Vedant
Osho has often talked about Zen masters and
how consciously they leave the body. And He Himself left His body that way.
Osho’s leaving the body was the most blissful experience of my life.
I was blessed to be one of those who carried Him on my
shoulders. As you know there were six of us. And slowly slowly we went. By 10:15
pm we reached there. Osho’s brother lit the fire and the cremation happened.
We were there until the early hours of the morning.
Osho always said that it’s a tremendous experience to be
present when a master leaves the body. I am a witness to that. It was as if we
were automatically in a state of no-mind. There was no thought at all. Things
were happening; we were taking care of the details; everything was happening as
it should. But there was no thought of any kind. It was an incredible experience
of thoughtlessness made possible by the energy that must have been generated as
He left.
I felt, and others have shared with me, that we were in a
space that was very silent. There was no commotion; there was no scattering;
there was a very silent pool of energy.
