Question 1
Maneesha has asked:
OUR BELOVED MASTER,
IF YOU WERE TO USE JUST ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE THE ESSENCE OF TRUE RELIGIOUSNESS, ONE WORD THAT IS THE KEY TO BEING ABLE TO DROP WHATEVER HAS BEEN AND SIMPLY LIVE ONE MOMENT AT A TIME -- WHAT WOULD THAT ONE WORD BE?
Maneesha, that one word is in. Just in.
Go in and all the mysteries open before you.
But before you go in... because nobody knows whether you will return or not. It is a miracle that everybody returns every day. What more miracles do you want? Jesus raised only one man from death. I have to do double the work! First I have to tell you to die -- ten thousand sannyasins die every night -- and then the great work has to be done to bring you back to life. And the miracle is, you all come back! Not a single one is left behind.
So before that inward journey -- the dangerous journey, as one may not like to come back -- a few laughs are necessary. So on your inner journey you go laughing... at least smiling.
When pretty Angela Carrotti goes out on her first date, her parents tell her to be home by nine o'clock.
She gets in at nine-fifteen with her hair messed up and her make-up smeared. Momma Carrotti asks her how the evening was. Angela rolls up her eyes and says breathlessly, "Mamma mia!"
The next night, Angela goes out again with the same boyfriend. Her parents tell her to be back by nine. At ten-thirty Angela gets home with her clothes dishevelled and her hair in tangles.
Poppa Carrotti tells her off for being so late and asks her if she has had fun.
Rolling her eyes up, Angela says, "Mamma mia!"
The following night, Angela gets home at two in the morning. Momma and Poppa are furious.
"So!" cries Momma. "Now what-a you have to say for yourself?"
Angela looks down and says, "Me-a mamma!"
Feenie and Frankie, two Italian school friends, graduate from college at the same time. Feenie's dad gives his son a solid gold wristwatch, and Frankie gets a pearl-handled pistol from his father.
The friends meet and admire each other's presents so much that they decide to trade them. That evening at dinner, Frankie checks the time.
"Where did you get-a that gold watch?" asks his father. He listens to Frankie's story with a look of disbelief on his face. "Whassa matter with you?" shouts his dad. "Some day you get-a married. And some day you find-a your wife in bed with another guy. And what are you gonna do? Look at your watch and say-a, `Hey! How long you gonna be?'"
"Darling," whispers Johnny, "you are the only one for me. I love you. I need you. I can't live without you."
"Please!" gasps Julie, pushing him away.
"Why? What is wrong?" asks a stunned Johnny.
"I am in such a playful, happy mood," says Julie, "and I don't want to get serious."
"So?" smiles Johnny. "Who's serious?"
Old Grandpa Goldberg walks into the Saint Jones Cathedral, looks around anxiously, and then sits down in the dark confessional box.
"Father," says Goldberg to the priest. "I have been screwing a juicy blonde nymphomaniac nineteen-year-old girl twice a day for the past three weeks."
"Good Lord, Mr. Goldberg!" says Father Fungus. "But aren't you Jewish? Why are you telling me?"
"Why am I telling you?" replies Grandpa. "I'm telling everyone!"
Now, Nivedano...

(Gibberish)
Nivedano...
(Drumbeat)
Be silent.
Close your eyes.
Feel your body to be completely frozen.
Close all the doors going outwards.
Collect your whole energy in.
Deeper, deeper....
In the very center of your being
is the heart of the whole universe.
We are not separate islands,
we are all one in this inner space.
This inner space is eternal, immortal,
knows nothing of life or death.
Be well acquainted with it,
so that you can remember.
In your day-to-day activities
don't forget the buddha within.
Express your buddha in all your actions,
in your words, in your silences, in your songs.
But always remember: you are a buddha.
Nivedano...
(Drumbeat)
Relax.
Let go of the body, of the mind.
You are just a watcher,
a small light at the center of your being.
But that light is connected
with the center of the universe.
It is from this center you get your life.
This is the root
that connects you with the universal soul.
Blessed is this moment...
ten thousand buddhas
drowned into one consciousness.
Blessed is this this-ness, this suchness, this silence.
Feel the silence.
Feel the beauty of it.
Feel the joy of it.
Feel its universality.
And in a single moment
here now
you can prove Ejaku wrong.
You can be a buddha.
You are a buddha,
just you have forgotten.
Remember... Remember.
Nivedano...
(Drumbeat)
Come back,
gathering your experience,
remembering your experience.
Sit down like a buddha.
This is your true nature.
This is the meeting point with the universe.
Okay, Maneesha?
Yes, Beloved Master.
Can we celebrate the ten thousand buddhas?
Yes, Beloved Master!
