UpanishadsI AM THATChapter-8Knowing Nothing About EverythingThird Question

The third question: Question 3 OSHO, HOW ABOUT TELLING US A LITTLE ESOTERIC BULLSHIT? Prem Shraddhan, BULLSHIT is simply bullshit! Even if you make it esoteric it does not change its quality -- it still stinks! You can give it a beautiful cover, a beautiful packet, but the content will be the same. You can wrap around it something beautiful, but that will be only a wraparound. When you will dive deep into it, then you would know -- you have fallen into a ditch full of bullshit! A sannyasin and newly-arrived non-sannyasin are sitting together in Vrindavan. "Hey, Swami," says the non-sannyasin, "you have probably been around this place for a while. Can you tell me what Osho is teaching you?" The sannyasin ponders over this for a while, then says, "It's like this: imagine two guys walking along a road; they both fall into a ditch. One of them gets dirty, the other does not -- which one of them is going to have a shower?" "The dirty one, of course!" says the non-sannyasin. "No. The dirty one sees the clean one and he thinks himself to be clean. The clean one sees the dirty one and he thinks HE is dirty, so the clean one is going to wash himself. Now imagine they fall into a ditch again -- who is going to shower now?" "Now I know," answers the non-sannyasin, "the clean one!" "No. The clean one realizes while showering that he was clean, and the dirty one realizes while the clean one is taking a shower, so now the right one showers! Now imagine they both fall into a ditch again -- who is going to shower now?" "From now on, of course, always the dirty one!" "No. Have you ever seen two guys fall into a ditch three times, and one always comes out dirty and the other always clean?" A Catholic priest was walking along a cliff by the sea when he heard the shouts of someone in difficulty. He saw a man who obviously could not swim struggling for his life in the water. "Save me, save me, father! I am drowning!" cried the young man. "Are ye Catholic or Protestant, son?" asked the cleric. "Protestant, father!" gasped the young man as he went under the water. The priest began to walk on. "For God's sake, father, save me!" screamed the terrified boy surfacing again. "What religion are ye, son?" shouted back the priest. "Protestant, father!" spluttered back the answer. The priest again began to walk on as the unfortunate youngster went under for the second time. "For the love of God, save me, father!" screamed the boy in desperation. "What religion are ye, son?" came the demand again. After a moment's hesitation the young man shouted, "I'm a Catholic, father!" The priest immediately threw off his clothes, dived into the sea and swam strongly to the boy, catching him by the hair as he went under for the third and last time. "What religion are ye, son?" asked the priest again, as he help the young man's head above the water. "Catholic, father!" came the response. The cleric smiled, let go the young man's hair, and as he sank said, "Good, die in faith!" |
