Q: I got so excited today when you dropped Mahavira, Buddha and Jesus in the wastepaper basket. It was like a breath of mountain air. You gave us a glimpse of yourself that was so intimate and so mischievous. Would you like to play Puck in our next production of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream?’

I am not here to fulfill your expectations. If I fulfill your expectations I will never be able to transform you. I am here to destroy all your expectations; I am here to shock you. And in those shocking experiences your mind will stop. You will not be able to figure it out: and that
“The buddha is nothing but a door into eternity,
into godliness, into the divine existence,” says Osho.
Humanity is dying. All that is human is disappearing, and all that is inhuman is becoming more and more dominating and powerful. Osho, The Book of Wisdom, Ch 24, Q 1

Okay, Nivedano… (Drumbeat) (Gibberish) Nivedano… Be silent. Close your eyes. Feel your body to be completely frozen.
