Noby- you are on to it now- just relaxing doing nothing (no-thing-ness) and the grass grows by itself!

much water has gone underneath the bridge-and yet here we are- still here in the body -

the future looks uncertain -

the past is dead-

and nearly all mistakes that could be made - we have participated in.

and wiser?

that remains to be seen.

one thing for certain-death will come - uninvited

to the body and mind

so the challenge is still finding a way not to die- in the sense of the body mind

ain't going to happen.

so - the last ray of hope is to cling on to something that will go beyond this finality

Osho says that finding one's center of being is the only way to reach the other shore- and all meditations eventually lead to the within.

i have found the outer part- but of yet i am not totally convinced that this is the life-raft- i would like to- but you know the mind- it is a natural born doubter- has a doctorate in doubting.

so i continue deeper and deeper within- the only problem is as always- the chattering mind-

only witnessing is the cure- claims Osho- so i begrudgingly do the witnessing when i can remember to do it- and in this insane world - with so many things popping up unexpectively - it is easy to resort to the old habits in confronting these bizzare crazy situations that happen.

but Rome was not built in one day and we have been- unconscious for such a long spell- but it will happen- i feel it and i somehow know for certain that enlightenment will happen for us - very soon.

at least i will die trying or non- trying for this self realization- allowing it to happen.

just a little more effort.

and out of the Life Love and Laughter- the formula of - the true spirit of the "New Man" - the most essential one is "Laughter!"

so have a good Laugh every day of your Life and Love will surely follow!

p.s. i have found another old photo when i was a young sannyasin back in the seventies and dressed up in my finest Pune threads-

and was at some friends house here in town and they wanted to capture the moment - to which i protested at first - but finally let them take this photo.
