#tao the pathless path

[anne-bsd-bibliophile]

Live for yourself and you will live for everybody else, but it is not a sacrifice, Live for yourself. Be really authentically selfish—that is the way of nature. You take care of your happiness, your rest, your life, and you will be simply surprised that when you are happy, you help others to be happy because you understand by and by that if others are happy you will be more happy. Happiness can exist only in an ocean of happiness. It cannot exist alone. Remember the logic, the deep logic of selfishness. Happiness cannot exist like an island, no. If everybody were unhappy around you, then it would be very difficult for you to be happy—almost impossible, because this ocean of unhappiness all around would go on crashing on your shores. The misery all around you would affect you; it would penetrate your being. So a happy person by and by comes to understand the basic, the fundamental law, that “If I want to be happy, it is good to make people happy around me.” But he is not serving others, remember. He is not sacrificing. He is simply selfish. He wants to smile, he helps you to smile too, because a single smile cannot exist; it will look very absurd. Just think: you are sitting in a room full of people, only one person smiles and all the rest are serious. He will look a little embarrassed, he will start feeling guilty: Why did he smile when nobody else is smiling? Something has gone wrong. He should be more careful next time; he will think twice.

Tao - 1

The experience of the Tao has no name.

It can’t be investigated, nor can it be trained.

Beyond all words, names and concepts, 

it can be experienced.

Living the experience of the Tao

is Selfknowledge without the delusion of I do.

Experience and realisation are one.

It is the pathless path in the eternal now

for the benefit of all existence.

Free of attachment 

the manifestations of the Tao can be known.

Wishful thinking and attached feelings 

without Selfknowledge

leads to egoism and insanity.

The Tao can be experienced perfectly

without any knowledge,

but the words make it possible 

for us to be conscious about the Tao.

The appropriate interpretation of the Tao leads to

beauty, understanding and compassion.

The inappropriate interpretation leads to

egoism, confusion and suffering.

Experience and knowledge are real,

both emanate from the Tao.

The experience is simple,

the knowledge is complex.

By using the appropriate means

we extend personal existence 

beyond the limitations 

of the complexity of the mind, 

in this way experience and knowledge merge.

From the book: The Tao of the 21st century

OSHO: Tao The Pathless Path | Discourse 10

[yogeshnaikt]

🤔 DREAM WITHIN DREAM WITHIN DREAM 🤔 Osho: Dream within dream within dream... this is how the mind goes on. Once you start dreaming, there is no end to it; and what you call thinking is better called dreaming - it is not thinking. Remember, truth needs no thinking, it needs experience. When you see the sun and the light you don't think about it, you SEE it. When you come across a rose flower you don't THINK about it, you SEE it. When the fragrance comes to your nostrils you smell it, you don't think about it. I am here, you are looking at me, there is no need to think about me. Whenever you are close to reality, thinking is not needed - then reality is enough, then the experience is enough. When you are far away from reality, you think: you substitute thinking for reality. A man who has eaten well is not going to dream in the night that he has been invited to a feast. A man who has fasted in the day is bound to dream in the night that he has been invited to a feast. A man who is sexually satisfied is not going to dream about sexual objects. That's the whole of Freudian psychology: you dream about things which are missing in your life, you dream to compensate. That's the whole Taoist approach too. What Freud says about thinking, about dreaming, the Taoist approach says about thinking as such. And dreaming is only a part of thinking and nothing else. THINKING IS DREAMING WITH WORDS, DREAMING IS THINKING WITH PICTURES - that's the only difference. Dreaming is a PRIMITIVE way of thinking and thinking is a more EVOLVED way of dreaming - more civilised, more cultured, more intellectual, but it is the same - only the pictures have been replaced by words. And, in a way, because pictures have been replaced by words, it has gone even further away from reality, because reality is closer to pictures than to words. Osho.

I have heard about a Zen Master who was driving a carriage with a woman and her child in it. Much snow was falling and the morning was very cold and there was no sun in the sky, it was cloudy.

The Master started freezing and the woman in the carriage did too. By and by he saw that she was becoming blue and was losing consciousness. So he took away the child, pushed the woman out of the carriage and drove away.

The woman was shocked. She was left standing there in the falling snow, her child had been taken away – what type of man was this? And he had taken the carriage. She started running and shouting and screaming and cursing – and within half a mile, because of all the running and cursing and shouting and screaming, she was perfectly okay!

Then the Master stopped the carriage, took her in and said, “Now it is okay. I had to do that otherwise you would have died.”

Great kindness is capable of being hard too. If your kindness is such that you cannot be otherwise, then it is not strength, it is weakness. If you cannot act otherwise, that simply means that you are fixed, you are not fluid. Sometimes it is necessary to be hard…

Sometimes to be really kind implies that you can be unkind too. If you cannot be unkind, then your kindness is not of much worth. It is cultivated. It is not out of awareness.

Osho, Tao: The Pathless Path, Talks on extracts from ‘The Book of Lieh Tzu’, Vol 2, Ch 7 (excerpt)

Portanto, lembre-se disso como um critério: se você está crescendo mais e se tornando um indivíduo, se a vida está acontecendo mais para você, se você está se tornando mais aberto, se mais beleza é sentida na existência, se mais poesia está surgindo em seu coração, se mais AMOR flui através de você, mais compaixão, se você está se tornando mais consciente, então o relacionamento é bom. Continua. Então não é um casamento. Então é intimidade. Mas se o inverso está acontecendo; se toda poesia está desaparecendo e a vida está se tornando prosaica; se todo o amor está desaparecendo e a vida se torna apenas um fardo, um fardo morto; se toda música está morrendo e você está apenas vivendo como um dever, então é melhor escapar desta prisão. É melhor para você e é melhor para o parceiro com quem você está morando. OSHO • Tao: The Pathless Path Vol. 2 https://www.instagram.com/p/CQBgC4-nn68/?utm_medium=tumblr

O ego não quer ser o todo

Então eu não estou ensinando você a ser bom. Não estou ensinando você a ser mau. Eu estou ensinando você apenas a ser inteiro. Ser inteiro é ser saudável e ser saudável é ser sagrado.

Mas o ego não quer ser inteiro, pois se você é o todo ele não poderá existir. O ego existe apenas na divisão. Quando você está lutando consigo mesmo o ego existe. O ego sempre existe através do conflito... O conflito é seu alimento, sua nutrição. Assim se você está inteiro, o ego não poderá existir. Você pode olhar isto. Você pode ir e olhar os criminosos, - Você pode ir e olhar seus santos – eles tem seu ego – o ego do bom e o ego do mau. Mas se você puder encontrar um homem que não tenha ego, ele não será nem um pecador, nem um santo, ele vai ser muito simples. Ele não vai reclamar de nada bom ou ruim... ele não vai reivindicar nada.

O ego é criado pela quebra... Quando você está lutando, o ego entra. quando você não está lutando, o ego não pode entrar. Ego é uma tensão. Se você quer o ego, então divida-se tanto quanto possível. Torne-se duas pessoas. É isto que acontecendo com muitas pessoas, isto é o que aconteceu com toda a humanidade. Todos tornaram-se duas pessoas – uma voz diz – faça isto – a outra voz diz – não faça isto – então o ego surge.. O ego surge com a fricção, e o ego é muito intoxicante, torna você inconsciente. Este é todo o mecanismo.

Osho, Tao: The Pathless Path Vol. 1, Capítulo # 14    

[c-o-n-s-c-i-o-u-s]

El ego no quiere ser íntegro

"Así que no te estoy enseñando a ser bueno, No te estoy enseñando a ser malo; Te estoy enseñando solamente a ser íntegro. Ser íntegro es estar saludable, y estar saludable es ser santo. Pero el ego no quiere ser íntegro, porque cuando tú eres íntegro, el ego no puede existir. El ego existe sólo en la división. Cuando estás peleando contigo mismo, el ego existe. El ego siempre existe a través del conflicto; el conflicto es su comida, su nutrición. Así que si tú eres íntegro, el ego no puede existir. Puedes mirarlo. Puedes ir y mirar a los criminales: ellos tienen su ego; puedes ir y mirar a tus santos: ellos tienen su ego; el ego del bueno y el ego del malo. Pero si tú puedes encontrar un hombre que no tenga ego, él no será ni un pecador ni un santo, será muy simple. Él no reclamará ninguna cosa buena o mala; no reclamará nada. El ego es creado por la grieta. Cuando estás peleando, el ego entra; cuando no estás peleando, el ego no puede entrar. El ego es tensión. Si quieres el ego, entonces divídete a ti mismo tanto como sea posible; conviértete en dos personas. Eso es lo que le está pasando a mucha gente, eso es lo que le ha pasado a toda la humanidad. Todos se han convertido en dos personas: una voz dice 'has esto', la otra voz dice 'No hagas eso'; después surge el ego. De la fricción surge el ego, y el ego es muy intoxicante; te hace inconsciente. Este es todo el mecanismo". Osho, Tao: The Pathless Path, Vol. 1

Remember this word 'gentleman'. That is the highest value in Confucian ethics the gentleman. And who is a gentleman? - a phony person. Who is a gentleman? - a hypocrite. Who is a gentleman? - one who is masked in manners, etiquette, character; who is conventional, traditional. A gentleman is not an individual, he is just a member of a society. He does not exist on his own; he has no life of his own. He exists only as a part of a society, so whatsoever the society allows IS his life, and whatsoever the society does not allow he denies himself; he chooses society instead of nature. That is what a gentleman does: he chooses man-made law against God-made law. A gentleman is one who has betrayed God, a gentleman is one who has chosen society. And the society is neurotic, and the society is ill, and the society is not normal at all. No normal society has yet existed on the earth. Only rarely have a few individuals been normal. Society is abnormal - a great crowd of mad people. The gentleman is one who follows this crowd. A gentleman has no soul. Of course, the society respects him tremendously, the society has to respect this man, the society calls him the MAHATMA, the 'saint', the 'sage'. The society respects him because the man has sacrificed his life for society. Osho Tao The Pathless Path Vol 1

#40 Real Truth

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

Truth was an important concept to Bruce Lee and it shows up often in his journal entries. But the way he used the word “truth” was not to describe a fact or to be the opposite of a lie. He wrote about a deeper, more of a philosophical, spiritual definition of truth—a concept close to the Tao. It’s why we’re calling it The Real Truth. “The word Tao has no exact equivalent in the English language, to render it into way, principle, or law, is to give it too narrow of an interpretation. Although no one word can substitute for its meaning, I have used the word truth for it.” Bruce understood Truth to be the Tao or the way of the universe. Truth is nowhere and everywhere at the same time, and there a little bits of Truth in all things. This is the way of nature. “Truth is a pathless road, a road that is not a road. It is total expression that has no before or after. How can there be methods and systems by which to arrive at something that is living? To that which is static, fixed, dead, there can be a way, a definite path but not to that which is living.” The Real Truth is something that’s alive, something that we are in relationship with, and happening in the present moment. “Truth comes when your mind and heart are purged of all sense of striving and you are no longer trying to become somebody. It is there when the mind is very quiet, listening timelessly to everything.” “I’ve said before truth is nowhere to be found on a map, your truth is different than that of mine. At first you might think that this is truth, but later you discover another truth and the former truth is denied, but you are, in fact, closer to truth. Perhaps when we have found more about what is not the truth we will be that much closer to the truth.” A core tenet of Bruce Lee’s philosophy is independent inquiry. “We shall find the truth when we examine the problem. The problem is never apart from the answer; the problem is the answer.” If you are moved to this path of Truth, you will come up against established ways and you’ll have to confront your own biases. It’s ok to hold on to your truths, but you should check in regularly with yourself to see if they remain true. “I’m a changing as well as ever-growing man.” Take Action: Are you a seeker? Do you want to be a seeker? Acknowledge that you’re a seeker and on this path to truth and freedom. Tackle one judgment or cultural context that you were raised in and be in inquiry with it. Are you happy in your everyday life? What shifts can you make to amplify your joy? #AAHA This week our #AAHA is Japanese artist and writer Yayoi Kusama. She has worked in a wide variety of media: painting, sculpture, collage, performance art, and environmental installations. She was a part of the pop art movement and influenced Andy Warhol, and exhibited alongside them but did not receive very much recognition during the 1960s. Kusama is now recognized as one of the most important living artists to come out of Japan. In 2008, Christies’s New York sold a work for her for $5.1 million, then a record for a living female artist. Major retrospectives of her work have been held at the MOMA, the Whitney Museum, the Tate Modern, and the Hirshhorn Museum. Her Infinity Room exhibit is currently on display at the Broad in Los Angeles. Yayoi Kusama, you are so awesome! #BruceLeeMoment This week’s moment comes from listener Bruce P.: “I just wanted to say thank you for the great podcasts. I am a hospice chaplain and I obviously deal with grief all day long on a daily basis. Shannon’s frequent laughter as she discusses Bruce’s philosophy and daily life certainly helps me break out of the oppressive spiraling memory of what I have just witnessed at the bedside of a patient. Thank you for the refreshing dialogue and thought provoking discussions presented in such an entertaining way.” Share your #AAHAs, #BruceLeeMoments, and #TakeAction progress with us at hello@brucelee.com Find the full version of our show notes at BruceLee.com/podcast (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push(); Source by Bruce Lee Podcast

‘When does discipline become meditation?’ Never. Discipline never becomes meditation; meditation certainly becomes a discipline. Don’t start with discipline otherwise you will never arrive at meditation. Start with meditation and you will arrive at a discipline, and the discipline will not be imposed from the outside. It will be an inner overflow; you will become luminous from within. In fact, to call it ‘discipline’ is not good because it is so utterly free—but still you can call it discipline. Your life will be disciplined, not by any effort, but by your inner understanding. You will behave responsibly, not that you have to behave that way, you will behave responsibly because a conscious man can behave only in that way—there is no other way. You will not behave for any profit, for any motive; you will behave out of your spontaneity; there will be no greed in it. If somebody is a Christian saint, he is greedy; he wants to reach to the Christian paradise. If somebody is a Jain monk, he is greedy, he is a businessman. He is trying to win over by virtue, to be victorious in the other world, to become a spiritual conqueror; but the idea is of greed. If you go and look around the world at monks and saints and MAHATMAS, you will find ninety-nine per cent of them are just greedy people, materialistic people. They are disciplining themselves because they know that if they sacrifice, great is going to be the pay-off. They are ready to sacrifice, they are ready even to kill themselves—but it is a bargain. A man of meditation, understanding, has no motive, NO BARGAIN WITH REALITY. How can you bargain with reality? The whole idea is silly. A man of meditation is good because it feels good to be good; there is no motive. He is virtuous because being virtuous he feels so happy and so delighted. He loves, he shares, just like a flower shares its scent, its fragrance—naturally. His virtue is not cultivated, conditioned, it is growth in his being. So you ask ‘When does discipline become meditation?’ Never. Discipline never becomes meditation. But meditation always brings a discipline, an inner discipline. And that discipline is BECAUSE of freedom. That discipline is not a new cage, that discipline makes you totally free and liberated. You don’t have any commandments to follow, you don’t follow anybody, any scripture, you simply follow your own inner core. And there is no conflict within you, there are no alternatives. You are not to choose, you don’t have to choose to do this or to do that. Whatsoever arises in your being, you do it. There is never any repentance because a man of meditation cannot do wrong—it doesn’t happen. Whatsoever he is doing, he is doing totally; the next moment he has moved beyond it. He never looks back, he never repents: whatsoever happened, happened; whatsoever did not happen, did not happen. He neither praises himself: ‘I did this,’ neither does he ever feel guilty: ‘Why could I not do this?’ He has no hangover, he is clean-cut from the past. Each moment he moves into the future, each moment the past disappears and he is fresh like the drew-drops in the morning. That discipline has freshness, that discipline has freedom, that discipline has fragrance. Otherwise, discipline makes people dull, stupid. Discipline makes people mediocre; discipline kills your freedom, kills your being; discipline becomes a suicide. So never start with discipline, start with meditation. That’s why my emphasis is on meditation. If discipline comes out of meditation—good, otherwise it is not needed. It is better to have no character than to have a forced character.
