| The Hidden Harmony--Chinese |
| mp3 audio in standard Chinese by a native speaker from the People's Republic of China. |
| Heraclitus is not a chooser, he is simply a choiceless awareness. He is not to choose, he is simply to say whatsoever is the case. He doesn't bring his own morality into it, he does not bring his own mind into it, he simply reflects; he is a mirror. Gandhi, Tolstoy, Ruskin, they are choosers; they have their own idea to impose on God. They impose the idea of peace, that God is peace; then war is from the Devil. But it is not possible... --Osho The Hidden Harmony, ch. 4 |
| 第四章 上帝是白天与黑夜 上帝是白天与黑夜， 冬季与夏天， 战争与和平， 满足与欲望。 海水是纯净的，同时又是污浊的。 对于鱼，它是可以喝的，有益健康的； 对于人，它是不能喝的，是致命的。 白天与黑夜的本质是同一的。 上行之路和下行之路是同一条路。 即使是睡者， 也是这宇宙发生之事的协作者。 在一个圆圈中，开始和结束是同一个点。 |

| God is day and night, winter and summer, war and peace, satiety and want. Sea water is at once very pure and very foul: it is drinkable and healthful for fishes, but undrinkable and deadly for men. The nature of day and night is one. The way up and the way down are one and the same. Even sleepers are workers and collaborators in what goes on in the universe. In the circle the beginning and the end are common. |
