the smile off her face!
Now, it is time, Nivedano, to give a beat and everybody really goes crazy. Totally!
(Drumbeat)
(Gibberish)
Nivedano ...
(Drumbeat)
Everybody goes into deep silence.
Close your eyes and become just a frozen stone statue of Buddha.
Deeper and deeper ...
It is your own being, there is no question of fear.
Be drowned into the silence, the peace, the bliss.
That is your being's very fragrance.
See the full moon and remember it.
In every activity, in every moment, it is always inside you.
This is your eternal being.
To make it more clear to you and more sharply realized ...
Nivedano ...
(Drumbeat)
And everybody dies.

It is your immortal treasure, and it gives you total freedom.
It makes you the emperor, without any outer empire.
Great! Great! the experience of oneself.
The full moon night.
Nivedano ...
(Drumbeat)
Come back, back into your buddha posture.
Somebody may have died really -- give another beat! ...
(Drumbeat)
This is good.
This may really resurrect even one who has entered his grave.
Nivedano is a master.
Okay, Maneesha?
Yes, Osho.
Can we celebrate the moment with so many buddhas?
Yes!
