BULLA'S TALK- INDIVIDUAL-INDIVISIBLE

“But why do you speak only to me?”, the individual asked as Bulla had not spoken for a long time, and he wanted him to speak. “Because you’re an individual”, replied Bulla, and just when he was about to relapse deep into the ocean of silence, the individual put to him another question. “And what do you mean when you say that?”, the individual asked in a desperate attempt to keep him on surface. “What do I mean?”, Don’t you see your tremendous capacity to sin? You’re free, and hence also free to see it’s futility. “And the virtuous ones, why don’t you speak to them?”,asked the individual, determined to keep him talking. “Where will they go when they grow bored with their virtues? Sooner or later, most of them will come to where you stand, but that day has not yet come, and hence, they can’t hear. The few others, who’ll not turn towards you, will never need to hear me either, as they’ll be courageous enough to destroy themselves when the insipidity of boredom becomes too much to bear in their paradise. To you I can speak because you don’t belong to any side and as such, you're "indivisible". In your freedom you’ve tasted virtues and devoured vices, in your freedom you’ve grown bored with them, and in your freedom you’ve begun to see, their futility! So where are you going to go? I am your DESTINY. THUS REPLIED BULLA AND DROWNED AGAIN IN SILENCE.

THE LAUGHING BULLA

And when Bulla broke out laughing at the sight of people bowing down in reverence to the BUDDHA, the individual couldn't help asking why he laughed. "They revere him as the nicest man present in their midst and behave as if they know him very well, but if they had the slightest inkling of what he refers to, they'd run away like wild horses and never want to come back", replied BULLA
