奥修关于欲望的名言
- Ordinarily all desires exist in the second state of consciousness, 做梦的状态. 欲望是梦想,为梦想而努力从一开始就注定了, because a dream can never become real. Even if sometimes you feel it has become almost real, it never becomes real — a dream by nature is empty. It has no substance in it.
- Only when all your desires disappear does that energy become compassion, KARUNA. You cannot cultivate compassion. When you are desireless, compassion happens; your whole energy moves into compassion. And this movement is very different. Desire has a motivation in it, a goal; compassion is nonmotivated, there is no goal to it, it is simply overflowing energy.
- The body is there because the mind seeks desires through the body; desires cannot be fulfilled without the body. You can be completely fulfilled without the body, but desires cannot be fulfilled without the body. Desire needs the body; the body is the vehicle of desire. That’s why possession happens. You have heard, you must have heard, many stories about a ghost possessing somebody else. Why is a ghost so interested in possessing somebody else? It is because of desires. Desires cannot be fulfilled without a body, so he enters somebody’s body to fulfill his desires.
- The same is the case when you enter a womb, enter into a fresh body, and start the journey of desires. But if you die alert, in that alertness not only the body dies, all desires evaporate. Then there is no entering into a womb. Then entering a womb is such a painful process, it is so painful that consciously you cannot do it; only unconsciously you can do it.
- The ego can exist only with goals, ambitions, 欲望.
- The people who stop desiring worldly things start desiring heaven and heavenly pleasures. But what are they? — magnified forms of the same old desires, in fact more dangerous than the worldly desires, because with the worldly desires one thing is absolutely certain: you are bound to get frustrated sooner or later. You will get out of them; you Cannot remain in them forever. The very nature of them is such that they promise you, but they never fulfill their promises — the goods are never delivered. How long can you remain deceived by them? Even the most stupid person has glimpses, once in a while, that he is chasing illusions which cannot be fulfilled by the very nature of existence. The intelligent one comes to the realization sooner.
- But with the other-worldly desires there is far greater danger because they are other-worldly, and to see them and to experience them you will have to wait till death. They will happen only after death so you cannot be free of them in life, while you are alive. And a man who has lived unconsciously his whole life, his death is going to be the culmination of unconsciousness; he will die in unconsciousness. In death also he will not be able to disillusion himself. And the person who dies in unconsciousness is born again in unconsciousness. It is a vicious circle; it goes on and on. And the person who is born in unconsciousness will repeat the same stupidities that he has been repeating for millions of lives.
- Unless you become alert and aware IN life, 除非你改变你的生活质量, 你不会有意识地死去. 只有有意识的死亡才能让你有意识地出生; 然后一个更有意识的生活打开了大门. Changing worldly desires into other-worldly desires is the last strategy of the mind to keep you captive, to keep you a prisoner, to keep you in bondage.
- When your desires drop, the world is there, but it is a totally new world. It is so fresh, it is so colorful, it is so beautiful! But a mind attached to things cannot see it because eyes are closed with attachment.
- It is good that life never fulfils your dreams — it always goes on disposing, in a way. It gives you a thousand and one opportunities to be frustrated so that you can understand that expectations are not good and dreams are futile and desires are never fulfilled. Then you drop desiring, you drop dreaming, you drop proposing. Suddenly you are back home and the treasure is there.
- ’ 但如果你开始下降, 想法, 欲望. ’ 但如果你开始下降. Watch inside — why can’t you be herenow? ’ 但如果你开始下降? ’ 但如果你开始下降? ’ 但如果你开始下降? 今天不开心,明天怎么开心?. — because tomorrow is going to be born out of the moment. 今天不开心,明天怎么开心. 今天不开心,明天怎么开心. 今天不开心,明天怎么开心, 今天不开心,明天怎么开心. 今天不开心,明天怎么开心, 今天不开心,明天怎么开心, 今天不开心,明天怎么开心. 今天不开心,明天怎么开心, 今天不开心,明天怎么开心? 今天不开心,明天怎么开心. 今天不开心,明天怎么开心? — then you are continuously missing all that is here, 今天不开心,明天怎么开心. 今天不开心,明天怎么开心, 今天不开心,明天怎么开心, 今天不开心,明天怎么开心, 今天不开心,明天怎么开心.
- We have investments in our dreams. They don’t exist without our help; we make them exist. Sweet dreams, golden dreams; we have a romance with them, a very long romance of many lives. We go on courting dreams, and of course when we court them they are there, and they bring nothing but frustration. Because they are against reality, they can never bring fulfillment. There is no way to make two plus two equal five; there is no way. Whatsoever you do, two plus two will always be four, and you go on hoping that someday it is going to be five. Then you are simply in a mathematical error. Dreams can never be real; your thoughts can never be real; your hopes can never be realized; your desires can never be fulfilled. The only outcome can be more and more frustration.
- When this awareness grows, dreaming stops, 渐渐地. When this awareness grows, the wheel moves slower and slower, because there is no point. You never move, so what is the point of travelling the whole earth? You remain the same; then desires slow down. 有一天会发生: the wheel is as silent, as unmoving as the hub. That is the point when enlightenment happens.
- The future is needed as a space to project your desires. To project, future is needed.
- A small child has no ambitions, he has no desires. He is so absorbed in the moment — a bird on the wing catches his eye so totally; just a butterfly, its beautiful colors, and he is enchanted; the rainbow in the sky… and he cannot conceive that there can be anything more significant, richer than this rainbow. And the night full of stars, stars beyond stars…. Innocence is rich, it is full, it is pure.
- Existence does not listen to your desires, and does not follow your desires, however beautiful and however pious. Existence goes on in its own way.
- Mind is nothing but dreams and dreams — dreams of the past, dreams of the future, dreams of how things should be, dreams of great ambitions, achievements. Dreams and desires, that is the stuff mind is made of. But it surrounds you like a China Wall. And because of it the fish remains unaware of the ocean.
- When you don’t cling to anything, there is nowhere to go — all boats have been abandoned, you cannot go anywhere; all paths have been dropped, you cannot go anywhere; all dreams and desires have disappeared, there is no way to move. Relaxation happens of its own accord. Just think of the word relax. Be, settle, 黑暗/光明.
- 头脑是许多欲望的集合; 这不是一个单一的愿望. 心灵是多灵的, 所有的碎片都朝着不同的方向分崩离析. 我们如何继续保持团结真是一个奇迹; 保持团结是一场艰苦的斗争. 我们以某种方式管理, 但这种团结只停留在表面上. 内心深处有动荡.
- When you have emptied all content — 想法, 欲望, memories, 预测, hopes — when all is gone, for the first time you find yourself, because you are nothing but that pure space, that virgin space within you. Unburdened by anything, that contentless consciousness, that’s what you are! Seeing it, realizing it, one is free. One is freedom, one is joy, one is bliss.
- People, when they are frustrated with worldly desires, start changing the object: they start making otherworldly objects of desire — heaven, paradise, and all the joys of heaven. But it is the same trick, the mind is again befooling you. This is not the way of the intelligent person, this is the way of the stupid.
- Those otherworldly desires were just as foolish as the worldly desires.
- 当没有什么欲望, 也没有什么可梦想的, 因为梦是你欲望的反映. 梦是你挫折的反映, 梦是你压抑的反映, 梦反映了你的日常生活.
I sought to meet you……& the pursuit to meet you is dropped. For what is the need now for the bodies to meet in the earthly dimension of time & space when our spirits had once met in the pre-eternity. And i have been taught by my Master that “the meeting of any of you with anyone here is only due to your meeting with him in the pre-eternity.”
所以, i suffice myself with that meeting of ours and is content with it – an absolute contentment. 因此, the dropping of this pursuit to meet you,
Before parting, i will share an anecdote with you.
Once an aspirant came to meet Uways Al Qarni after traversing a long distance. Upon his arrival, Uways al-Qarni asked him:
“If you seek Allah, then why do you seek me?
And if you dont seek Him, then what is there between you and me?
Ive read the disciple’s (your) silence just as i have read (your) the master’s speech…..
