Part X : 1987-1990 Poona-Two : Osho's teases:
Sardarji
Sardar Gurudayal Singh is laughing. And he does nothing, he
just remains a buddha the whole day. You can find him in any position,
but he will be the buddha. He has been with me for thirty-five
years. Hitting him again and again, I have awakened him so much
that now it is difficult for him to sleep! So he goes on waking
up other people. What else to do when you cannot sleep? You cannot
allow anybody else to sleep, it is too much. turnin04
Now it is time for Sardar Gurudayal Singh.
Sardar Gurudayal Singh has a special time (Sardarji gives a special
whoop at this, and everybody laughs with him) because he is a
special man. (Sardarji releases an even longer "whooooooo!"
Accompanied by more laughter.)
His speciality is—there are many new guests so I want
to tell them—that he is the only man in the whole world
who laughs before the joke is told!
And these jokes have a certain spiritual purpose. We have been
serious…. (Sardarji punctuates again.) Before going into
meditation, you have to calm down, relax, laugh, forget all about
religion…. (This time, Sardarji really enjoys!) christ01
When you laugh, laugh totally, without any considerations. Don't
hold anything back. Learn to laugh from Sardar Gurudayal Singh,
who is a laugh unto himself—a real joke. He is the only
man in the whole world I have come across who laughs before the
joke. There are people who laugh in the middle of the joke because
they suddenly realize what is going to happen. But from the very
beginning, when I have not even started…that is the real
and authentic man of laughter. And I know…he has his disciples.
He is a very respected, old sannyasin. People sit around him just
to have a good laugh. dogen05
It is time for Sardar Gurudayal Singh—a really great time.
Put on the light, because I want to see the faces of my people
laughing! celebr02
And a good news before I take the sutras.
A famous New York sculptress, Martine Vaugel has just now taken
sannyas from the New York Center of Neo-Sannyas International.
She is a world-famous sculptress. She must have been listening
to my tapes, and must have been hearing Sardar Gurudayal Singh's
name every day. So, without seeing him—she has not yet come
to Poona, and she has not seen Sardar Gurudayal Singh…but
this is the sensitivity of an artist, a creativity. She has made
a statue of Sardar Gurudayal Singh, and she has sent me a picture
of the statue to see whether she is right? And I was amazed. She
is absolutely right. The picture looks almost like Sardar Gurudayal
Singh.
(the master holds up the photograph of Sardar Gurudayal Singh
for all to see. In response, everyone cheers and claps.)
Sardar Gurudayal Singh…take your picture!
(The master, enjoying the situation immensely, holds out the photograph
for Sardar to take.) celebr06
