Osho : Meditate on this small parable, a real story.<\/p>\n

Ma Tsu heard of Ta Mei\u2019s stay on the mountain, and sent a monk to ask him this question….Ma Tsu is a great Zen master, and Ta Mei is one of his disciples \u2013 he had thousands of disciples. The master sent some-body to ask the disciple some question \u2013 because he is staying on a mountain, alone, meditating, just sitting silently there. Now, the master must be feeling that he is getting settled or something. So he sends a person. He cannot go \u2013 he is very old, it will be difficult for him to climb the mountain \u2013 but he wants to see whether this Ta Mei can still be unsettled or not. He must be thinking to unsettle this Ta Mei, so…<\/p>\n

Ma Tsu heard of Ta Mei\u2019s stay on the mountain and sent a monk to ask him this question: \u2019What did you obtain when you called on the great master Ma Tsu and what prompted you to stay here?\u2019<\/p>\n

Ta Mei replied, \u2019The great master told me that mind was Buddha and that is why I came to stay here.\u2019<\/p>\n

The monk said, \u2019The great master\u2019s Buddha Dharma is different now.\u2019<\/p>\n

Ta Mei asked, \u2019What is it now?\u2019<\/p>\n

The monk replied, \u2019He says it is neither mind nor Buddha.\u2019<\/p>\n

Ta Mei laughed and said, \u2019That old man is causing confusion in the minds of others and all this will have no end. Let him say that it is neither mind nor Buddha. As far as I am concerned, mind is Buddha.\u2019<\/p>\n

When the monk returned and reported the above dialogue to Ma Tsu, the latter was very happy and said, \u2019The plum is now ripe.\u2019 \u2019Ta Mei\u2019 in Chinese means \u2019big plum\u2019. \u2019The plum is ripe now, I cannot unsettle him.\u2019 Now even the master cannot unsettle the disciple. The disciple has arrived; now he knows all the tricks of the old man.<\/p>\n

If you get unsettled, this simply means you have not yet under-stood me. And I will go on unsettling you, till you understand. One day you will understand what I am doing here \u2013 destroying belief-systems, one by one. And not giving any belief-system to you instead as a supplement. You are not much worried about destroying a belief-system \u2013 if you come as a Christian and I destroy your Christianity, you are not much worried. You would like to become a Rajneeshite \u2013 then it is okay.<\/p>\n

But when I start destroying that too, then you say, \u2019Now this is too much. Somehow I managed to come out of my Christianity and I was getting settled in this Rajneeshianity \u2013 and this man is now driving me out of that too. So where am I going to land?\u2019 I don\u2019t want you to settle anywhere.<\/p>\n

The whole is your home \u2013 why choose small homes? Why create small gardens? The whole wilderness is yours, this wide world is yours, this whole belongs to you. Don\u2019t become ever an \u2019ist\u2019, don\u2019t believe in any \u2019ism\u2019. When you drop all \u2019isms,\u2019 truth comes to you \u2013never before it. That price has to be paid<\/p>\n
