LEELA NEVVS at a beautiful meditative energy was created over the festival weekend by all of us. Many people shared that they felt touched by the communal energy and it was a heartfelt, joyous and nourishing way to share days together. Being touched by His presence in the Here and Now. Osho's Birthday celebration was attended by well over hundred people and four beloveds were initiated unto the wonderful mystery of sannyas. More friends joined us for a delicious celebratory dinner cooked for us by the "Timeless Team". Saturday morning saw the fearless "Set Up" crew battling the elements as the wind howled across the driveway and the tarpaulin proved to be the wrong size, and would it ever stay up? Many, many visitors and friends joined us throughout the weekend sampling the smorgasbord of' possibilities. Some people were spotted staggering I'rom one mini session to the next, whilst others dove totally into the meditation program, And ati were able to explore avenues of interest, ask questions, relate misgivings, try out something new and catch up with new or old friends. I ingering over a fresh juice or scrumptious salad whilst viewing the superb array of artwork w as also another aspect which added to the overall enjoyment experienced by all,
We would like to extend.W>-.; aug'act'al thanks to i'"'."' everyone who shared their skitdijxi+ e r v ices to make the festival such an outa~ g g g >Vriemorable and high-energy event. Over 20 countries participated in the 21 days Kundalini Meditation. In discussions with participants, we all agreed that once committed to the process, soon the meditation became the most important part of the day. One participant said, "Thank existence, or whatever, that these meditations have come into my life." From the beginning of 1999 membership for Osho Leela pi,,available (for details see enclosed leaflet).

pretty astonishing. I also had a strong experience of love and acceptance in the room, so I was able tn open up emotionally. With no words in the process I think that made it safer for me to allow people in emotionally — very healing. And yes, I alsn find I have becnme a meditator - really! I' ve always had a reason why I couldn't do it - too busy, too this, too that... especially with just sitting. But now the space is just there to fall back into... so simple... I am grateful for that. And didn't we have marvellous suppers with everyone rontributing... it felt like a really juicy generous bunch nf people!
IN THE M A R KETPLACE
A conversation between Ma D eva Alice, facilitator of the 10~ Anniversary Mystic Ros,' Meditation in Fremantle and some of the participants. Alice: H o w w a s it for you, Vi' Rose this time around?
~
4 o i n g th e M y s t i c
Vismaya: Well Alice (giggleh s t r o ng part for me this time was actually getting myself to do it! Having o nly ever done it in Poona, I was unsure how it w o u l d be, doing it here. But I found it w o r ked really well and I felt that, if anything, it enhanced my w or k d u r ing the day. Also it felt like a real relaxation not having to think about what I was doing each night that it was just going to be what it was going to be. So once I had committed myself it was all very easy. When I came back from-Poona the last time, three years ago, I felt really a connection with my m e d i tation space, but definitely in the last twelve months it feels like I lost that connection. And now af ter the Mystic Rose, it's back. The process was so deep and I'm really happy (sighs blissfully), So that's the main thing, a real pathway was made again to that meditative space inside. I notice it's very strong nnw the experience of distance between the space of watching and any fears or worries.Yes that's it... there's more space, that process nf digging has made more space inside me and it' s wonderful! Alice: Yes! Some people mentioned before the group that they considered doing it but decided not to because they thought it might interfere with their w o rk. Well what happened for me was that thc moment we started I got all this work - and it was High School relief teaching! It was totally fine - in fact it was a blast to teach with this meditation going on in the background all the time, Vismaya : I h a d t h is fear with the projects I'd started, that I might sort of leave thc baby, that I'd collapse, but i t just felt like it enhanced everything and w or k continued to come and then during crying week there was a bit of' a lull, so it felt l.ike really being taken care of. It wasn't a problem at all, Alice: An d h ow a bo ut you Rupa'? Rupa: I just find it really amazing that such simple techniques have such profound effects. I remember in the first week I'd find m y self think ing " W hat on earth am I doing here sitting in a room laughing for three hours a day — again for the fourth time?" And there w ere all these incredible changes happening in my l i f e at the same time and not being able to see any logical connection between what we were doing in this room and the changes that were happening - yes that was
Alice: Yes, a real Gourmet Mys tic Rose. (laughter) Rupa: Ha v i n g the silent phase happen in my house took me bark to the time of living in the commune where sannyas and spirituality werc seamlessly connected to the rest of my life, to the business of survival. It feels like that split, between my spiritual life
and thc rest of my life has been healed. My life has become one thing. Alice: Yes, being in Poona, so often I'm aware of how much effort goes into survival out here, into getting work happening. The whole socialgame can take up so much space that I lose contact with w h at's happening on a deeper level. In Poona it dnesn't matter "Living in the what you do fnr a living you' ve earned monastery is living in your money and you' re a static world, in a there, so you really get dormant world. It is a rhance to dig deep because this whole living like a frog in a layer of stuff is
pond, in a w e l l,
irrelevant.The childlike
qualities nf innocencc and delight have such low prior ity in the marketplare because nf you more aw ar e of the whole keeping-it the changes. It is together thing, so it' s been really lovely to be good to be in the able to go tn work and w orld." Os h o bc m that spare and still function and keeping a sense of wonder at the same time. Yes, it's been great for me to get such a strong dose of that bridging that Osho talks about so often. Kaiyum, have you got anything to add?
enclosed. Living in the ocean wi ll m a k e
Kaiyum: As o ne of the centre leaders I found it really great to have it happening here. I didn't participate this year but you could really feel the energy of each stage just by walking in the door - especially with Susheela she went through the crying real good (laughter) I'm nnt such a big cryer but I had a few too! The Mystic Rose Satsang was so beautiful with lots of people coming to sit with the group. Lots of people said afterwards that it was very deep for them. X

that she had been "unconscious" and at that moment she opened her eyes wide and looked around at all of her beloveds. She had a look of utter ecstasy on her face. David had been holding her hand all day with no response, yet in that moment she squeezed his hand, looked in his eyes ... and flew out the top of her head. It was really something! It was really something! David
just kept hearing her saying, "This is great. This is Our Beloved Kaveesha left her body on Thursday afternoon, at 3:30pm Sedona time, On Tuesday afternoon it became obvious that Kaveesha was about to leave the body. It. was incredibly beautiful in the room. She was surrounded by many of her loved ones. David stayed up with her all of Wednesday night, just being present with her. It felt like any moment she would go, she was just hanging on by a thread. It became obvious to David that she was preparing to leave, because there was no reason for her to be hanging around.

URDU FOR " O N K W H O C A R RIKS HKR HOMK ON H KR SHOULDKRS"
've been literally carrying my home on my shoulders for the last five years! — since I left living in the Pune commune.
Those gypsy years provided a fantastic experience in leading groups, conducting indiv i d u al sessions and giving talks all over Europe, as well as in Japan, New Zealand and the USA. I also made many terrific friends, especially in Italy, where people are extra juicy and especially loving (and yes, where the food is particularly calorific!) But a time came when I was longing to have some kind of base that would stand still. ("My case is my base!" I used to tell people who asked where I lived.) That's changed now and I am back here in WA to stay - indef i n i t el . An d v ery happy to be so. I have a feeling that now — more than ever — is Australia's time to turn onto what we' re all about, somehow. For one thing, meditation is definitely no longer "alternative" here but becoming integrated into mainstream lifestyle... as it certainly has done in the USA, where I was working w it h Osho International Foundation this year. There, it's not so much, "Are you into meditation?" - if you' re intelligent and wi th -it and stressed out, (and everyone is, especially in New York City where I was living) of course you meditate! — but more, "What kind do you do?" and "Where do you do it'?" The New York Times ran a big article i '
;, '
d ay
edition, just before I left, entitled something g6' ' lines of 'Where to Have Your Meditation Space~-~" d' went on to look at options. In the house somme@'here, or perhaps you want to create a little place, a la Zen, somewhere in your garden? Designer Donna Karan has a space outside, whereas fellow designer, Diana Von Furstenberg, says she always meditates in bed as soon as she wakes! It is such a blast to see the realization of what Osho predicted years ago - meditation becoming a household word. It's Osho-in-Oz time also, I'm certain, because Milarepa (Osho's Director of Mu sic and Celebration) plans, with Vatayana (Global Connections), to do a
Meditation Camp Tour of Australia this year, either starting in Perth, sometime round November-December. Lots of help will be needed for it to happen, and there will be more details available as it comes together. Just wanted to let everyone know so we can mark it on our. calendar. Lastly, I' ve started what I call a 'Meditation Bank'.
It's something we can all access: when you need a little peace and quiet, you just make a withdrawal. And when you' re feeling blissed out and almost as good as enlightened, you can make a deposit of some of that energy so we all get to benefit! Well, that's not a bad idea but it's not what I meant.

From Osho's birthday celebration on December 11, 1999 until Osho's leaving the body celebration in January 2000, there will be a festival in Poona which all sannyasins are invited to attend to bring in the new millennium! Leading up to these celebrations there will be activities around the world in sannyas centres to focus attention upon Osho and to interest non sannyasins in meditation. As a lead-up to the Australian.

e root problem of all problems is mind itself T he first thin g t o b e understood is what this mind is, of what stuff it is made; whether it is an entity or just a process; whether it is substantial, or just dreamlike, And un less you know the nature of the mind, you w il l not be able to solve any problems of your life. You may try hard, but if you try to solve single, individual problems, you are bound to be a failure that is absolutely certain - because in fact no indivi d u al problem exists: mind is the problem. If you solve this problem or that, it won't help because the root remains untouched. It is just like cutting branches of a tree, pruning the leaves, and not uprooting it.. New leaves will come, new branches will sprout — even more than before; pruning helps a tree to become thicker. Unless you know how to up r oot it, your fight is baseless, it is foolish. You will destroy yourself, not the tree. In fighting you w il l w a ste your energy, time, life, and the tree will go on becoming more and more strong, far thicker and dense. And you w il l be surprised what is
happening: you are domg s o much ha d
The thoughts e~>st separate f ro m v o u ,

they ar e n o t o n e
and th ey g o on growing, increasing. Even if one
with y ou r n a t u re, they come a n d

go -
take i t s place. Don't try to solve individ ual, single problems — there
you rema>n, you persist. You are

the sky, n e ver

comes, never goes,
that's why I call it the root, it is not apparent.

across a problem the problem is above ground, you can see it - that's why you are deceived by it.
Always remember, the visible is never the root; the root always remains invisible, the root is always h idden. Never fight with the visible; otherwise you wi l l fight with shadows. You may waste yourself, but there cannot be any transformation in your life, the same problem will crop up again and again and again. You can observe your own life and you w il l see what I mean. I am not talking about any theory about the mind, just the "facticity" of it. This is the fact: mind has 'to be solved. People come to me and they ask, "How to attain a peaceful mind?" I say to them, "There exists nothing like that: peaceful mind. Never heard of it."

Mind is never peaceful — no-mind is peace. Mind itself can never be peaceful, silent. The very nature of the mind is to be tense, to be in confusion. Mind can never be clear, it cannot have clarity, because mind is by nature confusion, cloudiness, Clarity is possible without mind, peace is possible without mind, silence is possible without mind — so never try to attain a silent mind. If you do, from the very beginning you are
moving in an impossible dimension. So the first thing is to understand the nature of the mind, only then something is done. If you watch, you will never come across any entity like mind. It is not a thing, it is just a process; it is not a thing, it is a crowd. Individual thoughts exist, but they move so fast that you cannot see the gaps in between. The intervals cannot be seen because you are not very aware and alert, you need a deeper insight. When your eyes can look deep, you will suddenly see one thought, another thought, another thought - but no mind. Thoughts together, millions of thoughts, give you the illusion as if mind exists. It is just like a crowd, millions of people standing in a crowd: is there anything like a crowd? Can you find the crowd other than the indivi dual standing there? But they are standing together, their togetherness gives you the feeling as if something like a crowd exists — only individuals exist. is is the first insight into the mind. Watch, and you will find thoughts; you wiH never come across the mind. And if it becomes your own experience — not because I say it, not because Tilopa sings about it, no, that won't be of much help — if it becomes your experience, if it becomes a fact of your own kn o w i n g, then suddenly many things start changing. Because you have understood such a deep thing about mind, then many things can follow. Watch the mind and see where it is, what it is. You will feel thoughts floating and there will be intervals. And if you w atch long you w il l see that intervals are more than the thoughts, because each thought has to be separate from another thought; in fact, each word has to be separate from another word. The deeper you go, you wiH find more and more gaps, bigger and bigger gaps. A thought floats, then comes a gap where no thought exists; then another thought comes, another gap follows. If you are unconscious you cannot see the gap; you can jump from one thought to another, you never see the gap. If you become aware you will see more and more gaps. If you become perfectly aware, then miles of gaps will be revealed to you. And in those gaps, saforis happen. In those gaps the truth knocks at your door. In

those gaps, the guest comes. In those gaps God is realized, or whatsoever way you like to express it. And when awareness is absolute, then there is only a vast gap of nothingness. It is just like clouds: clouds move. They can be so thick that you cannot see the sky hidden behind, The vast blueness of the sky is lost, you are covered with clouds. Then you go on watching: one cloud moves and another has not come into the vision yet — and suddenly a peak into the blueness of the vast sky. The same happens inside: you are the vast blueness of the sky, and thoughts are just like clouds hovering around you, filling you, But the gaps exist, the sky exists. To have a glimpse of the sky is satori, and to become the sky is samadhi, From satori to
samadhi, the whole process is a deep insight into the mind, nothing else. Mind doesn't exist as an entity - the first thing. Only thoughts exist.. he second thing: The thoughts exist separate from you, they are not one with your nature, they come and go — you remain, you persist. You are like the sky: never comes, never goes, it is always there. Clouds come and go, they are momentary phenomena, they are not eternal. Even if you try to cling to a thought, you cannot retain it for long; it has to go, it has its own birth and death, Thoughts are not yours, they don't belong to you. They come as visitors, guests, but they are not the host. Watch deeply, then you will become the host and thoughts will be the guests. And as guests they are beautiful, but. if you forget completely that yo u are the host and they become the hosts, then you are in a mess. That is what hell is. You are the master of the house, the house belongs to you, and guests have become the masters. Receive them, take care of them, but don't get identified with them; otherwise they will become the masters. The mind becomes the problem because you have taken thoughts so deeply inside you that you have forgotten completely the distance; that they are visitors, they come and go. Always remember that which abides: that is your nature, your tao. Always be attentive to that which never comes and never goes, just like the sky. Change the gestalt: don't be focused on the visitors, remain rooted in the hc, t; the visitors will come and go. Of course, there are bad visitors and good visitors, but you need not be worried about them. A good host treats all the guests in the same way, without making any distinctions. A good host is just a good host: a bad thought comes and he treats the bad thought also in the same way as he treats the good thought. It is not his

concern that the thought >s good or bad. Because once you make the distinction that this thought is good and that thought is bad, what are you doing? You are bringing the good thought nearer to yourself and pushing the bad thought further away, Sooner or later, with the good thought you will get identified; the good thought will become the host. And any thought when it becomes the host creates misery because this is not the truth. The thought is a pretender and you get identified with it. Identification is the disease. Gurdjieff used to say that only one thing is needed: not to be identified with that which comes and goes. The morning comes, the noon comes, the evening comes, and they go;the
night comes and again the morning. You abide: not as you, because that too is a thought - as pure consciousness; not your name, because that too is a thought; not your form, because that too is a thought; not your body, because one day you will realize that too is a thought. 7ust pure consciousness, with no name, no form; just the purity, just the formlessness and namelessness, just the very phenomena of being aware — only that abides. If you get identified you become the mind. If you get identified you become the body. If you get identified you become the name and the form — what Hindus call nama, rupa, name and form - then the host is lost. Then you forget the eternal and the momentary becomes significant. The momentary is the world; the eternal is divine. This is the second insight to be attained, that you are the host and thoughts are the guest.
he third thing, if you go on watching, will be realized soon. The third thing is that thoughts are foreign, intruders, outsiders. No thought is yours. They always come from without, you are just a passage. A bird comes into the house from one door, and flies out from another: just like that a thought comes into you and goes out of you. You go on thinking that thoughts are yours, Not only that, you fight for your thoughts, you say, "This is my thought, this is true." You discuss, you debate, you argue about it, you try to prove that, "This is my thought." No thought is yours, no thought is original all thoughts are borrowed. And not secondhand, because millions of people have claimed those same thoughts before you. Though & ~ st a s o u tside as a thing. I OSHO Tantra: The Supreme Understanding, Chapter II
... Ma Prem Ajasta and Swami Jivan Grahi w ho have both taken sannyas in 19 9 8
Ajasta, how did you hear of Osho? Ajasta: A couple of years ago, I did some tantric workshops down in Denmark that were run by a sannyasin guy. That was my first introduction. Then I started
becoming more interested, reading a few Osho books and whenever I met sannyasins I would ask a Int of questions.
What attracted you to sannyas? Ajasta: I guess it represents some kind of freedom. I' ve been searching for a long time for something, not knnwing what. And just the way I was able to express myself in these workshops, the way I was supported and encouraged really clicked with me and I just wanted more and more and more...
What's the significance for you of becoming a sannyasin rather than just being a meditator? Ajasta: Mm m h , maybe it has to do with support. For me being with Osho, is the first time that I felt and allowed pure unconditional love coming from a male representation. That was really imp o rtant for me, I never felt that before. And it's like a commitment to
strive forward and to keep searching and to keep going through all the layers and wor k ing through my issues. E ven having a name Ajasta is like, okay, now I'm th i s and this is what I'm w o r k in g to, it's 'eternal love', it' s me and I'm allowed to be me, this is who I am. It's good for me, it really works for me, especially since I'm a Gemini. I find I'm all over the place and not very continuous with things. Sannyas is something, that is in my life and it's gonna be there, no matter what.
How was Poona for you? Ajasta: It w as pretty amazing - I decided to go and within two weeks I was there. I had no intentions to take sannyas, I vvas just drawn there and I had the opportunity to go b ecause my kids were away. I ended up there before I even knew it. It was beautiful and the energy was nice, but I did n't really think I was gonna take sannyas, I was just sort of checking it out. And then one day I was doing a group w ith Devapath and in one of the group rooms there was a really big picture of Osho on the wall. I was just lying there, during a break on my own, looking at it and suddenly I was overcome with this emotion. I started crying and crying and I couldn't stop and it just was this feeling of absolute pure, unconditional love. It sounds really weird because it was just a picture, but I really felt something. From then on there was no doubt. in my mind that he somehow touched me. Sort of like taking me by the hand, saying, okay, together we can get through all your shit.
How was it to do groups and meditations in Poona? Ajasta: I spent most of my time on my own. I did a couple of groups. I just got really high on being on my own, because my children have been around constantly, always having expectations and being judged on how I should be acting. And in Poona I was totally anonymous, I was just Ajasta and no-one had any expectations, no obligations and I could just float around and just be ... in my essence.
How do you ex perience Osho's meditations? Ajasta: Os ho's meditations for me are really gnod, because a lot of them are really physical. Being a Gemini I have so much stuff going on in my head that it is difficult for me to just decide to sit. I like to dance, the movement is great and it gets me tn a place where I can stop and center. So I find the more physcial the meditation the better for me, at the moment.
I heard you ~ r ot e a p a pe r a b out Osho? How is it for you to have a masler without a ~ Ajasta: It 's actually really good for me, because I have a lot of rejection issues. And if Osho was in his body and I was with him, then I w o uld create some kind of relationship, a male-female type relationship. Where as now, he's there, around, unconditionally, I don't have to be where he is at, because I feel he is with me anyway. I don't have any possibility of confusing the relationship with other terms of love. It's just what it is, a master足
Ajasta: Yes, I'm studying An t h r o pology and it was for a religion course. The lecturer was quite shocked that I chose Osho. People just assume that Osho is dead and that's it, it's a cult and it's gone and there's nothing there. But I was meeting so many young people, in Poona and here in Australia, who were taking sannyas and were opening up. This generation of young people, they want to work th rough their stuff and they don' t want the cycle to continue. So, it is just growing and

growing, it's not dying at all and that just confirms that

you ... it's almost like he chooses you ... he doesn't have to be in his body at all. And it's sn huge now, so many people are taking sannyas and bringing new energy in, And things are changing and I think also reviving something - it's far from over. I also went into looking at the whole set-up, the sociology of it, where the money went, what happened, the Oregon thing... it was really, really interestmg. Because sannyas feels so right for me, I feel really passionate it and it comes out in my w o rk. I' ve done two or three assignments at school, I even compared Osho tn Marx (laughing).

Grahi, how d '

of O s h o f
I was domg a re
" g r oup about
two years ago aitd went along with one of the guys to Club Zorba. At first I was a bit dubious about it, because people were dancing by themselves and that was the first time I ever experienced that. I sort of persevered with going every fortnight and eventually got to reaHy enjoy it. After quite a few months I noticed the picture of this Indian guy nn the wail. By that time I knew one or two people and I asked them about it and they explained who he was and what it was all about. It took me a long time to get involved in Osho as opposed to just the dancing, which I really enjoyed. Because I was very snrt of uptight and I think dancing is very good for me, like a therapy. After a year of going there I got to know a couple of sannyasins and liked very much the kind of air they had about them.. One
morning, I was invited to go to a Dynamic Meditate ' ' By that time I'd actually started learning Vipassana Meditation as well. The idea of doing a meditahon that was something totally different sounded very interesting, so I went: along. I thought it was just incredible. After doing a few more dynamics and after participating in the Worldw ide 21 Day Dynamic, and getting to know a few sannyasins better, I realized that it was what I'd been looking for. I'd been kind of looking at alternative religions and meditation, but at that point the idea of physical meditations really appealed and the sort of stuff a lot of the sannyasins were saying and living by also really appealed to me. So I went of tn India, in May, June, July this year and took sannyas while I was there.
W hat attracted you t o s a n n y a s i I was a very typical western male, three years ago. Working very hard, cnnsidering myself a provider, very uptight, angry, frustrated with life in general. What really appealed to me about the sannyasins was just hnw they were the opposite tn what I was, They were enjoying life, they were not uptight, very loose about life, not at all dogmatic, very flexible, just living each moment as it comes along - don't wo rry about what you' ve stuffed up in the past or have any regrets, don' t

plan for the future, dnn't be so much in the head, dnn't think about things so much. They weren't saying don't, they were actually saying do all these other things, which is just living for the moment. I sort of new that from some of the meditations and the bnok I had been reading, but it was all head knowledge. Seeing the sannyasins here in Australia, was the first time I was seeing people living it. Some people actually had been were I was and decided not to live a mainstream life, not to work 12 hours a day, not making money a priority for them. In fact most sannyasins I know are permanently broke (laughing) and it is very refreshing, but in spite of that it is the happiest community of people I' ve seen. They just enjoy life. They' re all great dancers, they all look healthy, they all care for their bodies and live for the moment. It just really appealed to me.
What's the significance for you of becoming a sannyasin rather than just being a meditator'P About three years ago I was introduced to Vipassana meditation at Perth School of Meditation. I was actually recommended to do that by my doctor at the time and by quite a few friends. I sort of knew instinctively that meditation would be good for me anyway. For the first time in my life, I really felt slowed down and grounded, consciously stopping and reflecting, I had always been a person who was incredibly impatient, just wanting to get things done, never stopping for a rest. I pushed my body as far as it could go and I was suffering from extreme stress. So meditation was really gond for me. Dynamic Meditation, after doing a year of Vipassana, was so different but actually achieved some of the same effects with even more benefits, The significance of taking sannyas was for me the commitment to a life of meditation. Before I went to India I d i d n' t really know w hat Osho was all about. The attraction for me was going into the different types of meditations. I had been religious many years ago and that was something I wanted to stay clear. of. Another attraction to Osho was his almost anti-religion, anti足 convention stance. Taking sannyas for me was not really a spiritual thing, it wasn't done with any spiritual intent. It was a statement that I wanted to be part of what I' ve seen of the sannyas community.
How is it for you to have a m a ster without
a body' I think to start with it was a real problem for me, thinking that I'm never gnnna meet him, I'm never gonna be touched by him. But I think it has its advantages as well, because what I did see when I was going to Poona was that it was all so easy, like a well足 oiled business, all very smooth, particularly in my case. I did feel as though I was missing something, because I hadn't been through the initiation of fire like a lot of the old sannyasins have. Like in the way of having hassles coming into India and building up a community from the bottom. I do feel as though I missed out there, And not having Osho around in the body, yes I guess I am slightly envious of some of the sannyasms that have

been through the earlier times. As a new sannyasin I do find it hard to relate to Osho as a master and spiritual leader. I think of him as an enlightened person and what he says and does is absolutely incredible. I' ve never been involved in a master-disciple relationship or never had anybody I worked with or solely admired. Maybe it's a little bit of
pride in me, maybe it's okay, but I find I couldn' t worship Osho. I think he actually said to us not to do that anyway. I just have an incredible respect. I guess it's a shame that you can't be around him and talk to him, but I guess in reality even if he was around he wouldn't be available personally anyvvay. I feel the books and discourses are more than enough to drink from.
How was being in Poona for yo,:- '-'" Poona was great, The decision to go to Poona was made in a foreign way for me, After having done the 21 Days Dynamic Meditation, it just felt right. And I said yes I'd like togo to Poona, picked up the phone and booked. That was the first time I' ve ever done something like that without thinking just going on my in t u i tion. As I said earlier, I had quite an easy entrance to Poona. The only name I had tolook up was Samveda's. As I was arriving in Poona after having done the Aids test and all the rest I went down to the German Bakery. I sat down with my coffee and this guy sat down next to me. I started chatting with him and asked if he knew a guy called Samveda. He said: "Yes I'm getting to know him, my name is Samveda," and he helped me to find a really nice room. So really it was a good introduction to Poona, I also had some pretty low ti mes there, like getting bitten by a dog and getting a nasty burn when I was working in the kitchen. To start with I also felt very lonely, but after a couple of groups and some work I got to know a few people and that was great. I did three groups while I was there. The first one was a breath group which I enjoyed, but I felt that breath work didn' t do very much for me. Then I did 'From the Head to the Heart' which was incredible for me, just a wonderful, wonderful course to do. Then the third one was 'Who is In?'. I didn't know w h at I was getting myself into. I had just discovered Chai four days before doing the groups and had been drinking four, five cups a day. When we weren't allowed to have any caffeine in the group, I had headaches from the caffeine withdr aw al. I felt really sick and all I wanted to do is get out of there. But I actually persevered and on the last day in the last couple of hours I had an absolutely wonderful breakthrough in terms of my understanding what love is all about. It was worth the four days of pain getting there. I particularly enjoyed in Poona the Osho meditations as well as all the dancing. In particular I love the AUM M e d i t ation, which was absolutely incredible for me. We started after White Robe and finished around 1.30am with my eyes wide open, buzzing and full of energy. It was the biggest high I had for ages. A Interview by Ailandana

FEED NG TKE BUDDHAF ELD A HINT I'ROM M R by Swami Anancl:,Suds>r is story begins, as have the, fast couple, with a trip to Osho Leela Meditation Centre. This time I received, by courtesy of Susheela, a copy of a book called 'The Dialogues of Gurdjieff', by Jan Cox — direct
from I'oona, where it is presently being devoured by those who like to feed on such thmgs. Over the years, I have read everything I could possibly get my hands on, by and about Mr Gurdjieff, but I have never even seen or heard of this one. Existence is always one
up.
2
'The Dialogues of Gurdjieff' profess to be the notes of a man, known as
'Lee', who Gurdjieff graced with his presence and spoke openly and infor to, in a way that he didn't with his mo' formal students. Of course, many late nights smoking cigarettes and drinking copious amounts of either Cognac or Vodka, were involved. They are utterly fascinating talks and more than that - useful. In this book, there is a most amazing Dialogue, early on in the piece, that has made sense of something, a bit disturbing, that has been going on for and around me. This talk feels really valuable, so I am going to quote it at length. Some of Gurdjieff's language is a bit different to Osho's, so let me define one thing first, to avoid confusion
' Cr'
eat its own self to extinction. A Work Group is the same. If I do not attract and take in new people, that is, new food, continually, the Group will begin to turn on itself and the end is near. Those involved would never know what had happened, but they would just gradually begin to tire of the Work; they would begin to find fault with each other, me, the System and the Work itself. The Group would simply eat itself up. New people arenew food; they come and they go; they are taken in, digested and expelled like waste products, and all most necessary. Within the Work, everyone serves his purpose. I see people come to me and this System, and no matter what their imagination tells them, I see that they are roughage. I know that they will not long last; they will come awhile, listen to the ideas, discuss them with their friends, argue with my methods, finally decide that I am a madman or worse, and depart. But they have served a most necessary function. They were eaten and passed out as fertiliser, but if it had not been them it would have been someone else; perhaps someone who had been with me for years and who attempted to make real effort. But the organism of a Group e must eat; it is a matter of who shall be the meal for today. It is the vital organs that survive the longest, even during starvation, so a man must make himself vital to the Work and the System so that it it will not be he today who falls into the indiscriminate pit of this ravenous stomach.
'THE WORK' — (Which Osho of course calls, play) The personal struggle of indiv i d ual men and women to reach their highest possible potential, man's attempt to become God. In G's words - "Truth wi t h out form, reality without explanation; more than all hopes, less than all dreams. A terror to behold, a joy to experience the mirror of man. The connecting ends of a great and secret circle, closing the gap twixt ail and nothing. It is The Work." So, here it goes. Mr 'G' thrives on shocking, so let yourself really experience the full impact(!): "'Most of those who have been around me for even long periods, cannot understand some of my public activities and they cannot comprehend why I allow people to join in the activities, who seem so patently unsuited. But they do not understand the Group's need for nourishment. If the human body does not take in outside nourishment, it soon begins to turn i t's appetite on itself, and if carried far enough it wi l l

rough a few patches in the last year or so, where I have felt like I am falling into the Groups digestive processes and am about to be expelled, We have all seen a lot of people come and go. This story affirms what I actually suspected but couldn't define, Life as a sannyasin has felt a bit insular of late; - cut off from the fresh incoming energy of people outside our safe c I I'cl es. Somehow this wonderful blast of Gurdjieff's has rekindled my appreciation of the need to keep attracting new and intelligent people into the ener -. '~, field of sannyas. It has put this need into a really @-'' healthy perspective. It is not for them - it's for me!
