放手

奧修禪卡   ，它像是内在的導航綫，讓自己靜下心，問一個問題，再抽一張禪卡，所出來的答案每次都會給我很大的啓示和省思。好久沒抽了，今天突然想起抽一張~放手，嗯，明白了，太有意思了。

55. 放手

放手

　　在存在裡面，沒有人是比較優越的，也沒有人是較低劣的。在存在的眼裡，一顆小草和一個巨 大的星球是平等的……但是人們想要比其他東西更高等，他想要征服自然，因此他必須持續地去抗爭。一切的複雜起源都是起於這種抗爭。天真的人是已經放棄抗 爭，他已經不再對「更高」有興趣，他已經不再對「完成什麼」有興趣；他已經對證明他是某號人物沒有興趣；他已經變成好像是一朵玫瑰花，或者好像是一顆荷葉 上的露珠；他已經變成這個無限性的一部份；他已經融解了、融合了，而變成與大海合而為一，只是一個波浪；他已經沒有「我」的概念。這個「我」的消失就是天 真。

 註解：

　　在這張清晨的荷葉圖，我們可以從水波看出剛好有一滴水掉進池塘裡。這是一個寶貴的片刻， 也是一個充滿辛酸的片刻。在臣服於地心引力，以及從葉子上滑落下來的當中，這滴水喪失了它以前的認同來加入底下廣大的水。我們可以想像，在它掉下去之前， 就在那個已知和未知之間的邊緣，它一定曾經顫抖過。

　　選到這張卡表示某種東西已經結束了，而某種東西快要完成。不論它是什麼：一個工作、一個 關係、一個你所喜愛的家、或是任何可以幫助你去定義你是誰的東西——現在該是放掉它的時候了，讓任何悲傷浮現，但是不要試圖去抓住它。有某種更偉大的東西 在等著你，有新的層面等待著被發現。現在你已經無法再回頭了，地心引力已經完成了它的任務，跟著它走，它代表解放。

8 of Water: Letting Go 

In existence there is nobody who is superior and nobody who is inferior. The blade of grass and the great star are absolutely equal.... But man wants to be higher than others, he wants to conquer nature, hence he has to fight continuously.
All complexity arises out of this fight. The innocent person is one who has renounced fighting; who is no longer interested in being higher, who is no longer interested in performing, in proving that he is someone special; who has become like a rose flower or like a dewdrop on the lotus leaf; who has become part of this infinity; who has melted, merged and become one with the ocean and is just a wave; who has no idea of the "I". The disappearance of the ''I" is innocence.
Osho The White Lotus, Chapter 6

 

In this image of lotus leaves in the early morning, we can see in the rippling of the water that one drop has just fallen. It is a precious moment, and one that is full of poignancy. In surrendering to gravity and slipping off the leaf, the drop loses its previous identity and joins the vastness of the water below. We can imagine that it must have trembled before it fell, just on the edge between the known and the unknowable.

To choose this card is a recognition that something is finished, something is completing. Whatever it is--a job, a relationship, a home you have loved, anything that might have helped you to define who you are--it is time to let go of it, allowing any sadness but not trying to hold on. Something greater is awaiting you, new dimensions are there to be discovered. You are past the point of no return now, and gravity is doing its work. Go with it--it represents liberation.
