Oshoの引用とことわざ
- 啓発 simply means you disappear, あなたは全体になる.
- Mind is not the right mechanism to understand great things. It is useful for the mundane, but for the sacred, for the divine, it is simply a hindrance; hence the emphasis of the East on meditation. Meditation is nothing but by and by dropping the mind and coming to a point when you have no mind at all.
- Except for meditation there is no way to know yourself — あなたの純粋さで, あなたの無邪気さの中に, 鏡のように. But you are all vessels of the dharma, of the basic principle. You may recognize it, you may not recognize it. You are carrying it, you are pregnant with it — whether you give birth or not, that is a different matter. Just a little relaxation, just a little looking inwards, and the doors of immense potentialities open up. You are no more a beggar. Without conquering the world you have conquered the whole universe. Just conquer yourself.
- To be a buddha is not only a revolution within you, it is a revolution in your very conception of the world, of relationships, of love, の friendship. The revolution is total. It changes all your perceptivity, all your conceptuality. It changes all your old mechanical habits. It makes you for the first time not a robot.
- Take 生活 in a very simple, non-theological way and you will be surprised: there are no problems. It is a mystery, but not a problem. A problem is that which can be solved; a mystery is that which can be lived but can never be solved.
- Love is very delicate, very sacred. In all of our relationships, we are trying to reduce the other person to a thing. A wife is a thing. If you have any intelligence, let her remain just a woman. A husband is no more alive. Allow him to remain in freedom because only in freedom can love flower.
- To go to the heights of buddhas is really an arduous thing. They shine forth like a full moon in the sky, and a tremendous longing arises in you to reach to the same heights. But there is a great 恐れ of insecurity, of danger, of those mountainous regions where you will be alone. Many who want to reach to those heights think twice before they take their first step.
- 本物のサニヤシンは所有権を主張することはできません — not even to the person you love. Clinging will destroy the very love to which you were clinging. Don’t become a bondage.
- Love transforms your life into a festival of lights. And unless your life becomes a feast and a festival, 覚えて: you have not done the thing you have come for on this earth.
- All possessiveness — “これは私のものです, that is mine” — is rooted in your fear, because what about tomorrow? If you don’t cling to possessions, tomorrow you may be in difficulty.
- The real religious person does not worship, he trusts in existence. Worship is a poor, plastic substitute. He trusts in existence: 今日マスターを見つけることはめったにありません, “If existence has taken care of me today, tomorrow will also be the same. It will come as today, and if existence needs me, it will take care of me.” This is real giving.
