This issue features
another guru and his dog: Sunyata and Wuji. Sunyata
was "a natural born mystic" who played a
significant but little known role in the nonduality movement over
the last hundred years. Read about him here:
http://www.meditation.dk/sunyata.htm
From the website:
... his most favored
companions are two dogs. The first is Lady Yami, and when she
dies Sri Chow Chu Wuji. A plucky little black-and white dog
brought from Tibet in a sack with a tiger cub, Wuji quickly
learned to sit on his hind legs to give namaste (blessing) to the
local grocers (in exchange for a morsel of meat)
Once Sunya is Invited to
sit in the silent room " with the Great Mother of
India, Ananda Mayee. Wuii goes right along inside too. Ma's
disciples rage at the doggish imprudence but Ma waves them off.
She gives Sri Wuji careful spiritual scrutiny. Finally, she
announces: "Wuji is not a dog." But as Sunya recounts
it "She never did say what he was."
The Mystery of
Sri Wuji
Sunyata with the cosmic
dog, Sri Cho Chu Wuji, who had been brought from
in a sack along with a tiger cub.
Question: Why did you change his name from Wuti to Wuji?
Sunyata: He needed less
bark and more bite! Adding Ji to name is what is done in
Q: So his name could be
translated as "The Honorable Yes&No".
S: Yes!..... And no.
(Audience laughs) You see, if God did not exist then
that whole business would have to be invented.
Same with Wuji.
Q: Is Wuji here tonight?
S: Certainly. But
you are not aware of it unless you become spiritually
Aware, see him clairvoyantly, with the
intuitive eye. He is here.
A later interview -
1983
Q: Who is Wuji?
S: For 10 years, Sri Wuji
was a Himalayan dog and seems to be a
spirit- wu-al or spirited no-thing-ness in the
invisible Real -
our alter ego, a Sat Presence, a playmate.
Q: What is Wuji really
like?
S: Wuji is like no thing
on earth or heaven. One of his name tags is
Sri No-thing-ness.
Q: Why is there a Wuji?
S: If God did not exist,
He would have to be invented. Likewise, Sri Wuji.
Q: Where does Wuji live?
S: Here and now in space
time rhythm.
Q: When is Wuji going to
happen next?
S: Sri Wuji may not
happen as phenomenon in Swa Lila. He apperceives
Eternity.
Q: How is Wuji doing?
S: Sri-No-thing-ness is
not a doer. He is an august Presence, simply and
purely awake to, intuit and apperceive.
Q: Is Wuji a kind of
connection, a process, an event?
S: Yes.
Q: Is Wuji a
consciousness?
S: Yes - a playful,
impish, sex-free and god-free consciousness. Or
conscious awareness.
Q: Is Wuji an Angel or
God
S: Yes. Both. And
neither. Wu!
Q: Does everybody have a
Wuji?
S: Sri Wuji,
Sri-No-thing-ness is not possessive, nor a possession; neither
a have nor have not. He innerstands at joyous
ease and awarely. He
intuits and appreciates, apperceives and is
Real-ly sex:free, body:free,
birth:free, and death:free. Wuji is ego:free
in non-dual One-ness.
Or wu-ness. Wu!
Q: Is the meaning beyond
meaning?
S: Yes.
Q: Is Wuji a big joke?
S: Himalayan joke. For
there is no Wuji.
Q: Is Wuji something to
sell? Can it be purchased? In what marketplace?
S: No and Wu!
Q: Is Wuji uncatchable,
always just a step ahead or in back?
S: Yes. He innerstands
and also outerstands. He is the beyond that is also
within. He is a mirrorization.
Q: Please tell me how to
catch the uncatchable, eff the ineffable, speak the
unspeakable, be the unthinkable. Please tell
me why I am Wuji. I forgot.
S: You are THAT, Truth in
Sat(ire) already. Wake up in pure awareness.
Intuit. Apperceive. And BE in Self hood, Wu
hood. Grace aware,
awarely, and there will be no queststions, no
quest and no questioner.
Apperceive "to the pure all is
pure".
The
Self and its shadow are in unity, a unicity. Ego shadow is
Sun-Self.
Wholify. Apperceive. And rejoice in Divine
gratitude, Says Wuji, our
wordy and worthy playfellow, our impish
guardian, wise Demon who
is one single wordish sound radiating.
