wise man

[Guest guest]

Hi Orva,

 

Why looking for answers? Can you hear the sounds of one hand clapping ? (zen

parable). Answers are consumptions for our tiny mind. And we are here searching

for the state of no mind. Either call it no-mind or call it Mind with a capital

'M'.Calling it 'no-mind' says something negative about it -- it is not the mind

that we are acquainted with. Calling it Mind, indicates its nature, universal

Mind, cosmic Mind, to show the positivity.

 

Osho says, We call a man who has got the answer, wise, but the real wise man

has not got the answer. His questions have disappeared and so have all the

answers -- he is in a tremendous emptiness. And he does not know in the sense of

knowledge.

 

We call a man foolish because he lacks knowledge; we call a man knowledgeable,

wise, because he is full of knowledge. But the really wise man has come to see

that there is no way to know the real. The real is there, you can live it, you

can be it, but there is no way to know it. Knowledge presupposes division -- the

division between the knower and the known; knowledge presupposes distinction;

knowledge is based on duality.

 

A really wise man has come to the point where he is no longer separate, where he

is no longer an island, where he has disappeared into the whole. He pulsates

with the whole, he vibrates with the whole, he is no more. Only God is. This is

the meaning of the Upanishadic seer when he declares 'AHAM BRAHMASMI' -- 'I am

God'. This is the meaning when Christ goes on saying 'I and my father are one.'

A wise man is neither and both.

Thanks for your response. It all sounds good. Others, like you, apparently look

and see. Mostly I just look. Surely the answer is out there somewhere, waiting

for me. Meanwhile I can only trust in Bhagavan Ramana.
