Guest guest Posted October 6, 2001 Report Share Posted October 6, 2001 Osho: The wise ones of old had subtle wisdom and depth of understanding. What is depth of understanding? Depth of understanindg is when you can stand in others' shoes, when you can see from others' eyes, when you can feel from others' hands, when you can stand in others' being, at the others' center, and look through him - how he feels, what he feels, what he says. A man of knowledge is always blind, argumentative; he is always right and the other is always wrong. He is always discussing; his discussions become disgusting. He is always arrogant and always on the defensive. He cannot understand anybody. Whatsoever you say he will deny - he will say no because in no he knows there is power. Remember this: a man who has not learned the power of saying yes is not yet wise. He goes on saying no because whenever he says no he feels powerful. Have you felt it? Just say no and you feel powerful. Say yes and you feel surrenndered. Yes becomes difficult, so you go on contradicting whosoever is saying anything. You are always right. How can this be possible? This whole world - so many consciousnesses, so many ways of looking at life - all wrong, only you are right? This seems to be a very very arrogant and violent outlook. A man of understanding understands that somehow everybody has to be right in some sense of other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
