奧修:
只有自我能夠被碰觸,它非常容易被觸怒,如果有人只是以某種方式來看你,它就被觸怒了,他並沒有做什麼.如果某人笑一笑,它就被觸動了,如果有人轉過頭去而不去看你,它就被觸動了.它非常容易被觸動,它就好像一個傷口,那個傷口永遠都是未癒合的,新的.你一碰到它,那個痛就產生了.一句話,一個姿勢,別人或許甚至沒有覺知到他對你做了什麼,但是他已經觸犯到你.
And you always think the other is responsible, that he has wounded you. No, you carry your wound. With the ego your whole being is a wound. And you carry it around. Nobody is interested in hurting you, nobody is positively waiting to hurt you; everybody is engaged in safeguarding his own wound. Who has got the energy? But still it happens, because you are so ready to be wounded, so ready, just waiting on the brink for anything.
你一直都認為別人應該負責,認為他傷害到你.不,是你自己攜帶你的創傷.帶著自我,你整個存在都是一個創傷,你攜帶著它到處跑.沒有人對傷害你有興趣,沒有人故意等在那裡要傷害你,每一個人都致力於保護他自己的創傷,誰有那個能量?但它還是會發生,因為你是那麼地準備好要被傷害,你就在那個邊緣等著,隨時準備有什麼會發生.
You cannot touch a man of Tao. Why? -- because there is no one to be touched. There is no wound. He is healthy, healed, whole. This word 'whole' is beautiful. The word 'heal' comes from 'whole', and the word 'holy' also comes from 'whole'. He is whole, healed, holy.
你無法碰觸到一個道中之人,為什麼呢?因為沒有一個人可以被碰觸到.沒有傷口,他是健康的,完整的,被治好的.[完整](Whole)這個字很美,[治好](heal)這個字來自[完整],而[神聖](holy)這個字也來自[完整].他是完整的,被治療好的,神聖的.
Be aware of your wound. Don't help it to grow, let it be healed; and it will be healed only when you move to the roots. The less the head, the more the wound will heal -- with no head there is no wound. Live a headless life. Move as a total being, and accept things.
要小心你的傷口,不要幫助它成長,要讓它被治好,唯有當你走到根部,它才會被治癒.頭腦越少,那個傷口就越會被治好.當沒有頭腦,就沒有傷口.過一個沒有頭腦的生活,以一個全然的存在來行動,並接受所有的事情.
Just for twenty-four hours, try it -- total acceptance, whatsoever happens. Someone insults you, accept it, don't react, and see what happens. Suddenly you will feel an energy flowing in you that you have not felt before. Somebody insults you: you feel weak, you feel disturbed, you start thinking of how to get your revenge. That man has hooked you, and now you will move round and round. For days, nights, months, even years, you will not be able to sleep, you will have bad dreams. People can waste their whole life over a small thing, just because someone insulted them.
只要24小時,試試看,不論發生什麼事,你都要全然接受.有人侮辱你,接受它,不要反應,然後看看會有什麼樣的事發生.突然間,你將會感覺到有一股能量在你裡面流動,那是你以前從來沒有感覺過.某人侮辱你,你就覺得虛弱,你就覺得受到打擾,你就會開始想說要如何報復.那個人坑了你,那麼你就在那裡繞來繞去,有幾天的時間,幾個晚上,幾個月,甚至幾年,你都無法安眠,你都會有惡夢.人們可能會在一些小事情上面浪費掉他們整個人生,就因為有人侮辱了他們.
Just look back into your past and you will remember a few things. You were a small child and the teacher in the class called you an idiot, and you still remember it and you feel resentment. Your father said something. Your parents have forgotten, and even if you remind them, they will not be able to remember it. Your mother looked at you in a certain way and since then the wound has been there. And it is still open, fresh; if anybody touches it, you will explode.
只要回顧一下你的過去,你就會想起一些事情.從前你是一個小孩,班上的老師把你喊作白痴,這件事你到現在還記得,你覺得怨恨.你的父母曾經對你說了些什麼,他們已經忘了,即使你提醒他們,他們也已經記不得了.你的母親以某種方式看著你,自從那個時候開始,那個創傷就一直存在,它到現在還是活生生的,如果有人碰觸到它,你就爆發.
Don't help this wound to grow. Don't make this wound your soul. Go to the roots, be with the whole. For twenty-four hours, just twenty-four hours, try not to react, not to reject, whatsoever happens.
不要去幫助那個傷口成長,不要使它傷到你的靈魂,要進入根部,跟整體在一起,用24小時的時間,只要24小時,不論有什麼樣的事發生,試著不要去反應,不要去拒絕. If someone pushes you and you fall to the ground -- fall! Then get up and go home. Don't do anything about it. If somebody hits you, bow down your head, accept it with gratitude. Go home, don't do anything, just for twenty-four hours. And you will know a new upsurge of energy that you have never known before, a new vitality arising from the roots. And once you know it, once you have tasted it, your life will be different. Then you will laugh at all the foolish things you have been doing, at all the resentments, reactions, revenges, with which you have been destroying yourself.
Nobody else can destroy you except you; nobody else can save you except you. You are the Judas and you are the Jesus.
除了你自己之外,其他沒有人能夠摧毀你;除了你自己之外,其他沒有人能夠拯救你.你既是猶大,你也是耶穌.
Enough for today.今天到此為止
