勇氣

今天抽到的禪卡。

種子無法知道將會發生什麼事,種子從來不知道花朵,種子甚至無法相信它具有變成一朵漂亮的花的潛力。那個旅程很長,不去走那個旅程當然比較安全,因為那個路是未知的,任何事都無法保證。
   任何事都無法被保證。在旅途當中,充滿著危險和陷阱,而種子是安全的,隱藏在堅硬的外殼裡面。但是種子勇敢地去嘗試,它作了一些努力,它拋棄了給它安全 的堅硬外殼而開始移動,那個抗爭立刻開始:跟泥土和石頭奮鬥。原來的種子非常堅硬,但是所發出來的芽卻非常非常柔軟,因此會遇到很多危險。
  當還是一顆種子的時候並沒有什麼危險,種子能夠活千千萬萬年,但是所發出來的芽卻有很多危險。然而那個芽開始走向未知、走向太陽、走向光的源頭,它本身並不知道要走到那裡,也不知道為什麼要走,它必須背一個很大的十字架,但是有一個夢佔據了種子,然後種子就向前走。
  人生的路也是一樣,它是很艱難、很費力的,需要很多勇氣。

註解:
  這張卡顯示出一朵小小的野花要在白天的光底下開出來,卻碰到了岩石的挑戰。它被明亮的金色之光給包圍著,這朵小花展現出它自己小小的壯麗,而一點都不會感到羞澀,它跟最亮的太陽是一樣的。
  當我們面對一個非常困難的情況時,我們會有一個選擇:我們可以變得憎恨,試著去責怪讓我們進入困境的人或事情,或是我們可以去面對那個挑戰而成長。
  這朵花指引我們一個方向,因為它對生命的熱情將它從黑暗引導到光明。反抗生命的挑戰或試圖逃避是沒有意義的。它們就在那裡,如果那個種子要變成花朵,我們必須去經歷那個過程。要有足夠的勇氣去成長,而變成你應該成為的花朵。



The seed cannot know what is going to happen, the seed has never known the flower. And the seed cannot even believe that he has the potentiality to become a beautiful flower. Long is the journey, and it is always safer not to go on that journey because unknown is the path, nothing is guaranteed.

Nothing can be guaranteed. Thousand and one are the hazards of the journey, many are the pitfalls - and the seed is secure, hidden inside a hard core. But the seed tries, it makes an effort; it drops the hard shell which is its security, it starts moving. Immediately the fight starts: the struggle with the soil, with the stones, with the rocks. And the seed was very hard and the sprout will be very, very soft and dangers will be many.

There was no danger for the seed, the seed could have survived for millennia, but for the sprout many are the dangers. But the sprout starts towards the unknown, towards the sun, towards the source of light, not knowing where, not knowing why. Great is the cross to be carried, but a dream possesses the seed and the seed moves.

The same is the path for man. It is arduous. Much courage will be needed.
Osho Dang Dang Doko Dang Chapter 4
Commentary:
This card shows a small wildflower that has met the challenge of the rocks and stones in its path to emerge into the light of day. Surrounded by an aura of bright golden light, it exposes the majesty of its tiny self. Unashamed, it is equal to the brightest sun.

When we are faced with a very difficult situation we have a choice: we can either be resentful, and try to find somebody or something to blame for the hardships, or we can face the challenge and grow.

The flower shows us the way, as its passion for life leads it out of the darkness and into the light. There is no point fighting against the challenges of life, or trying to avoid or deny them. They are there, and if the seed is to become the flower we must go through them. Be courageous enough to grow into the flower you are meant to be.
