~Ten Thousand Tales~
Meetings with the Master

 Sarlo

   When i returned from the west to stay "forever" in Pune, i came in to see Osho for "arrival darshan," where the following fencing match occurred:
    I had understood that it was important to remember which of Osho's therapy and other groups i had participated in, and also important not to have preferences, so i was ready for his questions.  He asked if i would like to do groups or work, and i said, "Whatever you say," although really i just wanted to work. To his enquiry about which  groups i had done, i rattled off my long list of about 12. I had not finished my recitation before everyone in darshan started laughing, but i managed to get through them all.
    But he got me, saying that since i could remember so well, i must need to do a few more groups. I did enjoy them, though i took a few days to warm up to Vipassana, then finally i did indeed get to work, becoming a guard for almost two years.
