一针见血的一段话

请不断地禅观下去，

直到你在最残酷不仁的政治领袖身上、

在受到最恐怖刑求的犯人身上、

在最富有的人身上、

在饥饿瘦弱的不成人形的孩童身上看到自己。

直到你在公车上、在地铁上、在集中营里，

在田里劳动的人群身上发现自己的存在；

直到你在一片树叶、一只毛虫、一滴露珠和一道阳光中领悟自身的存在。

不断地禅观、直到你能在一粒微尘中和最遥远辽阔的银河中看见自己。

BLAME

When a worldly man is miserable,

he blames the people around him,the system and the world in general.

When a seeker is miserable,

he blames the world,

but in addition he blames the path,the knowledge and himself.


It is better not to be a seeker

so that you blame less.

But then a seeker-a sadhak-has much more enjoyment.

And WHEN THERE IS MORE JOY,THE CONTRAST GREATER.

There is more love in life and more pain.

A certain level of MATURITY is needed to SEE THINGS AS THEY ARE

and not to blame the path, the self and the world.
