Sometimes I can’t decide if this
is fragile or enduring.
Tonight, at the Rajneesh beer garden
I saw a senior sanyasin
escorting a couple of reporters
and she looked so worried…

I wonder if Bhagwan is the glue or his ideas
and as I write this, I know
its him; the living master
with him the forms could change
but not the essence
without him no form will be more
than a casting of how it was last
and each change or embellishment
will dilute those last echos
until finally the living word
will have been erased
and we will have only another name
to add to the list…
Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed….

Sex is on the main line here
to higher consciousness
but that doesn’t mean
you sleep with everyone
or anyone

just anyone you want to
who feels the same

That’s a far cry
from the outside world
where sexual communications
are such baroque overlays
of urge and training
and suppression and guilt.

1983-07-06 Morning Thunder

Wednesday, July 6th, 1983
                     Morning Thunder
         The dawn thunders over the Buddha hall
         as the army of orange gathers once more
         for Satsang with the Master
         and we, who are we, my heart probes
         ditch diggers and doctors
         dark gypsies and fine spun high born
         faces born of any crowd
         save the filter of their hearts
         which has passed them thru
         to where the dawn comes like a lover
         over the Oregon desert
         and the gift of enlightenment
         is a real promise.
