My Own Light
“Whenever
society is in tune with existence you will be in tune with society; whenever
society is not in tune with existence you will not be in tune with
society. But the real moral person never
cares, he is even ready to risk his life.
Socrates did that, Jesus did that.
Buddha was constantly living in danger.
This has always been the case, for the simple reason that they were
living according to their own light.”
“If it fits
with society, good; if it does not fit with society it is bad for society but
it has nothing to do with you. Society
has to change itself. Socrates is not
going to change himself, Jesus is not going to change himself according to
society, Buddha is not going to live according to the crowd. The crowd consists of blind people, of
utterly unconscious people who are fast asleep, who know nothing of
themselves. To follow them is the most
stupid thing in the world that man can do.
One should be intelligent enough to wake up one’s own consciousness.” –
Osho “Tarot in the Spirit of Zen” pg. 134
I do not follow society, I follow my own light
within. I stay away from the crowd and I
do my own thing. I am outside of the
crowd. I live my life in privacy with a
few loved ones and I follow my inner light towards the way. The crowd will never be in tune with the Tao,
it is impossible. To live according to
the Tao, it is rare. The Tao is hidden,
the Way is hidden. I trust my inner light,
I have trust in the way of my heart, it is beyond any organization, beyond any
tradition, beyond any authority. I do
not need to follow anybody, I simply follow my heart, my heart knows the
Way. Socrates, Jesus, Buddha, Osho,
Lao-tzu are all inspirations to me. They
all lived and died following their inner light.
