Mamma," replies Himmel, "I am an American now. It is very difficult to keep kosher in America."
The old lady looks at her son in shock. She hesitates for a moment and then goes up to him and whispers, "Dimmel, my son, tell me one thing -- are you still circumcised?"
Nivedano...
(Gibberish)
Nivedano...
Be silent...
Close your eyes... and feel your body to be completely frozen.
This is the right moment to look inwards. With your whole life energy, rush towards the center of your being.
Your total consciousness is needed
to become just an arrow,
forcing itself deeper and deeper,
faster and faster,
with an urgency as if this is going to be
your last moment on the earth.
Without this urgency you will never be able to reach to the center of your being.
That is the point from where you are connected with the cosmos. And that is also the point which transforms you into a buddha, into an awakened one. That is also the point when you learn you are immortal: you have been here always, and you will be here always -- whether in body or no body.
As you are coming closer and closer to your being, a great silence descends over you, and a great peace arises within your being.
The moment you reach to the very center
you are no more,
the buddha is.
The only quality that buddha has
is pure awareness
consciousness
witnessing.
Witnessing is a key word for all meditators.
Witness that you are not the body...
Witness that you are not the mind...
Witness that you are only a witness.
Suddenly, great bliss arises in you
out of nowhere
flowers of invisible ecstasy
start showering on you.
You are at the very source of your life juices.
To make the witnessing clear, Nivedano...
Relax.
Let go... but keep on witnessing.
That is the only thing you have to remember -- you are a witness -- and everything else will happen on its own.
I can see ten thousand buddhas utterly relaxed in their center. Gautam the Buddha Auditorium is changing
