would have been immensely satisfied with you. |
