Dear Brother/Sister,

 

I got this article from another group and just wanted

to share with you.

 

Only the ego can be touched. It is very touchy. If

somebody just looks at you in a certain way, it is

touched. He has not done anything. If somebody smiles

a little, it is touched; if somebody just turns his

head and does not look at you, it is touched. It is

very touchy. It is like a wound, always open, green.

You touch it and the pain arises. A single word, a

single gesture -- the other may not even be aware of

what he has done to you, but he has touched it.

 

And you always think the other is responsible, that he

has wounded you. No, you carry your wound. With the

ego your whole being is a wound. And you carry it

around. Nobody is interested in hurting you, nobody is

positively waiting to hurt you; everybody is engaged

in safeguarding his own wound. Who has got the energy?

But still it happens, because you are so ready to be

wounded, so ready, just waiting on the brink for

anything.

 

You cannot touch a man of Tao. Why? -- because there

is no one to be touched. There is no wound. He is

healthy, healed, whole. This word 'whole' is

beautiful. The word 'heal' comes from 'whole', and the

word 'holy' also comes from 'whole'. He is whole,

healed, holy.

 

Be aware of your wound. Don't help it to grow, let it

be healed; and it will be healed only when you move to

the roots. The less the head, the more the wound will

heal -- with no head there is no wound. Live a

headless life. Move as a total being, and accept

things.

 

Just for twenty-four hours, try it -- total

acceptance, whatsoever happens. Someone insults you,

accept it, don't react, and see what happens. Suddenly

you will feel an energy flowing in you that you have

not felt before. Somebody insults you: you feel weak,

you feel disturbed, you start thinking of how to get

your revenge. That man has hooked you, and now you

will move round and round. For days, nights, months,

even years, you will not be able to sleep, you will

have bad dreams. People can waste their whole life

over a small thing, just because someone insulted

them.

 

Just look back into your past and you will remember a

few things. You were a small child and the teacher in

the class called you an idiot, and you still remember

it and you feel resentment. Your father said

something. Your parents have forgotten, and even if

you remind them, they will not be able to remember it.

Your mother looked at you in a certain way and since

then the wound has been there. And it is still open,

fresh; if anybody touches it, you will explode.

 

Don't help this wound to grow. Don't make this wound

your soul. Go to the roots, be with the whole. For

twenty-four hours, just twenty-four hours, try not to

react, not to reject, whatsoever happens.

 

If someone pushes you and you fall to the ground --

fall! Then get up and go home. Don't do anything about

it. If somebody hits you, bow down your head, accept

it with gratitude. Go home, don't do anything, just

for twenty-four hours. And you will know a new upsurge

of energy that you have never known before, a new

vitality arising from the roots. And once you know it,

once you have tasted it, your life will be different.

Then you will laugh at all the foolish things you have

been doing, at all the resentments, reactions,

revenges, with which you have been destroying

yourself.

 

Nobody else can destroy you except you; nobody else

can save you except you. You are the Judas and you are

the Jesus.

 

Regards

Kumar
