| Once, after Daiji had become an enlightened master, he said to his monks, “I’m not going to explain any more debates; you know, it’s just a disease.” At this, a monk stood up from the assembly and came forward; Daiji went back to his room. On another occasion, when Daiji was sweeping the ground, Joshu asked him how to manifest prajna. Daiji repeated, “How can we manifest prajna?” At this, Joshu gave a great laugh. The next day, seeing Joshu sweeping the ground, Daiji asked him, “How can we manifest prajna?” Joshu put down his broom and laughed aloud, clapping his hands. Daiji went back to his room. Certainly Daiji has not yet come to the point where he can understand that there are things which cannot be understood, and there are mysteries which remain always mysteries. You can live them, you can sing them, you can dance them, but you cannot explain them. Who has been able to explain what is beauty? Who has been able to explain what is truth? These mysteries have been experienced by many, by thousands down the ages in all parts of the world – it is nobody’s monopoly... --Osho No Mind: The Flowers of Eternity, ch. 7 |
