| Chapter 10 Man is Born is Tao 第十章 人诞生在道里 鱼诞生在水里， 人诞生在道里。 生活在水中的鱼只要寻找池塘和水池， 那么它们所有的需要就都满足了。 诞生在道里的人只要沈入无为 而忘掉积极和操心， 那么他就不缺任何东西， 而他的生命也就没有问题。 |
Fishes are born in water, man is born in Tao.
If fishes, born in water, seek the deep shadow of pond and pool,
all their needs are satisfied.
If man, born in Tao,
sinks into the deep shadow of nonaction to forget aggression and concern,
he lacks nothing,
and his life is secure.

| Needs can be fulfilled, but desires cannot be. Desire is a need gone mad. Needs are simple; they come from nature. Desires are very complex; they don’t come from nature, they are created by the mind. Needs are moment-to moment, they are created out of life itself. Desires are not moment-to-moment, they are always for the future. They are not created by life itself, they are projected by the mind. Desires are projections, they are not really needs. This is the first thing to be understood, and the deeper you understand it the better... --Osho When the Shoe Fits, ch. 10 |
