trust in the absence of

Post by sweetwater » December 15th, 2012, 8:21 pm

Osho Zen Tarot : The Transcendental Game of Zen A FOOL IS ONE who goes on trusting; a fool is one who goes on trusting against all his experience. You deceive him, and he trusts you; and you deceive him again, and he trusts you; and you deceive him again, and he trusts you. Then you will say that he is a fool, he does not learn. His trust is tremendous; his trust is so pure that nobody can corrupt it. Be a fool in the Taoist sense, in the Zen sense. Don't try to create a wall of knowledge around you. Whatsoever experience comes to you, let it happen, and then go on dropping it. Go on cleaning your mind continuously; go on dying to the past so you remain in the present, here-now, as if just born, just a babe.

this being, is only being...

to covet it is selfish

to filter it is pointless

to regret it is useless

yet to ignore it is senseless

After such knowledge what forgiveness? Eliot said. What we know is interpreted by our brains from whatever source it discovers and is maybe lost again or reinterpreted as new knowledge.

Whatsoever experience
comes to you, let it happen,
and then go on
dropping it. Go on
cleaning your mind continuously;
go on dying
to the past
so you remain
in the present,
here-now,
as if
just born,
just a babe...

Yes, right on the button.
