Traveling -- accept and embrace the new
Life is a continuity always and always. There is no final destination it is going towards. Just the pilgrimage, just the journey in itself is life, not reaching to some point, no goal--just dancing and being in pilgrimage, moving joyously, without bothering about any destination. What will you do by getting to a destination? Nobody has asked this, because everybody is trying to have some destination in life. But the implications... If you really reach the destination of life, then what? Then you will look very embarrassed. Nowhere to go...you have reached to the final destination--and in the journey you have lost everything. You had to lose everything. So standing naked at the final destination, you will look all around like an idiot: what was the point? You were hurrying so hard, and you were worrying so hard, and this is the outcome.
Osho Rinzai: Master of the Irrational Chapter 7
Commentary:
The tiny figure moving on the path through this beautiful landscape is not concerned about the goal. He or she knows that the journey is the goal, the pilgrimage itself is the sacred place. Each step on the path is important in itself. When this card appears in a reading, it indicates a time of movement and change. It may be a physical movement from one place to the next, or an inner movement from one way of being to another. But whatever the case, this card promises that the going will be easy and will bring a sense of adventure and growth; there is no need to struggle or plan too much. The Traveling card also reminds us to accept and embrace the new, just as when we travel to another country with a different culture and environment than the one we are accustomed to. This attitude of openness and acceptance invites new friends and experiences into our lives.
生命永遠永遠都在持續當中,它一直向前行,那裡並沒有最終的目的。這就是人生旅程,旅途本身就是生命,沒有要到達某一點,沒有目標,只是跳舞,並停留在旅途之中,高高興興地走,不要去擔心任何目的地。到達一個目的地要做什麼?沒有人去問這個問題,因為每一個人都試圖在生命中定下某一個目標,但是它所隱含的意義……
如果你真的達到了生命的目的地,接下來呢?你將會看起來很尷尬。無處可走了……你已經到達了最後的目的地,而在旅途當中,你已經失去了每一樣東西。你必須失去每一樣東西,因此,光著身子站在最後的目的地,你將會像白痴一樣,看著周遭,那個意義在那裡?你曾經辛苦趕路,你曾經非常操心,而這就是你的下場。
圖片中那個渺小的人走在這個漂亮風景的小路上,但是他並沒有去擔心目標。他或她知道說旅程就是目標,旅程本身就是聖地。他所走的每一步本身就是重要的。
當這張牌出現,它指示著一個移動和改變的時間,它或許是一個實質上的移動,從甲地到乙地,或是一個內在的移動,從一種方式的存在到另外一種方式的存在,不論是那一種情形,這張牌都表示說那個進行將會很容易,會帶來冒險和成長,不需要有太多的奮鬥或計畫。「旅行」這張牌同時提醒我們去接受和擁抱那個新的,就好像我們旅行到另外一個國家,那裡的文化和環境跟我們所熟悉的是不同的。這種敞開和接受的態度可以邀新的朋友和經驗到我們的生命中來。
