Osho – Lão Tử là để đầu hàng. Anh ta nói: Đầu hàng cuộc sống. Cho phép cuộc sống dẫn dắt bạn, đừng cố gắng sống. Đừng cố thao túng và kiểm soát cuộc sống, hãy để cuộc sống thao túng và kiểm soát bạn. Hãy để cuộc sống chiếm hữu bạn. You simply surrender! Bạn chỉ cần nói: I am not. You give total power to life, and be with it. Khó, because the ego says: Then what am I? Surrendered, I am no more.
But when the ego is not, in fact for the first time you are. For the first time you are not the finite, you are the infinite. For the first time you are not the body, the embodied, you are the unembodied, the vast, which goes on expanding; beginningless, endless.
But the ego does not know about it. Bản ngã sợ hãi. Nó nói rằng: Bạn đang làm gì đấy, losing yourself? Then you will be lost, you will be a nobody. If you listen to the ego, the ego will put you again and again on a neurotic path, the path of Being Somebody. And the more you become somebody the more life has disappeared from you.
Look at people who have succeeded in the world, who have become somebody, whose names are found in Who’s Who? Look at them, watch them, you will find that they are living a fake life! They are only masks, nothing inside, hollow men, stuffed maybe, but not alive. Empty.
Watch people who have become successful in the world, and have become somebodies: presidents, prime ministers, rich people, the very rich, who have attained all that can be attained in the world. Xem họ, touch them, look at them; you will feel death. You will not find throbbing hearts there.
Maybe the heart is still beating but the beat is mechanical. The beat has lost the poetry. They look at you, but their eyes are dull. The lustre of being alive is not there. They will shake hands with you but in their hands you will not feel anything flowing, you will not feel any exchange of energy, you will not see warmth welcoming you. A dead hand. Weight you will find there, love you will not find. Look around them: they live in hell. They have succeeded, they have become somebodies, and now only hell surrounds them. You are on the same way if you are trying to be somebody.
Lão Tử nói: không là ai cả, and then you will have infinite life flowing in you. For the flow of life, to be a somebody becomes a block; to be a nobody – vast emptiness; it allows all. Clouds can move, stars can move in it. And nothing disturbs it. And you have nothing to lose, because all that can be lost you have surrendered already. In such a state of being one is ever young. The body of course will become old, but the innermost core of your being remains young, tươi. It never becomes old, it is never dead.
And Lao Tzu says: Đây là cách để thực sự tôn giáo. Nổi với Tao, di chuyển với Tao, không tạo bất kỳ mục tiêu riêng tư nào và kết thúc, toàn bộ biết rõ hơn, bạn chỉ đơn giản là với nó. Toàn bộ đã tạo ra bạn, toàn bộ hơi thở trong bạn, toàn bộ cuộc sống trong bạn, tại sao bạn lại làm phiền? Hãy để toàn bộ trách nhiệm. Bạn chỉ cần đi bất cứ nơi nào nó dẫn đến.
You don’t try to force and plan, and you don’t ask for any certain goals because then there will be frustration, and you will become hard, and you will miss an opportunity of being alive. And this is the point – that if you allow life, more life happens, then if you allow yourself to be alive still more life happens.
Jesus goes on saying: Come to me, and I will show you the way of infinite life. Life abundant. Life overflowing, flooding. But we live like beggars, we could have been like emperors. Nobody else is responsible. Your cleverness to be yourself, to be clinging to the ego, is the whole cause of your misery.
