Guest guest Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Into the same rivers we step and do not step. You cannot step twice in the same river. Everything flows and nothing abides. Everything gives way and no thing stays fixed. Cool things become warm, the warm grows cool. The moist dries, the parched becomes moist. It is by disease that health is pleasant; by evil that good is pleasant; by hunger, satiety, by weariness, rest. It is one and the same thing to be living or dead, awake or asleep, young or old. The former aspect in each case becomes the latter, and the latter again the former, by sudden unexpected reversal. It throws apart and then brings together again. All things come in their due seasons. Into the same rivers we step and do not step... ....because the appearance, and remember, only the appearance, remains the same. Otherwise, everything changes and flows. Osho: The Hidden Harmony, Chapter 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Everything must change nothing stays the same everything must change no one and nothing goes unchanged the young become the old and mysteries do unfold for that's the way of time no one and nothing goes unchanged the winter turns to spring a wounded heart will heal but never much too soon no one and nothing goes unchanged there are not many things in life one can be sure of except rain falls from the clouds sun lights up the sky hummingbirds will fly (lyric from a song sung by Judy Collins.) I played this as the introduction to a MahaShivaratri puja one year. -- Len/ Kalipadma On Tue, 17 Jun 2003 06:50:43 -0700 (PDT) Supraath <supraath writes: > Into the same rivers we step and do not step. > You cannot step twice in the same river. > > Everything flows and nothing abides. > Everything gives way and no thing stays fixed. > > Cool things become warm, the warm grows cool. > The moist dries, the parched becomes moist. > > It is by disease that health is pleasant; > by evil that good is pleasant; > by hunger, satiety, by weariness, rest. > It is one and the same thing to be living or dead, > awake or asleep, young or old. > The former aspect in each case becomes the latter, > and the latter again the former, > by sudden unexpected reversal. > It throws apart > and then brings together again. > > All things come in their due seasons. > > > > Into the same rivers we step and do not step... > > ...because the appearance, and remember, only the appearance, > remains the same.
