Part X : 1987-1990 Poona-Two : Osho's teases
Vimal
Vimal, who reads the questions whenever Maneesha is unable to,
wears on one occasion a Ghandi cap and pyjamas
I am puzzled looking at Vimal's situation. Now the poor fellow
is wearing a cap to deceive me. He must be thinking that perhaps
I will think somebody else is there. He was even using glasses—and
he cannot read with the glasses on, that's why I had asked him
to take off the glasses.
And this shirt, and this cotton pajama…This seems to belong
to that fellow who lives in the bamboo hut! Perhaps he forgot
to mention about the Gandhi cap—Gandhi cap, Nehru shirt…and
the pajama certainly belongs to someone else because I have never
seen Vimal in such a situation. He is praying day and night—but
Maneesha is also very stubborn. Now she will prolong her cold
one knows not how long and poor Vimal is going to suffer every
day…. yaahoo18
On another night Vimal wears a sari
A real woman is sitting in front of me! I offer to introduce
you to this woman. You will not find such a woman anywhere in
the world; with a small beard, a beautiful mustache…And
really looking beautiful!
I wonder, why has Vimal not been using this dress from the very
beginning? After I have left, you all have to see her—I
really mean her, it is not a mistake—and rejoice in a real
woman. yaahoo19
Just before osho's car comes, a big black gorilla enters the
hall and sits behind Maneesha.
Now look, just by the side of Maneesha, a gorilla is sitting.
Gorilla, sir, will you stand up?
That's good.
Soon it is going to be very difficult, if tigers and gorillas
hear you—and they are bound to hear, because here is a place
where they can be respected.
So playful, so childlike, so non-serious, so alive is the approach
of Zen.
It is perfectly good for tigers and lions and deer to come to
this gathering. They will appear, for this gorilla is going to
spread the news. Gorilla sir, please be silent, although it is
not your way, neither is it in your nature; but please don't start
gossiping about this temple. We don't want tigers and lions, because
we don't have space. Just wait a little…once we have got
a bigger space, which we will be getting, then you can bring all
the gorillas—you must have friends, a wife, children. A
gorilla does not believe in celibacy, he is not a Catholic monk.
And having a few gorillas here dancing with you will be a real
joy. Today you will have to be satisfied with only one. But when
one comes, a second will be close behind him….
I would love every species to be represented here, but unfortunately
there is not much space and when such great people as gorillas
start coming…They are your forefathers, be respectful. This
is not me, but Charles Darwin speaking.
I don't know whether this gorilla can give a good gorilla shout.
(the gorilla screams loudly.)
Don't make Maneesha afraid! Be a gentleman! It is a question of
the dignity and respect of gorilla culture. Anyway, everybody
is happy that you have come. I hope you will give a dance too
at the end. So get ready…. quant03
Although Vimal was hiding behind a gorilla coat, still Vimal
was Vimal.
The body that Vimal has is another coat, given by biology. Behind
that coat, given by your society there is another layer: the mind.
And within that mind is your temple, your buddha. We are searching
here for nobody else but our own authentic being.
It was good of Vimal to come in a gorilla dress, because everybody
is wearing different kinds of dresses. The inside has the same
taste, the same sweetness, the same song, the same laughter. quant04
