THE ORIGINAL MAN
Chapter 9: Yaa-hoo! -- a living sound
Question 1
Energy Enhancement Enlightened Texts Zen The Original Man
Question 1
Maneesha has asked a question:
OUR BELOVED MASTER,
RINZAI SAID: "WHEN HOST AND GUEST MEET EACH OTHER, THERE IS ALWAYS AN EXCHANGE OF WORDS OR DISCUSSION." BUT HE DID NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU. I WONDER WHAT RINZAI WOULD MAKE OF A DANCING MASTER AND OUR YAA-HOO! SHOUT?
He would understand it perfectly. He is saying that when a host and guest meet, there is discussion and talk and conversation, but when two hosts meet, not a single word passes between them. Their meeting is that of presences. Their meeting is that of being -- not of words and language.
So, Maneesha, I can say without any doubt that Rinzai would understand our Yaa-Hoo! shout. It does not matter what sound you use. Perhaps he would appreciate it better, because in Yaa-Hoo! two are present. Both can be the host, or one can be the host and the other can be the disciple, or both can be disciples. But the quality of their Yaa-Hoo! will change accordingly.
And you can feel it here when some spectator enters the assembly by chance. Just out of courtesy, we don't stop him. He also raises his hands, but you can see how reluctantly. He also gives the Yaa-Hoo! shout, but you can see what a mouse he is.
It is a lion's den.
If you are really here to participate in what is happening -- then be total! It is not a place for spectators. I know Rinzai; hence, I assume, he knows me.
Before we enter the source of our being... The clouds have come to listen for your laughter. This earth has become so dry -- nobody laughs, nobody even smiles. Even if they smile, it is just a painted smile, a lipstick smile.
I want my people to laugh like a lion's roar. Then even laughter becomes a tremendous experience, because it is intelligence at its peak.
"You would not believe it," says Zabriski in the bar, "but I think my milkman is turning gay!"
"Why," asks Klopski, "what happened?"
"Well," says Zabriski, "my wife was sick in bed the other morning. So I stayed home late to take care of her. Suddenly, the milkman started ringing the doorbell, and since I was naked, I slipped on my wife's bathrobe and went downstairs.
"As I opened the door, the milkman jumped into my arms, started kissing me, and trying to take the bathrobe off me!"
"Hey, man, don't worry," says Klopski.
"He's probably not gay, that was just a coincidence."
"A coincidence? What do you mean?" asks Zabriski.
"Well, it is obvious," explains Klopski, sagely, "his wife must wear a bathrobe the same color as your wife's!"
On a trip to Rome, Sarjano is driving down the street in Jayesh's bright red Ferrari at about a hundred and fifty miles an hour.
Suddenly, from a side street, the Popemobile pulls out in front of him. With no time for Sarjano to hit the brakes, there is a colossal collision.
The next thing they know, Pope the Polack and Sarjano are watching their souls departing the earth together. Of course, there is a bureaucratic, computerized mix-up on the way to Heaven, and as a result, Sarjano is sent to the Pearly Gates, while Pope the Polack is sent to Hell.
The Polack pope, obviously pissed off that he is in the wrong place, soon convinces those in charge that there has been a mistake. And in the blink of an eye, he is transported to the Pearly Gates. As he walks into Heaven, he meets Sarjano just coming out.
"I'm really sorry about this," says the pope, bending to kiss the Gates, "but I have waited all my life to kneel at the feet of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the purest virgin who has ever lived."
Sarjano flashes a bright smile at the Polack pope.
"Sorry, Father," he says, buttoning his pants, "But you are-a too late!"
Walter Wibble arrives at the Pearly Gates and is given a tour of Heaven by Saint Peter. They are walking around Gabriel's garden when a small bell starts tinkling. All the angels and saints fall to their knees and begin to pray.
"What is going on?" asks Walter, looking at this amazing sight.
"Oh," replies Saint Peter, "an innocent child has just told her first lie. All the angels and saints are praying for her."
A short while later they are inspecting the Harp and Hallelujia Bowling Club, when a large bell starts ringing. A bus load of angels screeches to a stop in the street outside, and all the angels fly out, onto their knees, and start praying.
"What is happening now?" asks Walter.
"Ah," replies Saint Peter, "an adult on earth has just told another lie, and all the angels and saints are praying for him."
Later, they are walking through the Heavenly Dollar Shopping Mall, when suddenly, hundreds of bells start ringing. There is such a terrible noise that Walter drops to his knees, covers his ears, and starts praying.
"Good God!" exclaims Saint Peter. "Ronald Reagan and his gang are discussing Osho again!"

Be silent... close your eyes. Feel your body to be frozen. Gather all your consciousness, your life energy inwards, and go deeper without any fear.
It is your own being, and unless you know it, you will suffer from death and life and a thousand miseries.
Knowing your own being frees you from all misery, from all suffering, and brings you a world full of joy, blissfulness, ecstasy.
It all depends on you -- how deep you go.
Just become an arrow, deeper, deeper and deeper.
This is you -- the original man, the buddha.
With deep gratitude enter in. Don't remain standing outside the temple. And you will find inside nobody but yourself. What was moving around outside was just a projection.
The real host is within you always and always.
To make it clear, absolutely clear....
Nivedano...
(Drumbeat)
Relax... let the body lie there, the mind far away, and you are simply a watcher.
Nothing has to be done, just watch. This watching is your original nature, unspoiled, undisturbed.
It is just like a mirror. It has reflected many things, but it is still empty and silent.
Drink from this well of your being and remember the way. Twenty-four hours, whenever you have a little time, just look within. It is not far away.
Refresh yourself twenty-four hours with your buddhahood, so that all doubts drop, and it becomes a spontaneous roar within you. Your buddhahood is no longer a thought, but in the roar of your whole being it becomes your ultimate experience.
You are beyond time and beyond mind, you are beyond space. You are the eternity, and you are the immortality. The whole sky is yours, all bondages fallen away, ultimate freedom achieved.
Nivedano...
(Drumbeat)
Come back. But bring your buddha with you, bring your host with you. Slowly, silently, gracefully, sit down for a few moments, rejoicing and remembering the benediction that has happened to you.
You have been to the holiest of the holy.
You have seen the original man.
Let this experience flow like an undercurrent in every act and gesture of your life.
Slowly, slowly it becomes just like a heartbeat or breathing, spontaneous and of its own accord.
Waking or asleep you remain the buddha, and because of this undercurrent, all your character, all your ideas of good and bad, all your actions will be completely transformed -- to a totally new form that you have never imagined, never dreamed of.
Change comes from inner experience, not vice versa. People try to change their character to know their buddha. They will never be able to succeed. All the religions are doing that, I am teaching you just the opposite.
First, experience the buddha, and that experience will start changing you, your love, your compassion. Everything around you will have a new light, a new aura, a new fragrance.
To me, the true religion begins from within and spreads outwards, not the other way.
Okay, Maneesha?
Yes, Beloved Master.
Can we celebrate the gathering of the buddhas?
Yes, Beloved Master!
