![]() The real man is born only when your inner monkey completely disappears, utterly disappears. Charles Darwin says that man has evolved only on the surface – deep down man is as restless as other monkeys. The bird has flown but no marks are left nobody can follow. If God comes through silence then God is not for me and I am not for God.'

The Way is not like a super-highway the Way is more like a bird flying in the sky it leaves no marks behind. It is against my nature, it would drive me crazy. I am a monkey, I have the potentiality, I can also do it – but sitting silently, doing nothing? Sir, that is impossible. It is not ready-made, available you cannot just decide to walk on it, you will have to find it. If you told me to fetch the moon I could bring it if you told me to remove the Himalayas I could do it if you told me to force the Ganges to run up-current I could do it – because in the old ancient days other monkeys like Hanuman have been known to do it. Tao: The Pathless Path, Vol 1 Chapter 1 Chapter title: Voluntary death 11 February 1977 am in Buddha Hall Archive code: 7702110 ShortTitle: TAO101 Audio: Yes. I thought that if there was something I could do I would do it, but this is impossible. To be a man of Tao is arduous, it needs guts. To be a Taoist is easy, it is very cheap: you can always borrow knowledge. It is not his own experience, it is not his own existential understanding it is still knowledge, it is not knowing. ![]() He enters through the door of silence – but that is possible only when you are not a doer. Taoist in the sense that he believes that Tao is true, but not a man of Tao because his belief is unbased. When the mind is a quiet surface, when everything is silent and calm, God enters. And when your mind is wavy God cannot enter. ![]() Anything done on your part is a disturbance, creates ripples, creates waves. When the right moment comes, suddenly you are full of tremendous joy and peace and God. Sitting silently, the spring comes and the grass grows by itself. "The master looked at the monkey, felt great compassion for him, and said, 'I don't do anything. "One day he said to the master, 'What do you do? Please tell me also. More information is not more knowing – and more knowing does not necessarily mean more information."Whenever he could find the time and whenever the master was sitting in the garden, he would come close and sit by his side. He has more information but not more knowing. As far as your being is concerned he is the same as you. He is not more of a knower than you, the knowledge is not yet qualitative. For the man of Tao, all women are one woman because he looks at the energy and not at the form. Bertrand Russell of course knows more than you but the knowledge is quantitative. The first thing: for the man of Tao there is not many and one. There is no basic difference because the innermost core remains the same. If Bertrand Russell succeeds he is as happy as anybody else. Leih Tzu was a well-known Taoist master in the fourth century B.C. ![]() If Albert Einstein fails he feels as frustrated as anybody else. In Tao: The Pathless Path, Osho, one of the greatest spiritual teachers of the twentieth century, comments on five parables from the Leih Tzu, bringing a fresh and contemporary interpretation to the ancient wisdom of Tao. "If you insult an Albert Einstein he becomes as angry as anybody else. You will find as ordinary and ignorant a person as any other. Just scratch a little and his knowledge will not be of any help. Scratch the man of knowledge and soon you will find ignorance coming out of him. If the knower himself is in deep darkness all his knowledge is just superficial, it cannot even be skin deep. You know science, you know things, you know the world – but you don't know yourself. "First, unless you know yourself, all knowing is useless unless you know yourself, all knowing is only pseudo-knowing – you appear to know but you don't really know. "Before we enter this very symbolic and very significant parable, a few things have to be understood. We must have misunderstood the very nature of knowledge. Man knows much the knowledge has grown every day, and yet deep down man remains as ignorant as ever. It is as if he has made a big building and the foundation is missing. Man knows many things but the fundamental is missing. "So the fundamental question is: What is the nature of knowledge? What is real knowledge? Man knows many things and yet remains ignorant. In this darkness, if frustration happens, what more can you expect? In this darkness, if you only die and never live, it seems logical. In this darkness, if failure happens, it is natural. We have not yet attained to the light of inner being which can enlighten our path. ![]()
