Guest guest Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 Osho, Nansen said to the assembled monks: "Old Master O ('O' was Nansen's own lay name) is going to sell himself. Will anyone buy him?" A monk came out and said: "I will!" Nansen said: "Don't make me dear; don't make me cheap. How will you buy me?" The monk was silent. On another occasion Nansen was asked by a monk: "Where will the master be gone in a hundred years' time?" Nansen said: "I'll be a water-colored ox." The monk said: "May I follow you or not?" Nansen said: "Well, if you do, bring a mouthful of grass with you!" Maneesha, life can be taken as a drama, as a play, or can be taken very seriously. Those who take it very seriously suffer immensely, unnecessarily. They suffer if they fail, they suffer if they are victorious, they suffer if they are poor, they suffer if they are rich.
