As a child
just be as simple as a child.
Just be again a child as you were born,
as God sent you into this world.
In that mirror like state
you will be able
to reflect that which is.
Innocence is the door to knowing.
Knowledge is the barrier
and innocence is the bridge.
*************************
Real worship
Real worship consists of living.
Real worship consists of small things.
A religious man lives day to day,
moment to moment.
Cleaning the floor and there is worship.
Preparing food and there is worship.
Worship is a quality-
it has nothing to do
with the act itself,
it is the attitude
that you bring to the act.
Recognize! See!
And there is worship!
The Zen people say:
"If you meet Buddha
on the way, kill him!"
And they worship Buddha,
and still they say:
"If you meet Buddha
on the way, kill him!"
They are simply saying
what Buddha himself
has said.
Buddha
insisted his whole life:
Don't follow...Understand!
Imbibe my spirit,
but don't
follow my character,
which is going to be unique,
because no other individual
has ever been there
who is like you
and no other individual
will ever be there
who can be like you.
You are unique!
Don't become imitators.
But that's what happens
people become followers.
Don't follow...Understand!
Never get hooked
by "ifs" and "buts".
Make life simple
and without
"ifs" and "buts"
life is very simple.
"Ifs" and "buts"
create
great complexity.
Because
we create our life
through thinking:
if you say "if"
then there
will be an "if";
you are projecting it.
Don't project
hesitations......
Man creates
his own world
by thinking about it
continuously.
just be as simple as a child.
Just be again a child as you were born,
as God sent you into this world.
In that mirror like state
you will be able
to reflect that which is.
Innocence is the door to knowing.
Knowledge is the barrier
