things, they never meet.
This is what I mean when I say mechanical. Mechanical means: on one layer you go on saying beautiful
things and on another layer you go on doing all ugly things. On one layer you say everyone is divine and on
the other you remain the I, the ego, fighting, violent, aggressive.
And aggression is not only in war, it is not that when you kill a person then it is aggression. Aggression
is so subtle, in your gestures it is there. You look, and if you are divided with I and thou, your look is
violent.
I have heard once it happened:
A prisoner was brought to the warden of the prison, and that prisoner was an ideal one. For five years
there had been no complaint against him, and the prison authorities were thinking now to make him free. He
was a murderer and he was in prison for his whole life, but for five years he had been such a good prisoner,
the model, and every year he was given the prize for the best prisoner. But suddenly he jumped on his cell
mate and beat him hard, so he was called.
Even the warden was surprised. He said, "What has happened? Because for five years we have been
watching you -- I have never in my life seen such a good, silent, well-behaved prisoner as you, and we were
thinking to make you free. And suddenly, what has happened? Why did you jump on your cell mate? Why
did you start beating him?"
The man stood there with a hung head, very ashamed. And then he said, "It happened because my cell
mate tore off the leaf from the calendar and it was my turn."
They had a calendar in the cell and that was the only thing that they could do, the only action that was
allowed to them. So they had divided it: one day one would tear off the leaf, another day the other. And this
man said, "Today was MY turn, and he tore off the leaf."
If you are violent even this can become a problem. And he beat the cell mate so hard that he would have
killed him, just with his bare hands, and the problem was a very simple one. But you don't understand if you
really think it is a simple one -- it is not. Living in a cell for five years, not doing anything, one accumulates
so much aggression that even this small thing can become too big.
And this is happening to you all. Whenever you jump on your friend, your wife, your husband,
whenever you get angry -- have you ever thought about it? -- that the matter is really such a small thing, just
tearing off a leaf from the calendar. Out of all proportion your accumulated anger and aggression comes out.
Whenever it happens, repeat -- not mechanically, consciously -- "Not two," and you will feel a sudden
relaxation deep inside the heart. Say "Not two" and there is no choice, there is nothing to choose, like and
dislike. Then everything is okay, and you can bless everything. Then wherever life leads, you go. You trust
life.
If you say "Two" then you don't trust. Trust is possible only if I and the whole is one, otherwise how is
trust possible? Trust is not an intellectual standpoint, attitude. It is a total response to the feeling that only
one exists, NOT TWO. Make this your mantra, from Sosan learn this.
As many times as you feel doubt coming, confusion, division, conflict, repeat it very silently and deeply.
First become conscious of the conflict, then repeat silently, "Not two," and see what happens. The conflict
disappears. Even if for a single moment it disappears, it is a great phenomenon. You are at ease, suddenly
there is no enemy in the world, suddenly everything is one. It is a family, and the whole is blissful with you.
IN THIS "NOT TWO" NOTHING IS SEPARATE, NOTHING IS EXCLUDED. NO MATTER WHEN OR
WHERE, ENLIGHTENMENT MEANS ENTERING THIS TRUTH.
THE TRUTH OF NOT TWO. Enlightenment means entering this truth of not two. Go on tasting it as
much as you can, go on feeling it as much as you can. Twenty-four hours a day there are opportunities,
opportunities and opportunities -- infinite opportunities. No need to miss them.
At every opportunity, whenever you feel some tension inside, say "Not two" and relax the whole body.
And look within at what is happening when you say "Not two." No mantra can be so deep as this. But this is
not like repeating AUM, RAM. This is not like repeating when you repeat: RAM, RAM, RAM. No. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
