如果你一直对每个人都言听计从,不倾听自己内在的中心,那每个人都企图将你逼离你的中心,你会变得一文不値EN

别听信别人,保持你自己的样子,不必理会他们,要漠不关心。如果你一直对每个人都言听计从,他们会把你推到这里、推到那里,那么你将永远达不到内在最深处的核心。

每个人都已经是反常的,这个字很美:意思是脱离中心,通常用来形容疯子。每个人都是反常的、脱离中心的,整个世界都在促使你脱离中心。每个人都在催促你脱离中心,你的母亲要将你推向北边,你的父亲要将你推向南边,你的叔叔要你做这个,兄弟要你做那个。你的妻子当然也要你做些什么——每个人都企图将你逼向某处。

渐渐地,你会变得一文不値,只是一直在十字路口被推来推去,从北到南、从南到东、从东到西,不久之后,脱离中心就变成你全部的处境。如果你继续听信别人,而不倾听自己内在的中心,这样的处境会继续下去。

倾听内在声音

所有静心的目的都在归于中心,不再远离中心,而是要来到自己的中心。

倾听自己内在的声音,去感觉,跟着那个感觉走。慢慢地,你会对别人的意见感到好笑,或者你只是漠不关心。一旦你归于中心,你会变成一个强而有力的存在,这样就没有人可以刺激你,没有人能够迫使你做什么一一就是没人敢这么做;你是这么有力,这么归于自己的中心,所以任何带着意见靠近你的人都完全忘了那些意见,想要强迫你的人也忘了为何而来,这些人反倒感觉被你折服了。

这就是为什么只是一个人,就可以强大到连整个社会、整个历史都无法对他有丝毫强迫,佛陀就是这样的人,耶稣也是。你可以杀了耶稣,但是你强迫不了他;你可以杀了他的肉体,但是你无法对他有丝毫强迫,这不是因为他铁石心肠或冥顽不化,不是的,他只是归于自己的中心。

同时,他也知道什么对他是好的,什么是让他感到喜乐的,这已然发生,你无法再次引诱他到新的目标去,再也没有什么可以把他引诱到别的目标去,他已经找到自己的源头了;他可以耐心地听你讲话,但是你不可能动摇他,他是归于中心的。

Don’t listen to anybody, you remain yourself. Just bypass them, be indifferent. If you go on listening to everybody, everybody will be prodding you to this way or that. You will never be able to reach your innermost center.

Everybody has become eccentric. This English word is very beautiful: it means off the center, and we use it for the mad people. But everybody is eccentric, off the center, and the whole world is helping you to be eccentric because everybody is prodding you. Your mother prodding you towards north, your father towards south, your uncle is doing something else, your brother something else, your wife, of course, something else — everybody is trying to force you somewhere. 

By and by, a moment comes when you are nowhere. You remain just on the crossroads being pushed from north to south, from south to east, from east to west, moving nowhere. By and by, this becomes your total situation — you become eccentric. This is the situation. And if you go on listening to others and not listening to your inner center, this situation will continue.

All meditation is to become centered, not to be eccentric, to come to your own center.

Listen to your inner voice, feel it, and move with that feeling. By and by, you can laugh at others’ opinions, or you can be simply indifferent. And once you become centered you become a powerful being; then nobody can prod you, then nobody can push you anywhere — simply, nobody dares. You are such a power, centered in yourself, that anybody who comes with an opinion simply forgets his opinion near you; anybody who comes to push you somewhere simply forgets that he had come to push. Rather, just coming near you he starts feeling overpowered by you.

That’s how even a single man can become so powerful that the whole society, the whole history, cannot push him a single inch. That’s how a Buddha exists, a Jesus exists. You can kill a Jesus but you cannot push him. You can destroy his body, but you cannot push him a single inch. Not that he is adamant or stubborn, no, simply he is centered in his own being — and he knows what is good for him, and he knows what is blissful for him. It has already happened; now you cannot allure him towards new goals, no salesmanship can allure him to any other goal. He has found his home. He can listen to you patiently but you cannot move him. He is centered.supreme understanding
