"Did I step on your feet as I went out?" the Mulla asked a man at the end of the row. "You certainly did," said the man awaiting an apology. Mulla Nasruddin turned to his wife, "it's all right, darling," he said. "This is our Row." ============ Mulla Nasrudin who was reeling drunk was getting into his automobile when a policeman came up and asked "You're not going to drive that car, are you?" "CERTAINLY I AM GOING TO DRIVE," said Nasrudin. "ANYBODY CAN SEE I AM IN NO CONDITION TO WALK." ============= "What was the argument between you and your father-in-law, Nasrudin?" asked a friend. "I didn’t mind, when he wore my hat, coat, shoes and suit, BUT WHEN HE SAT DOWN AT THE DINNER TABLE AND LAUGHED AT ME WITH MY OWN TEETH – THAT WAS TOO MUCH," said Mulla Nasrudin. ============== "Officer you'd better lock me up," he said. "I just hit my wife on the head with a beer bottle." "Did you kill her:" asked the officer. "Don’t think so," said Nasruddin. "that's why i want you to lock me up." ============= Mulla Nasrudin trying to pull his car out of a parking space banged into the car ahead. Then he backed into the car behind. Finally, after pulling into the street, he hit a beer truck. When the police arrived, the patrolman said, "Let's see your licence, Sir." "Don't be silly," said Nasrudin. "who do you think would give me a licence?" ============ During a religious meeting an attractive young widow leaned too far over the balcony and fell, but her dress caught on a chandelier and held her impended in mid-air. The preacher, of course, immediately noticed the woman's predicament and called out to his congregation: "The first person who looks up there is in danger of being punished with blindness." Mulla Nasrudin, who was in the congregation whispered to the man next to him, "I Think I will Risk one Eye". :) =============== <a href="http://www.messagefrommasters.com/Jokes/osho_jokes_on_mulla_nasrudin_part1.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.messagefrommasters.com/Jokes/osho_jokes_on_mulla_nasrudin_part1.htm</a> <a href="http://www.otoons.com/joke&game/mulla_nasrudin.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.otoons.com/joke&game/mulla_nasrudin.htm</a> admin on "Believers Vs Non Believers" http://proaudience.com/community/topic/believers-vs-non-believers#post-19 Wed, 09 Sep 2009 18:04:08 +0000 admin 19@http://proaudience.com/community/ I quote the following Orkut message that I wrote on an RSS (Rashtriy Svayamsevak Sangh) community to kich start a Belivers Vs Non-Believers debate in this forum. The Orkut message was posted in response to a thread that asked if the non-believers of God were allowed in the RSS or not. ============ Never thought about this aspect before. It has been a long time since I last went to any temple, or bowed down to any idol. Never felt the neccecity of doing so after having been through an intense phase of meditaiton a few years ago. Osho's discourses were the triggger at that time. But, that made me more believing than ever before. I became more Hinduism oriented than ever before. I started admiring Meera, Budhdha, Krishna and the whole idea of being part of this land and its cultura in a way, that I could have never though about. I do not go to temeples anymore, but my spiritual journey continues. I never feel odd about living in a mass that regularly visits temples. I bow down to their show of faith towards god instead. For me this is more striking, the colorful festivals, the excitement of being part of that particular aspect of Hinduism...I see Krishna, Rama and Mahadeva in them. When needed I go through the rituals for their sake, and do so more deeply than the priest chanting mantras next to me. And there is something very spiritual and Hindu about this personal experinece. In fact, it was this Hindu flexibility, that made me start calling myself a Gujarati, eventhough I'm a born UP-iet, who has lived in Gujarat for over three and half decdes. Accepted many other UTTAR PRADESHIs won't go through this transformation, but I did and duly give credit for that to the socio-spiritaul ethos of this encinet land. Then again, would atheist not have anything to believe in? I think, aetheism itself is a strong belief of its own nature. As famously suggested by Osho Rajneesh in one of his public discourses, the communists too had a trinity of their own, the trinity of Marx, Lenin and Mao-tes tung. Whether you "believed" in GOD or NO GOD, "the belief" would always be there to provide you guidence. Whether you like or not, you would always be a believer. But, the problem arises when people start building boundaries around beliefs and enforcing that onto others - the crux of all religious, social, political and cultural discords on earth. "The notion of being" has more significance in this case. How could anybody, even aetheists, deny that. And the moment you realize about this sense, the force driving you, your life changes. If you began meditating around this awareness, there is a possibility you would end up being a stronger, more indepth believer than all sundry around you. In that context, perhaps the so-called non-beleiver has a potential of growing into a stronger EESHWAR BHAKT, at least at a later date, than all his believing critics. The remarkable point about Hinduism is the level of tolerace shown by it towards other ethos. You can be part of Hinduism notwithstanding whether you believed in MOORTI-POOJAA or NIRAAKAR ROOP. Jainism, Sikhism and Buddhism were bron due to this inherent tolerance. MK Gandhi's SATYA KE PRAYOG and non-violent freedom struggle could never have taken place in a place like Afghanistan, Osho Rajnessh would have been stonned to death among Talibanis. Think of Kabeer, Meera and to more recent Raja Ram Mohan Roy, and you would know, Hinduism had awlays had this tendency of accepting newer ideas, rebelions from within, and was amazingly open to reforms. RSS is no different in that context, one thinks. If you could share a common view about this land and its people, that should be suffice. However, not being a Svayamsevak myself, I'd let others decide about this....couldn't stop from ranting though, due to the scope of a debate about believers vs non-believers.
