The first stage: Over many different talks Osho makes many comments about gibberish, which are compiled here: "Gibberish is one of the most scientific ways to clean your mind and break the habit of continual inner verbalization.... "Say everything that you ever wanted to say but have not been able to say because of civilization, education, culture, society...and say it in any language you don't know! If you don't know Chinese, say it in Chinese! "Shouting, laughing, crying, making noise...making gestures.... Simply allow whatever conies to your mind without bothering about its rationality, reasonability, meaning, significance -just the way the birds are doing. Do it totally, with great enthusiasm.... Be authentic, honest.... Don't act or do it automatically like a robot. Be sincere... make it a reality....Just go crazy... Don't be partial, don't be middle-class. Just be a first-rate crazy man!" "...saying anything that is moving in your mind, all kinds of rubbish - throw it out using any language you don't know. And as you throw out your craziness you will feel light, more alive, just in two minutes The more total you are, the deeper will be the silence afterwards.... Just remember one thing: throw out your gibberish and keep your hands up so nobody else's gibberish falls on you."

Second Stage:
After some minutes, Gibberish stops with a drumbeat. Osho's voice then guides the listener into the let-go. "You have to remain frozen.... These two minutes will be a gathering of the energy. These two minutes you will be almost dead. And after these two minutes, when I say, 'Let go' then you can relax and then there is no limitation for you."
Osho Third Stage: Let-Go
Another drumbeat and, without arranging yourself, just allow yourself to fall down "like a bag of rice," so you are lying, utter¬ly still and relaxed, on your back as you are guided even more deeply into a silent stillness. "And when I say - and Nivedano beats the drum - to relax and let go, just fall like a falling tree; don't try to make yourself comfortable. That is the point where you miss. I see people making themselves comfortable. From the very beginning they look all around - where will they have to relax? Which side to fall? You just fall as if you are falling dead. And there is no harm if you don't return. We will miss you, but you will give us another occasion for celebration!"
Osho Fourth Stage: Coming Back
At the final drumbeat, Osho's voice guides us back to a sitting position, with the reminder to carry this same experience of witnessing into all our everyday activities. "Every night, these few moments are the most valuable in your life. Every evening, when so many living buddhas gather here, this place becomes the most important in the whole world. Because nowhere are so many people meditating together - digging so deep that they can find the very life source, the eternity, the deathlessness."
