peak, utterly silent and alone, just watching, listening... sensitive, but still.
And the fourth step is let-go.
At every step Nivedano will be asked to beat his drum. Yesterday he lost himself into the meditation. I had been trying hard, but he was so much into his own gibberish. And what is the gibberish? He was fighting with Mukta. These are the two fighters here, Mukta and Nivedano. Mukta is fighting for the trees, Nivedano is fighting for the rocks.
He did not listen, once he started... Today he is not allowed to participate. It is your work to remember that when I say "Beat the drum," beat it -- otherwise everybody else around you will beat you! Agreed?
Okay, we start our first step of the Mystic Rose Meditation. Give the beat, Nivedano!
(Drumbeat)
(NIVEDANO GIVES ONE RESOUNDING BEAT ON HIS DRUM AND THE WHOLE OF BUDDHA HALL EXPLODES INTO WILD LAUGHTER FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. THROUGHOUT THE MEDITATION, OSHO APPEARS TO BE WEAVING AND CONDUCTING INVISIBLE CURRENTS OF ENERGY WITH HIS HANDS.)

(Drumbeat)
(EVERYBODY FALLS BACKWARDS ON THE FLOOR TOPPLED HIGGELDY PIGGELDY ON TOP OF EACH OTHER, WHEREVER THEY HAPPEN TO FALL, LYING STILL IN DEEP "LET-GO.")
Relax.
This is it...
The experience... and the bamboos are giving the comment.
Nivedano...
(Drumbeat)
Come back.
(EVERYBODY SLOWLY SITS UP, A FEW MOMENTS OF SUCH A DELICATE SILENCE...)
Okay, Maneesha?
Yes, Osho.
