73. A Gift beyond Words
There is a very beautiful story in Buddha's life.
One day Buddha arrives for satsang with a very beautiful lotus in his hand. He is just sitting and gazing at the lotus, and ten thousand Buddhas, his ten thousand sannyasis, are sitting in front of him. All of them are wondering what Buddha is doing! Usually, the moment he comes he starts his sermon, he starts talking. Why is he not talking? He is just sitting with this lotus, gazing at it, playing with it. Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine minds are restless, expecting Buddha's words. just because they are used to continuous monotonous rhythm of the sermon. But Buddha is engrossed in the lotus.
But there is one mind, one person, who is completely in restful awareness, ready to receive. That person is Mahakashyapa.
Buddha just lifts his face and sees Mahakyashyapa in the eternal, deep laughter. And Buddha calls Mahakyashyapa and gives him that flower. And he says, 'Whatever can be said, I gave to all of you, to the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine of you. Whatever cannot be said, I am giving it to Mahakyashyapa.'
That flower is turiya vana sampanna pushpam - the flower of the highest state of consciousness. This is the best gill you can receive from the master. Listen: make this turiya vana sampanna pushpam into your bio-memory by constantly involving yourself in seva, enriching others. Bend your body, bend your mind in seva. Seva is not a moral duty. No! By constantly doing seva, you will see that the ideas and truths you receive from the highest state of consciousness becomes your bio-memory, becomes the garland of the deathless flower paarijaata, and you radiate the element fragrance of enlightenment.
