When Gautama the Buddha Auditorium becomes too small to contain all the seekers coming to Poona, our Beloved Master goes on a tour of the universe looking for a new site.
At one stop, he arrives at the Pearly Gates and is greeted by Saint Peter. The Christian saint takes one look at the man before him, and nearly faints.
“My God! You? Up here? And you want a two-week tourist visa?” cries Peter. “I must have a talk with God first.” And Saint Peter scuttles away to find God Almighty.
God is not very pleased at Saint Peter’s news, and after a lot of deep thought, he tells Saint Peter, “Okay … He can stay for a short while, but only on one condition: no discourses!”
A couple of weeks later, God runs into Saint Peter again.
“How is everything going with ‘You-know-who’?” asks God. “Is everything all right?”
“Just great, Swami-ji!” replies Saint Peter. “Everything is YAA-HOO!”
