OSHO: The Philosophical Frog and the Centipede


quietly expressed in words
presents
Philosophical Frog and the Centipede
… one of Aesop’s fables.
a centipede
It was taking morning stroll.
So Centipede has a hundred feet.
The frog’s eye,
We do not believe eyes,
nictate
naughty looks …
hundred feet!
As it arrives?
Which raised the money,
then the second,
then the third,
then the fourth …?
A hundred feet!
If you forget the number?
will be ashamed at your feet
and will fall.
She rushes to him,
cast,
Centipede stops and asks,
“Uncle
I do not want to encumber the morning walk,
but a more philosophical question
I have borne in mind,
which can not be resolved.
I’m just a frog, I know.
Only you can help. “
Centipede says, “What is the problem?”
Frog explains,
“This is the problem:
I saw your hundred feet,
I counted;
and the problem is
how it arrives? “
Centipede said, “Never mind I have not gone through it.
Will try
I see how
I have achieved.
I have never thought about it. Indeed I have seen down
and I have not counted the legs.
You are great,
you are a mathematician
and philosophers! “
Centipede tried,
and you can
to visualize what might have happened.
He crashed shortly,
all one hundred of his feet
confused with each other.
He was very angry with the frog and said,
“Never do I do to whom such questions.
Keep your philosophy for themselves!
Moj stupid –
I have achieved
during my whole life
dhej not only I,
millions njëqindkëmbësha
They succeed wonderfully.
No one is like me down.
But now I fear:
you have
raised such a question in my mind
that if
I do not get rid of this question. “
I might not be able to walk at all.
Now tell me how to get rid of this question.
The frog said,
“I do not know.
Even myself am confused.
I asked you because
are experienced person, centipede age,
and appears every day in the morning stroll;
If you can not solve, how can I?
I’m just a poor deprived frog. “
I do not know what happened
centipede with it then, but
I can only imagine that his whole life should be a mess.
Occasionally question
It must be remembered,
“A hundred feet!
Do you put the right foot in the right place? “
Life has its own ways.
At the moment everything starts to menagjosh,
will overwrite.
Let the life of her freedom.
For love, let freedom
and do not reach the solid idea.
Try This!
Do not start with the idea that love is permanent or non-permanent.
Try and you will know how it is.
Criterion what is and what is not true do not take from others.
These are teachers who are corrupted all mankind.
They show you how to walk,
that foot which first and second,
and if i put in another sequence you are a sinner,
It will fall to hell.
Hell is too far – will fall here
