in the sky, I call the child Flying Eagle, if I see a horse going by, I call the child Running Horse. It is just a question of what catches my attention while I am making love to your mother. So, now do you understand, Broken Condom?"

Okay, Maneesha?

Yes, Osho.

Now two minutes for absolute silence, no movement... closed eyes, just as if you are absolutely frozen.

Collect the whole energy inside....

Now relax... let go...!

Now, come back to life.

Okay, Maneesha?

Yes, Osho.

BELOVED OSHO,

JOSHU SPOKE TO THE ASSEMBLY AND SAID, "THE REAL WAY IS NOT DIFFICULT.

IT ONLY ABHORS CHOICE AND ATTACHMENT.

WITH BUT A SINGLE WORD THERE MAY ARISE CHOICE

AND ATTACHMENT OR THERE MAY ARISE CLARITY.

THIS OLD MONK DOES NOT HAVE THAT CLARITY.

DO YOU APPRECIATE THE MEANING OF THIS OR NOT?"

THEN A MONK ASKED, "IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THAT CLARITY, WHAT DO YOU APPRECIATE?"

JOSHU SAID, "I DO NOT KNOW THAT EITHER."

THE MONK SAID, "IF YOU DO NOT KNOW, HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE THAT CLARITY?"

JOSHU SAID, "ASKING THE QUESTION IS GOOD ENOUGH. NOW MAKE YOUR BOWS AND RETIRE."

SETCHO SAYS:

THE REAL WAY IS NOT DIFFICULT.

DIRECT WORD! DIRECT SPEECH!

ONE WITH MANY PHASES.

TWO WITH ONE.

FAR AWAY IN THE HEAVENS THE SUN RISES, THE MOON SETS;

BEYOND THE HILLS THE HIGH MOUNTAINS, THE COLD WATERS.

THE SKULL HAS NO CONSCIOUSNESS, NO DELIGHT;

THE DEAD TREE SINGS IN THE WIND, NOT YET ROTTEN.

DIFFICULT, DIFFICULT!

ATTACHMENT AND CLARITY; WATCH, AND PENETRATE THE SECRET!

OSHO,

IN LIFE ONE CONTINUALLY HAS TO MAKE PRACTICAL DECISIONS -- ABOUT HOW ONE WILL USE ONE'S TIME AND ENERGY, WITH WHOM ONE WILL KEEP COMPANY, WHAT ONE WILL EAT...

IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MAKING CHOICES, JUDGING AND DISCRIMINATING?

Maneesha,
