智慧不是聪明。聪明是积累知识，智慧是你存在的新鲜度，处女一般天真的自性。智慧之人面对生命无需语言，没有任何信仰，赤裸裸地进入生命，没有任何经书典籍，直接立即地看生命本身，头脑里没有云层。他没有什么要改善的，没有预设什么，没有固定的想法。这样他永远不会受到挫折。他只是敞开心扉，如处子一般脆弱，那么实相就会从各个角度穿透他的每一个细胞。他变得像一块海绵，把实相吸收进去。做一块新鲜的海绵——完全放空——这样你就能吸收整个实相，那就是静心的全部。静心意味着放下头脑，放下形而上学，放下关于实相的教义，这样实相本身才能够穿透你，进入你。如果你紧抓着教义不放手，那是小聪明在作怪，而不是智慧。一个智慧之人永远是自由的，聪明永远都是不自由的。聪明总是试图与过去一致，智慧总是试图回应当下。聪明人是前后一致的。智慧之人会非常矛盾，聪明是符合逻辑的，事实上，太符合逻辑了——吹毛求疵，逻辑控。智慧之人不符合逻辑，他只是真实——而实相就是矛盾的。他没有固定的想法强加于实相之上，也没有固定的模型强加在实相之上。他是灵活的，流动的，像水一样。他准备好与实相一起流动，实相赋予他什么样的器形，他就呈现什么样的造化。他从来不说“不”。记住这一点，聪明人总是说“不”，智慧之人活的是“是”。他对实相说“是”，无论那是什么，他没有争斗，没有抗衡，他是实相的一部分。智慧与聪明截然不同。聪明只是在试着、假装智慧，那是虚假的替代品。一旦你变得聪明，你就会变得自我。一旦你变得自我，你就会变得封闭。如果你很聪明并试图解锁实相，以某些教义为依据，寄望于能够找到钥匙，打开实相的锁，那么那个钥匙就是障碍——因为从来都没有上锁，门是开着的。你一定听说过Houdini，一个魔术师，过去经常开各种锁，各种铁链，牢房，只要几分钟——顶多三分钟。但有一次，一生当中只有一次，他被骗了。在意大利，他绞尽脑汁一个小时都没打开。来看他开锁的人都开始担心了——他从来没这样过。三分钟之内，有时候甚至只要几秒钟就能打开。发生了什么事？一个小时后他出来时已经大汗淋漓了，非常疲惫，还有点怪异。他说：“他们在愚弄我，门没锁，门是开着的，我在用钥匙试。那不是锁，只是一个孔洞，我在试着从那个孔洞中打开锁，但根本没有锁。”当然，如果没有锁你就无法打开它，他越来越着急，他想不到他们在跟他玩把戏，门根本没锁，只是一个孔洞，里面没有锁心，所以找不到适配的钥匙。他的基本信息就是：“敲门，你就会发现门一直是开着的，一直都开着。”聪明试图制造钥匙——因为那些钥匙，你一直在错过。一旦你有了钥匙······当然，它看起来像一把钥匙——它并不是钥匙，因为从来不适配，它无法适配，因为没有锁心，但它看起来像是钥匙······一旦你有了一把钥匙，你就会一直捍卫它，它变成了你的小毯子，你的布娃娃。印度教徒一直在捍卫他们的宗教。他们不是太担心它的用处，却一直在捍卫它。穆斯林一直在捍卫他们的宗教，基督徒一直在制造垃圾学说。我从来没见过比基督教学说更垃圾的——烂透了。但他们一直在制造——并为之辩护，他们必须辩护。他们自己说的东西自己从来不用，钥匙从来没产生作用，但他们一直在捍卫着。人们以各种奇怪的方式捍卫他们的钥匙和教义。他们的全部能量都卡在徒劳的努力上。你观察过吗？如果你没有任何教义，你会很享受；当人们开始将他们的教义进行合理化并为之捍卫时是很可笑的。有很多次······他们来到我这里。几年前一个基督教传教士来过，他开始讲他的神学。我听了半个小时，然后问他：“我只想问一件事——它对你有帮助吗？因为你看起来几乎是疯了。你一定遇到过耶和华的见证人和其他疯狂的人······”但他没办法听见，就好像他不在一样。然后，一个小时过去了。我说：“稍微停一下，你说的是什么？它对你有帮助吗？”他承认对他没有帮助，但他希望会有帮助。我告诉他：“有些东西对我有帮助——你想听吗？”人们充满绝望地抓着他们的信仰。他们不是在说服别人，事实上，透过说服别人他们在说服自己。只有他们自己，他们会开始害怕。“谁知道我相信的东西对还是不对？”当他们说服了别人，有人说：“是的，这是对的。”他们就会开始有信心。现在他们知道，一定有些东西是对的，否则怎么会对别人产生影响？两个年轻的弟子在争论他们所尊敬的拉比老师谁更虔诚。“我的拉比，”第一个说，“他是如此地虔诚，以至于他受到了老天特别的眷顾。去年春天有一次，全城都在下雨，但我老师的头顶有一方圣地不仅没有下雨，还有一束光洒下来照耀着他。”“为什么这么说？”第一个舌头打颤地回怼，“你的拉比缺少了基本的虔诚，我的拉比是不可比拟的。比如，在去年的赎罪日——一年中最神圣的日子，禁食斋戒是基本义务——而我看到你的拉比却在吃鸡肉汉堡。”“这倒是的，”第二个带着胜利者的姿态说，“全城都下雨那天是赎罪日，光环照在我老师头顶那天是赎罪日的第二天。”人们为了捍卫自己不择手段。他们继续相信，因为如果那个信仰被打破了，他们就会掉进深不见底的深渊。但那个无底的深渊才是真实的。一旦你接受它，所有的恐惧都消失了。一旦你接受生命是一个无法解决的奥秘，一旦你接受生命的本质就是不可知，所有的恐惧都消失了。所有想要知道的努力，所有公式化的教义都停止了。突然间你会再次成为实相的一部分，分裂不复存在。追寻与所寻为一，思者与所思为一，观察者与被观察者为一，见者与所见为一。突然间，分裂不复存在，分裂就是你们的教义制造出来的。Intelligence is not intellect. Intellect is accumulated knowledge. Intelligence is your freshness of being, the virginity of your being, the innocence of your being.An intelligent person is one who faces life without words; who comes to life naked of all beliefs; who comes to life without any scriptures; who looks at life direct and immediate, with no clouds in his mind. He has nothing to prove. He has not decided anything beforehand. He has no fixed ideas.And then he is never frustrated. He simply is open, vulnerable, and the reality penetrates him from every nook and corner, from every cell of his being. He becomes like a sponge: he is soaked with reality.Be a fresh sponge – totally empty – so that you can soak the whole of the reality that there is. This is what meditation is all about.Meditation means dropping the mind, dropping metaphysics, dropping doctrines about reality so that reality itself can penetrate you and enter you.Once you become addicted with a doctrine, then it is intellect that functions, not intelligence. An intelligent person is always free; intellect is never free. Intellect always tries to be consistent with the past. Intelligence always tries to respond with the present. An intellectual will be consistent.An intelligent person will be very paradoxical. An intellectual will be logical, in fact too logical –hair-splitting, logic-chopping. An intelligent man is not logical; he is simply real – and reality is paradoxical. He has no fixed ideas to force on reality. He has no fixed modes to force on reality. He is flexible, fluid, like water. He is ready to move with the reality. Whatsoever shape the reality gives to him, he is available. He never says no.Remember this. An intellectual always remains with the no. An intelligent person lives with the yes.He says yes to reality, whatsoever it is. He has no fight. He has nothing to grind against reality. He is part of it.To be intelligent is totally different from being intellectual. To be intellectual is just trying, pretending,that you are intelligent. It is a false substitute. And once you become intellectual, you will become egoistic. Once you become egoistic, you are closed.If you are an intellectual and trying to solve reality, and carrying some doctrines within you according to which you hope that you will be able to find the key and open the lock of reality, that key will be the very barrier – because the lock has never been locked. The doors are open.You must have heard about Houdini, the magician, who used to get out of all sorts of locks, chains,prison-cells, within minutes – at the most, three minutes. But once, only once in his life, was he deceived.In Italy he was exhibiting his talents, and he could not get out for one hour. People who had come to watch became worried – it had never been so. Within three minutes, sometimes even within seconds, he always was out. What had happened? And when he came out after one hour, he was perspiring, completely tired. He looked weird.They asked, ’What happened?’He said, ’The people befooled me. They had not locked the door. The door was open, and I was trying to find the key. There was no lock, just a hole, and in that hole I was trying to open the lock,the non-existential lock.’Of course, if there is no lock you cannot open it. He became more and more worried, and he could not imagine that they may have played a trick and the door was not locked. It was a simple hole;there was no lock in it, so no key would fit.Jesus says, ’Knock, and the door shall be opened unto you.’The basic meaning is, ’Knock, and you will find the doors are always open. They have always remained open.’Intellect tries to create keys – because of your keys, you go on missing. And once you have a key...of course, it looks like a key – it is not a key because it never fits, and it cannot fit because there is no lock, but it looks like a key... once you have a key, you go on defending it. It becomes a blanket,a rag-doll.Hindus go on defending their religion. They are not so worried about using it; they go on defending it. Mohammedans go on defending their religion. Christians go on producing rubbish literature. I have never come across more rubbishy literature than christian literature – just simple rot. But they go on producing – in defence. They have to argue. They have never used what they are saying, the key has never been helpful to themselves, but they are defending.And people find outlandish ways to defend their keys and their doctrines. Their whole energy becomes blocked in a futile effort. Have you watched? If you don’t have any doctrine, you can enjoy; it is very funny when people start rationalizing and defending their doctrines.Many times it happens... they come to me. A christian missionary came a few years ago and he started talking about his theology. For half an hour I listened to him, and then I asked him, ’Just one thing I want to ask – has it helped you? Because you look almost crazy. You must have come across jehovah’s witnesses and other crazy people.... ’But he wouldn’t listen; as-if he was not there.Again, after one hour had passed, I said, ’Just wait a minute. What are you talking about? Has it helped you?’He confessed that it had not helped him, but he hoped it would help. I told him, ’Something has helped me – are you ready to listen to it?’He said, ’I will come some other time.’ He never came.People cling to their beliefs desperately. They are not convincing others; in fact, in convincing others,they are convincing themselves. Alone, left to themselves, they become afraid. ’Who knows whether what I am believing is true or not?’ When they convince others, and somebody says, ’Yes, it is right,’they become confident. Now they know that they must have something true; otherwise how are other people impressed?Two young disciples were disputing the comparative piety of their respective rabbinical teachers.’My rabbi,’ said the first, ’is so holy that he receives the special attention of the good lord. One time last spring when it was raining all over the city, there was a little circle around my rabbi’s head where no rain fell and where, instead, beams of sunlight shone down to illuminate him.’’Just the same,’ said the second, ’my rabbi is much more pious.’’How can you say that?’ said the first in shocked tones. ’Your rabbi lacks the very basic elements of piety. My rabbi is incomparable. Why, on last Yom Kippur – the holiest day of the year, when fasting is obligatory – I saw your rabbi eating a chicken sandwich.’’Exactly,’ said the second in triumph. ’While all over the city it was Yom Kippur, in a little circle around my rabbi’s head, it was the day after Yom Kippur.”’People go to absurd lengths to defend themselves. They go on believing in something, because if that belief is broken, they will be falling into a bottomless abyss.But that bottomless abyss is real. Once you accept it, all fear disappears. Once you accept that life is a mystery and cannot be solved, once you accept that life basically is unknowable, all fear disappears, and all efforts to know, and all efforts to formulate doctrines, stop.Suddenly you are again part of reality; the division is no more there. The seeker and the sought are one. The thinker and the thought are one. The observer and the observed are one. The seer and the seen are one. Suddenly the division is no more there. The division is created by your doctrines.感谢译者
