A philosopher came to Buddha one day and
asked, " Without words, without the wordless,
will you tell me the truth?"
The Buddha kept silence.
The philosopher bowed and thanked Buddha,
saying, " With your loving kindness I have cleared
away my delusions and entered the true path."
After the philosopher had gone Ananda asked
Buddha what the philosopher had attained.
The Buddha replied, "A good horse runs even at
the shadow of the whip."

| It is very rarely that a philosopher comes to a buddha. It is almost impossible. But whenever it happens, it can become a revolution, it can become a transformation in the philosopher. Why is it so impossible that a philosopher comes to Buddha? Because philosophy and religion are very antagonistic; their approach is totally opposite, diametrically opposite. Philosophy believes in thinking and religion believes in trust. A thinker doubts easily, but cannot trust so easily. A doubting mind is needed to be a philosopher, a very skeptical mind. To be religious deep trust is needed – not at all skeptical, not doubting at all... --Osho No Water, No Moon, ch. 9 |
