身体需要被爱，你需要当一个伟大的朋友

身体需要被爱——你需要当一个伟大的朋友。这是你的家，你需要清理掉它里面所有的垃圾，你需要记住，它一直在服侍你，不分昼夜。

即便你睡着的时候，你的身体也在持续的为你工作，消化，把养分输送到血液里，把死去的细胞排除体外，把新鲜的氧气带进身体——而你在睡大觉！

它在为你的生存，为你的生命做一切事情，尽管你是如此的不感恩，你从未感谢过你的身体。

相反，你们的各种宗教一直都在教导你折磨它：身体是你的敌人，你需要从身体里、从它的执着里解脱出来。我也知道你不只是身体，没有必要有任何的执着。

对你的身体及其滋养来说，爱与慈悲是绝对必须的。你的身体越好，你意识的成长就越有可能。它是一个有机的整体。

这个世界需要一种全新的教育，从根本上，教导每个人心灵的宁静——换句话说就是静心——每个人都要准备好，对自己的身体慈悲。

因为除非你对自己的身体慈悲，否则你无法对任何其他的身体慈悲。它是一个活生生的有机体，它从来没有伤害过你。从你受孕开始它就一直在服侍你，它也会继续服侍你直到你死。它会做任何你想做的一切，即便那些不可能的，它也不会不服从你。

要创造出这样如此听话、如此智慧的机器，是难以置信的。如果你觉察到你身体所有的功能，你会感到惊讶。

你从来没有想过你的身体一直在做什么。它是如此的不可思议，如此的神秘。但是你从来没有去看，你从来不曾操心去熟悉你自己的身体，而你假装爱别人。你没办法，因为其他的人也都是以身体的形式呈现在你面前。

在整个存在里，身体是最最奥秘的。这份奥秘需要被爱——它的奥秘，它的功能需要你去密切的探究。

The body has to be loved - you have to be agreat friend. It is your home, you have to clean it of all junk, and you haveto remember that it is in your service continuously, day in, day out. Even whenyou are asleep, your body is continuously working for you digesting, changingyour food into blood, taking out the dead cells from the body, bringing newoxygen, fresh oxygen into the body - and you are fast asleep!

It is doing everything for your survival,for your life, although you are so ungrateful that you have never even thankedyour body. On the contrary, your religions have been teaching you to tortureit: the body is your enemy and you have to get free from the body, itsattachments. I also know that you are more than the body and there is no needto have any attachment. But love is not an attachment, compassion is not anattachment. Love and compassion are absolutely needed for your body and itsnourishment. And the better body you have, the more is the possibility forgrowing consciousness. It is an organic unity.

Anubuddha, a totally new kind of educationis needed in the world where fundamentally everybody is introduced in to thesilences of the heart - in other words into meditations - where everybody hasto be prepared to be compassionate to one's own body. Because unless you arecompassionate to your own body, you cannot be compassionate to any other body.It is a living organism, and it has done no harm to you. It has beencontinuously in service since you were conceived and will be till your death.It will do everything that you would like to do, even the impossible, and itwill not be disobedient to you.

It is inconceivable to create such amechanism which is so obedient and so wise. If you become aware of all thefunctions of your body, your will be surprised. You have never thought whatyour body has been doing. It is so miraculous, so mysterious. But you havenever looked into it. You have never bothered to be acquainted with your ownbody and you pretend to, love other people. You cannot, because those otherpeople also appear to you as bodies.

The body is the greatest mystery in thewhole of existence. This mystery needs to be loved - its mysteries, itsfunctionings to be intimately inquired into.
