Much love,

Chaya and Indivar

“I have chosen Leela, one of my therapists to create a new meditative therapy. The first part will be Yaa-Hoo! – for three hours, people simply laugh for no reason at all. And whenever their laughter starts dying they again say, ‘Yaa-Hoo!’ and it will come back. Digging for three hours you will be surprised how many layers of dust have gathered upon your being. It will cut them like a sword, in one blow. For seven days continuously, three hours every day… you cannot conceive how much transformation can come to your being.

“And then the second part is ‘Yaa-Boo’. The first part removes everything that hinders your laughter – all the inhibitions of past humanity, all the repressions. It cuts them away. It brings a new space within you, but still you have to go a few steps more to reach the temple of your being, because you have suppressed so much sadness, so much despair, so much anxiety, so many tears – they are all there, covering you and destroying your beauty, your grace, your joy.

“In old Mongolia they had an ancient idea that every life, whatever pain is suppressed… and pain is suppressed, because nobody wants it. You don’t want to be painful so you suppress it, you avoid, you look somewhere else. But it remains.

“And the Mongolian idea was – and I agree with it – that life after life it goes on accumulating in you; it becomes almost a hard shell of pain. That’s why all the saints and the sages have been telling you, shouting – “Go into yourself!” You listen to them, but you don’t go. There is a reason why you don’t go: you know that going in, you have to encounter pain; going in, you have to encounter misery, suffering, agony. It is better to remain outside – engaged, busy. Never be alone, because in your aloneness you may unconsciously start moving inwards. Being alone, having nothing else to do you may start looking inwards.

“People have invented all kinds of things to escape from themselves: they may smoke cigarettes… Not that they need them. I have never felt any need for cigarettes, so I cannot conceive that there is any necessity for anybody to be so stupid. When pure air is available, he is making his breathing full of poison, and he is paying for it! But there must be some reason. Why do millions of people go on smoking? The reason is, it keeps you occupied. Even if you are alone, it does not leave you unoccupied.

“These are devices of your mind. There are people who are chewing gum. Now what a nonsense thing to do! – chewing gum? Are you sane or insane? Can’t you chew anything else? No sane person can do this unnecessary exercise of chewing gum. But it keeps you occupied, so millions of people are chewing gum.

“All your conversations, your so-called busyness is almost without any purpose, without any business. But it helps just one thing: you don’t come across yourself. There is too much pain.

“So you can listen to the sages, to the awakened ones, and you can nod – You are right, but my time has not come yet. Please forgive me; I have still to chew gum, I have still to smoke cigarettes. You are great, you can drop these things. We are small people, how can we drop cigarettes and chewing gum?”

“Just see the stupidity of it all. But behind the stupidity there must be some psychology and the psychology is: anything that helps you to avoid yourself becomes useful. Football match, volleyball, boxing…somebody else is doing it, you are just looking, but that looking takes you away from your own inside.

“If you go in you will find both, laughter and tears. That’s why sometimes it happens that by laughing, suddenly you find tears also start coming together with it – very confusing, because ordinarily we think they are contrary. When you are full of tears it is not a time to laugh, or when you are laughing it is not the right season for tears. But existence does not believe in your concepts, ideologies. Existence transcends all your concepts, which are dualistic, which are based on duality. Day and night, laughter and tears, pain and blissfulness, they both come together.

“When a man reaches into his innermost being he will find the first layer is of laughter and the second layer is of agony, tears.

“So for seven days you have to allow yourself to weep, cry, for no reason at all – just the tears are ready to come. You have been preventing them. Just don’t prevent, and whenever you feel they are not coming, just say, ‘Yaa-Boo!’

“These are pure sounds, used as a technique to bring all your laughter and all your tears and clean you completely, so that you can become an innocent child.

“This is absolutely my meditation.

“You will be surprised that no meditation can give you so much as this small strategy. This is my experience of many meditations, that what has to be done is to break two layers in you. Your laughter has been repressed; you have been told, “Don’t laugh, it is a serious matter.” You are not allowed to laugh in a church, or in a university class…

“So the first layer is of laughter, but once laughter is over you will suddenly find yourself flooded with tears, agony. But that too will be a great unburdening phenomenon. Many lives of pain and suffering will disappear. If you can get rid of these two layers you have found yourself.

“Maneesha, there is no meaning in the words, `Yaa-Hoo’ or `Yaa-Boo’. These are simply techniques, sounds which can be used for a certain purpose to enter into your own being.

“And you may have felt it – when you shout, ‘Yaa-Hoo!’ you may have felt a sudden breeze of freshness and joy.

“I don’t want so many people to cry here; that’s why I have not used the other part. That is to be used in special groups.

“I have invented many meditations, but perhaps this will be the most essential and fundamental one. It can take over the whole world. Already from every country news cuttings are coming to me – ‘What is this Yaa-Hoo!?’ People are making up meanings of their own, but it has taken over around the world. Now the second thing is Yaa-Boo! And the whole process of Yaa-Hoo and Yaa-Boo, the couple, married… arranged marriage!

“Every society has done so much harm by preventing your joys and your tears. If an old man starts crying you will say, ‘What are you doing? You should feel ashamed; you are not a child, that somebody has taken your banana and you are crying. Have another banana, but don’t cry.’

“Just see – stand on the street and start crying and a crowd will gather to console you: “Don’t cry! Whatever has happened forget all about it, it has happened.” Nobody knows what has happened, nobody can help you, but everybody will try – “Don’t cry!” And the reason is that if you go on crying, then they will start crying, because they are also flooded with.…

“Those tears are very close to the eyes.

“And it is a healthy thing to cry, to weep, to laugh. Now scientists are discovering that crying, weeping, laughter, are immensely healthful; not only physically but also psychologically, they are very much capable of keeping you sane. The whole of humanity has gone a little cuckoo, for the simple reason that nobody laughs fully because all around there are people who will say, “What are you doing? Are you a child? – at this age? What will your children think? Keep quiet!”

“If you cry and weep without any reason, just as an exercise, a meditation…nobody will believe it. Tears have never been accepted as meditation. And I tell you, they are not only a meditation, they are a medicine also. You will have better eyesight and you will have better inner vision.

“I am giving you a very fundamental technique, fresh and unused. And it is going to become worldwide, without any doubt, because its effects will show anybody that the person has become younger, the person has become more loving, the person has become graceful. The person has become more flexible, less fanatic; the person has become more joyful, more a celebrant.

“All that this world needs is a good cleansing of the heart of all the inhibitions of the past. Laughter and tears can do both. Tears will take out all the agony that is hidden inside you and laughter will take all that is preventing your ecstasy. Once you have learned the art you will be immensely surprised: why has this not been told up to now? There is a reason: nobody has wanted humanity to have the freshness of a rose flower and the fragrance and the beauty.

“I have called this series of lectures  The Mystic Rose.  “Yaa-Hoo!” is the mantra to bring the mystic rose in your very center, to open your center and release your fragrance. Your life becomes for the first time significant, not just useful. Right now it is only useful – you are a father, useful. Without you what will your children do? You are a mother, useful; you are a wife, useful – without you what will your husband do? He may go astray.

“He is already going astray, so you have to hang around! If the husband is too joyous the wife cannot believe that he is joyful because of her. There must be some other woman: “Just tell us, what is her name? Who is the other woman? Why are you laughing!?”

“The husband cannot cry, because the wife will say, “What is the matter? I have been telling you continually, these love affairs won’t do. Has the woman gone, leaving you behind crying and weeping?”

“Two old people appeared in the court, husband and wife – the husband was ninety-five years old, the wife ninety years old, and they wanted a divorce. The magistrate could not believe it. He said, ‘My god, at this age! For what? How long have you been married?’ They said, ‘Who remembers? Maybe sixty years, seventy years, but we cannot give you a certain date. It was long before.’

“The magistrate said, ‘If you have lived together so long that you cannot even remember when you started living together, then why are you divorcing now? If life was not good, and things were not going well, you should have appeared before the court long ago!’ The old man said, ‘We wanted to come, but the children… Now all the children are dead, so we decided there is no point in torturing each other. Now we should get a divorce: you torture somebody else if you can find anybody; I will torture somebody else if I can find. Otherwise we can be alone far better than we are together. Together we become so sad that ‘This woman destroyed my life’ or, `This man destroyed my life.’ ‘

“People marry not because of love – love knows no marriage, because love will not create any contract. It is not business. Love knows no marriage because it is not business, it is not law. It won’t reduce the freedom of the other. If anything, it will increase and enhance the freedom of the other.

“Love cannot cut the wings of the other. It will give you more wings, more skies, vast spaces to fly and to be.  But that does not happen. Marriage is a utility. It is a need, it is not a celebration. Everything in life has become so mundane, so burdensome, but you don’t know what else to do, where to go. Everybody is suffering his own suffering. You cannot change places. Even if it were possible to change places you would not change, because our own misery is at least ours and we are well acquainted.

“At a party one man was asked by his wife, ‘I hear that the woman sitting over there is your mistress?’

The man did not want to create a fuss in the party, so he whispered; he said, ‘Yes, everybody has mistresses here, so don’t make any trouble.’

She said, ‘Then tell me who is whose mistress?’

So he told her: ‘This man has that mistress, and his wife is somebody else’s mistress. Things are so puzzled…’

“He told her about everybody. The same women, the same men, but all have mistresses, all have wives.

The woman looked at all of them and finally said, ‘But ours is the best.’

“Her husband’s mistress! It was an agony, but OURS…! ‘Others are being more idiotic – these horrible women… I know all of them.’

Even the agony, the pain becomes by and by an acquaintance, old and familiar. You cannot part with it, you will miss it.

“I have seen people missing their wives, just after two or three days when the wife has gone to her parents. For two or three days they are so joyful, but the fourth day they start missing the wife. And I have said to my friends, ‘You always wanted to get rid of your wife. It is good that she is prolonging her holiday – enjoy!’

“And what have I heard from my friends? ‘Yes, it is true, when she is here I feel like killing her. But when she goes somewhere else I feel so alone, that I go on writing letters and sending telegrams and every day a phone call – `Come back soon; without you, life is not life!’ ‘

“Strange people! And when she comes then they want to kill her. They don’t kill, just because they know it is very risky. If there were rewards for killing wives, I don’t think you would find anybody who would not participate in the competition. Afterwards they will cry and weep and they will remember the golden days, but right now it is a nightmare.

“The whole of life has become just a utility: either you are an inspector, or you are a police commissioner, or you are a minister, or you are a teacher – just a function which any robot can do.

“The only thing that the robot cannot do is meditation. In other words, I am saying that those who are not in meditation are being robots, without being aware that they are just utilities, functions, they are needed.

“But a man of meditation for the first time realizes that it does not matter whether he is needed or not – he himself is a joy unto himself. He himself is bliss, he does not depend on anybody to make him blissful. That is the only freedom possible in the world. Otherwise everybody is a slave.

“I would like people to understand it absolutely that unless you become blissful on your own accord, unless your rose opens within your own being, you are just a commodity, just a thing, an object. Meditation reveals your subjectivity. Subjectivity is your consciousness, and your consciousness and its experience makes your life significant, meaningful, eternal, immortal, without any beginning and without any end. A celebration, moment-to-moment a dance.

“And unless you have transformed your life into a moment-to-moment dance you have missed the opportunity that existence gives you.”

Osho, YAA-HOO! The Mystic Rose, Talk #1

A Meditative Therapy – Meeting of East and West

When Osho first created The Mystic Rose Meditation, he said “I have invented many meditations, but perhaps this will be the most essential and fundamental one. It can take over the whole world.” He went on to say that this will be an absolutely new and unique meditation that has never existed before in the history of mankind. He calls this work a Meditative Therapy, as it combines the two dimensions of Western therapy and Eastern meditation in one dynamic transformational process.

Generally therapy groups are run quite separately from meditation groups or retreats. This new revolutionary process combines therapy and meditation simultaneously. In the Eastern approach to personal transformation, the emphasis is on being in the present moment, the here/now, also known as a state of no-mind or meditation. Relaxing to such a degree that we are able to slip out of the constant flow of thoughts, emotions, feelings and reactions, etc., and therein develop the capacity to become aware of our inner world of pure consciousness. The emphasis is on a capacity to disidentify from the nonessential and remain with the essence of presence.

The Western approach offers many different types of therapies which enable us to understand and heal our neurosis, fears, anxieties and so on. Osho would often say that therapy is necessary as ground work, or clearing the garden so that the flowers of meditation grow.

Laughter clearly becomes therapy when experienced for sustained periods. It removes fear, inhibitions and loosens the energetic armouring that interpenetrates and surrounds the physical body. It enlivens, invigorates and brings out a level of vitality we seldom allow ourselves to feel. At the same time, people who are in deep abandoned laughter are thrown out of the mechanisms of mind and become totally present to this moment, to a state of No-Mind. Participants can experience an altered state of being, spontaneous, alive, overwhelmed with the delight and playfulness of laughter and joy. During these sustained periods of laughter, a healing therapy as well as a meditative state can be experienced simultaneously. This is a rare and unique process that is on one hand, utterly simple and yet profoundly transformative

Modern man is a very new phenomenon. No traditional method can be used exactly as it exists because modern man never existed before. So, in a way, all traditional methods have become irrelevant.

For example, the body has changed so much. It is so drugged that no traditional method can be helpful. The whole atmosphere is artificial now: the air, the water, society, living conditions. Nothing is natural. You are born in artificiality; you develop in it. So traditional methods will prove harmful today. They will have to be changed according to the modern situation.

Another thing: the quality of the mind has basically changed. In Patanjali’s [the most famous commentator on Yoga] days, the center of the human personality was not the brain; it was the heart. Before that, it was not even the heart. It was still lower, near the navel. The center has gone even further from the navel. Now, the center is the brain. That is why teachings like those of Krishnamurti have appeal. No method is needed, no technique is needed – only understanding. But if it is just a verbal understanding, just intellectual, nothing changes, nothing is transformed. It again becomes an accumulation of knowledge.

I use chaotic methods rather than systematic ones because a chaotic method is very helpful in pushing the center down from the brain. The center cannot be pushed down through any systematic method because systemization is brainwork. Through a systematic method, the brain will be strengthened; more energy will be added to it. Through chaotic methods the brain is nullified. It has nothing to do. The method is so chaotic that the center is automatically pushed from the brain to the heart. If you do my method of Dynamic Meditation vigorously, unsystematically, chaotically, your center moves to the heart. Then there is a catharsis. 

A catharsis is needed because your heart is so suppressed, due to your brain. Your brain has taken over so much of your being that it dominates you. There is no place for the heart, so the longings of the heart are suppressed. You have never laughed heartily, never lived heartily, never done anything heartily. The brain always comes in to systematize, to make things mathematical, and the heart is suppressed. So firstly, a chaotic method is needed to push the center of consciousness from the brain toward the heart.

Then catharsis is needed to unburden the heart, to throw off suppressions, to make the heart open. If the heart becomes light and unburdened, then the center of consciousness is pushed still lower; it comes to the navel. The navel is the source of vitality, the seed source from which everything else comes: the body and the mind and everything.

I use this chaotic method very considerately. Systematic methodology will not help now, because the brain will use it as its own instrument. Nor can just the chanting of bhajans help now, because the heart is so burdened that it cannot flower into real chanting. Consciousness must be pushed down to the source, to the roots. Only then is there the possibility of transformation. So I use chaotic methods to push the consciousness downward from the brain.

Whenever you are in chaos, the brain stops working. For example, if you are driving a car and suddenly someone runs in front of you, you react so suddenly that it cannot be the work of the brain. The brain takes time. It thinks about what to do and what not to do. So whenever there is a possibility of an accident and you push the brake, you feel a sensation near your navel, as if it were your stomach that is reacting. Your consciousness is pushed down to the navel because of the accident. If the accident could be calculated beforehand, the brain would be able to deal with it; but when you are in an accident, something unknown happens. Then you notice that your consciousness has moved to the navel.

Traditional methods have an appeal because they are so ancient and so many people have achieved through them in the past. They may have become irrelevant to us, but they were not irrelevant to Buddha, Mahavira, Patanjali or Krishna. They were meaningful, helpful. The old methods may be meaningless now, but because Buddha achieved through them they have an appeal. The traditionalist feels: “If Buddha achieved through these methods, why can’t I?”

But we are in an altogether different situation now. The whole atmosphere, the whole thought-sphere, has changed. Every method is organic to a particular situation, to a particular mind, to a particular man. The fact that the old methods don’t work doesn’t mean that no method is useful. It only means that the methods themselves must change. As I see the situation, modern man has changed so much that he needs new methods, new techniques.
