A man asked Buddha.... The man was an astrologer, a very learned scholar. When he saw Buddha he was puzzled. He had never seen such beauty, such grace. Buddha was sitting under a tree. The man was just in awe; he bowed down to Buddha and he said, Are you a deva, an angel? Have you descended from heaven, because I have never seen such grace on the earth? Who are you? Are you a gandharva? Gandharvas are, mythologically, the musicians of the gods. They are very graceful, obviously -- they are the musicians of the gods. Their very presence is musical. Just in their presence you will start hearing melodies; just being in their presence you will fall into a totally different rhythm. Their very presence is music, celestial music. And the astrologer heard that music around Buddha. He said, Are you a gandharva? And Buddha said, No, I am not a god, I am not a gandharva. Then who are you? Are you just a man? And Buddha said, No, I am not a man either. Then who are you? And the man went on asking, and Buddha went on saying, No, no, no. He became more and more puzzled and finally he asked, Then who are you? And Buddha said, I am awareness. Awareness, just awareness, pure awareness... and only then is one fulfilled. Then life is a benediction. O S H O THE SECRET BY SPY
