You can learn from everybody, not only from man but also from - TopicsExpress



          

You can learn from everybody, not only from man but also from animals, from trees, from clouds, from rivers. But there is no question of imitating. You cant become a river, but you can learn some quality which is river-likeness: the flow, the let-go. You can learn something from a rose flower. You cannot become a rose flower, you need not, but you can learn something from the rose flower. You see the rose flower so delicate yet so strong in the wind, in the rain, in the sun. By the evening it will be gone but has no care about it, is joyous in the moment. You can learn from the rose flower how to live in the moment. Right now the rose flower is dancing in the wind, in the rain, unafraid, unconcerned for the future. By the evening the petals will wither away, but who bothers about the evening? This moment is all and this dance is all there is. Learn something from the rose. Learn something from the bird on the wing: the courage -- the courage to go into the unbounded. Learn from all sources but dont imitate. But that is possible only if you have found the right space to begin with, and that is acquaintance with yourself. ~OSHO : Zen The Special Transmission, Chapter 10
