is curious to know what is written on the note, but no one dares to ask. Then one day, the note falls out of Reagan's pocket, and Ed Meese picks it up. He sees that only one word is written on it, "KISS."
"That is amazing," says Meese. "You have been married for forty years, and still Nancy sends you a kiss before every speech you make."
"You don't know Nancy," snaps Reagan. "That message does not says `Kiss,' it says `K-I-S-S,' which means, `Keep it short, stupid.'"
Now, Nivedano give the beat and everybody goes into gibberish, making any sound, any craziness ... just throw it out. Clean your mind.
Give the beat.
(Drumbeat)
(Gibberish)
Nivedano ...
(Drumbeat)
Everybody becomes absolutely silent.
No movement, be frozen.
Close your eyes and go in.
This silence ... and who cares for the Sumeru Mountains?
This silence ... and who cares for any paradise?
This singing and dancing moment in the deepest being, the eternal silence.
No birth, no death.
The whole secret in your hands.
To catch hold of this silence ... Nivedano ...
(Drumbeat)
Everybody dies.
Die totally, at least.
Let the body breathe, let the heart beat ...
You just go in.
This is the Way of the Bird, this is the song of the solitary cuckoo.
This benediction is the only religion.
Remember it every moment of your life.
In every action this silence should remain as an undercurrent.
Nivedano ...
(Drumbeat)
Come back rejuvenated, more alert, more conscious, more integrated, more individual.
Just a glory unto yourself.
Love yourself.
You are a unique splendor.
Be thankful and grateful to existence.
Okay, Maneesha?
Yes, Osho.
Can we celebrate?
Yes!
