WHATEVER RUNS COUNTER TO THE MIND AND WILL OF ORDINARY PEOPLE HINDERS THE LAW OF MEN AND THE LAW OF BUDDHA. A great statement. A rare statement. only a man who knows can say such a thing. It can't be uttered by the pundits and the scholars, it can be said only by a seer. It has the taste that one has known, that one has lived, that one has experienced. It is a rebellious statement. Just think of its implications: "Whatever runs counter to the mind and will of ordinary people is against the Law of Buddha." So whatsoever is in tune with the ordinary mind, with the ordinary people, is in tune with the Law of Buddha. See the immensity of the implications. Don't try to be special – because the only way to be special is to run counter to the ordinary man... – Osho Take It Easy, Vol. 2, ch. 3 |
