At the end of each of talk Osho guides us through a scientifically designed meditative technique so we too can experience the emptiness that lies at the heart of each Zen story.
This short meditation has the following steps:
A. Gibberish
B. Freeze, no movement, go in
C. Let-go
D. Come back to life
Gibberish is to get rid of the active mind, silence to get rid of the inactive mind, and the let-go to enter into the transcendental.
Each step starts with a drumbeat.
A. Gibberish
This first step starts with a drumbeat. You remain sitting and for a few minutes you go completely mad, saying anything that is moving in your mind, all kinds of rubbish – throw it out, speaking in any language you don’t know! Be total. It is one of the most scientific ways to clean your mind. Here are some of the points Osho makes about gibberish:
With the first drumbeat, start throwing out as much rubbish as possible, with gibberish and gestures. It is a cleansing, a preparation for silence.
Don’t say things which are meaningful, don’t use the language that you know. Use Chinese, if you don’t know Chinese. Use Japanese, if you don’t know Japanese. Don’t use German if you know German. For the first time have a freedom the same as all the birds have. Simply allow whatever comes to your mind without bothering about its rationality, reasonability, meaning, significance – just the way the birds are doing.
Say everything that you ever wanted to say and have not been able to say because of civilization, education, culture, society.
B. Freeze, no movement, go in
The two minutes of gibberish have cleaned the way for entering into silence as deeply as you have never done before. Now close your eyes and freeze your body, all its movements – gathering your energy within and remaining here and now. “Once you are out of the mind, you are in. To be in the mind is to be out of yourself. To be out of the mind is to be in your own being.”
During this part of the meditation, using words and silent gaps, Osho encourages you to move inward…
C. Let-go
With the next drumbeat you let go, allowing your body to fall like a bag of rice or like a falling tree, to “die” – lying utterly still and relaxed.
Using words and silent gaps, Osho’s voice encourages you to continue moving inward…
D. Come back to life
You are invited to come back to a sitting position, with the reminder to carry this same experience of witnessing into all your activities, twenty-four hours a day…
CELEBRATION
The meditation concludes with dancing in celebration, eyes open or closed.
The dancing includes “stops”: sharp shouts of the sound “OSHO” while your arms reach straight “up to the stars, indicating the longing for higher consciousness.”
Osho calls the sound of “OSHO” “a good sound,” saying “It creates a good silence. It is not my name. It is only a healing sound.” And about making the shout: “It goes just like a sword. It all depends with how much intensity, urgency, totality, you do it. It is simply using sound to reach the soundless silence.”
"It is not without a reason that I want you to end your meditation every day with celebration, with rejoicing. Slowly, slowly, as meditation becomes deeper, your celebration will have more splendor; it will be more majestic, more miraculous, more magical." Osho
