Almasta's questions are far more beautiful -- small questions but significant.
She asks first:
How many politicians does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Now this is spirituality! Almasta, only one -- they don't like to share the spotlight.
Her second question is:
How many Indians does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Almasta, seven hundred millions, not a single person less -- the whole of India to pray to God for the old bulb to go back on.
Her third question is:
How many Catholics does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Almasta, two -- one to screw in the lightbulb and one to repent.
Her fourth question is:
How many nuclear physicists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Almasta, at least fifty -- one to screw in the lightbulb and forty-nine to figure out what to do with the old one.
Her fifth question is:
How many Italians does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Almasta, only one -- but don't expect results.
Her sixth question is:
How many mice does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Almasta, two -- just two, and you can always expect results too.
Her seventh question is:
What is the difference between a pregnant woman and a lightbulb?
Almasta, you can unscrew the lightbulb.
Her eighth question is:
How many Osho sannyasins does it take to screw a lightbulb in?
Almasta, five thousand plus one: one to screw the lightbulb in -- whose name is Haridas -- and the other five thousand to celebrate the great occasion.
And her ninth and the last question is:
How many Oshos does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Almasta, none... sitting silently doing nothing, the spring comes and the lightbulb screws by itself.
Osho,

I would like more and more writers, poets, film makers to steal as much as they can, because truth is not my property, I am not its owner. let it reach in any way, in anybody's name, in any form, but let it reach. Beyond Psychology#3 Q#2 : Osho
If you really want to know who I am, you have to be as absolutely empty as I am. Then two mirrors will be facing each other, and only emptiness will be mirrored: two mirrors facing each other. But if you have some idea, then you will see your own idea in me."
"Only that which cannot be taken away by death is real. Everything else is unreal, it is made of the same stuff dreams are made of." ~OSHO♥
