millionaire, meets Brenda Babblebrain and falls madly in love with her.
Sheikh Ali Baba approaches her husband, Boris, the lawyer, and leads him into a quiet corner.
"I must sleep with your wife," says Ali Baba, "and in return, I will pay you her weight in gold."
Boris hesitates, and then he insists that he will need a few days.
"To think the deal over?" asks Ali Baba, anxiously.
"No, no!" cries Boris, "to fatten her up!"
Nivedano...

(Gibberish)
Nivedano...
(Drumbeat)
Be silent.
Let your body be completely frozen.
Close your eyes, and look inwards with as much urgency and totality as possible.
Deeper and deeper... you are entering the space we call the buddha.
This beautiful evening can become a great radical change in your life, if you are courageous enough to go on, just like an arrow, to the very center of your being.
You are just a witness, an empty mirror.
To make it more clear, Nivedano...
(Drumbeat)
Relax.
Watch -- the body is not you, the mind is not you.
Only the watching, only the witnessing is you.
This witnessing is your eternity.
With this witnessing comes all the ecstasies, all the blessings that existence can offer to you.
The deeper you are, the more watchful you are -- the more silent, the more peaceful.
It is a great event.
Every evening you go a little deeper into your buddhahood.
Look around this empty space within you; you have to remember it, twenty-four hours, when you come back from the inner journey.
Nivedano...
(Drumbeat)
Come back, but come back as buddhas -- peaceful, silent, graceful, with a beatitude.
Sit down for a few moments just as mirrors; remembering your inner world, collecting the experience so that it can become an undercurrent in your daily life.
I don't want anybody to escape from life; I want everybody to make life richer, more blissful, more ecstatic.
I am all for life, because to me life is the only God.
The buddha is another name for life.
Okay, Maneesha?
Yes,
