| mp3 audio in standard Chinese by a native speaker from the People's Republic of China. |
| Says Heraclitus, "It is good that things don't happen as you wish them." That is the only possibility of your awakening. That's why he says it is good – because if every desire is fulfilled you will be completely in a coma because there will be no disturbance. You wanted riches, and riches are there. You wanted beautiful women, and beautiful women are there. You wanted success and success is there. You wanted a ladder to reach to heaven and the ladder is there. You will be in a coma, you will be in a dream. If everything is fulfilled you will never try to seek the truth, there will be no gap for you... because only misery, dukkha, unhappiness, the hell that you create around you, helps you to wake. It shocks you towards waking... --Osho The Hidden Harmony, ch. 10 |
| 第十章 自然喜欢隐藏 如果事情就像人们所希望的 那样发生，这不见得更好。 除非你期待不可期待的， 否则你将永远找不到真理， 因为它是很难被发现的， 它是很难被达成的。 自然喜欢隐藏。 神殿在特尔斐的上帝既不说， 也不隐瞒，但它给了示意。 |

| It would not be better if things happened to men just as they wish. Unless you expect the unexpected you will never find the truth, for it is hard to discover and hard to attain. Nature loves to hide. The Lord whose oracle is at Delphi neither speaks nor conceals – but gives signs. |
