A
journalist came to visit Gurdjieff. He came for an interview. Gurdjieff
was drinking tea. He sat the journalist down next to him. Then
Gurdjieff said to a disciple sitting nearby, what day is it today?
The disciple said, today is Sunday.
Gurdjieff banged his fist hard on the table and said, how can it be Sunday? Yesterday was Saturday.
When the journalist heard this he was shocked out of his wits – what kind of man is this? He got so angry he banged the table with his fist saying how can it be Sunday? Who are you trying to befool? Who do you think you are? Yesterday was only Saturday, and today is Sunday?
The journalist stood up. He said, good-by, I’ll be going now.
When he left he looked quite ridiculous. Gurdjieff laughed. The disciples too were very happy. They said, you were outrageous! He said, what’s the use wasting time with this idiot?
Until a true seeker comes, be a complete idiot, as if you can’t speak, a deaf-mute. Mad, be a madman, so that people don’t start to ask you on their own – why ask that madman?
Just be insane if you see that some muddled, stinking, superfluous person etc... just be insane. He will go on his own and will never come back again. -- Story-by-OSHO
