2
of a human being totally alive,
3
intensely alive, enjoying everything that life makes available,
4
and enjoying it with grace, gratitude, towards existence.
5
And that's what loving yourself means.
6
It means that you have thrown all garbage of religious rejection,
7
repression, you have dropped all the ideals that they have given to you,
8
that you are now standing on your own,
9
as if you are Adam and Eve.
10
So no priest has been there before,
11
no religion has been there before, uncorrupted, unspoiled, clean.
12
They start like Adam and Eve.
13
Just think of the idea.
14
Why bother about the past?
15
Forget about it.
16
You are the first man.
17
start living as if you don't know how to live.
18
Nobody is there to teach you.
19
No guidelines exist.
20
No books exist which say, how to do this, how to do that.
21
You are just left alone on an island, everything is available.
22
Intelligence is within you, instinct is within you,
23
intellect is within you, intuition is within you.
24
Now start moving.
25
Yes, perhaps you may commit few mistakes, there is no wrong in it.
26
That's how one learns.
27
Perhaps few times you may fall, nothing to be worried about it.
28
You can get up again.
29
And next time you will be walking more carefully, more alert.
30
So you have gained something out of that fall.
31
Out of each mistake, each error, you are constantly gaining something.
32
Errors are valuable.
33
However, mistakes are immensely necessary.
34
If you are somehow protected from committing mistakes and errors,
35
you will never grow, you will never learn a thing, you will never mature.
36
So behave as if you are the first here.
37
And the whole world is available to you to explore.
38
And in exploring it you will be surprised that simultaneously your inner world is being explored too.
39
because as you explore the outer world your insight becomes deeper,
40
your intelligence becomes sharper, your awareness becomes keener.
41
And a perfectly fulfilled man is one who explores both the outer and the inner.
42
and at the moment of death can have a smile on his face that he lived totally,
43
that he is happy that he lived totally,
44
that he burned his life candle from both ends together.
45
When you can burn your candle from both ends together, why be miserly and burn just one side?
46
When you can enjoy double light and two flames together, enjoy it.
47
because enjoyment is not simply enjoyment.
48
Every joy is growth and brings you closer to blissfulness, to ecstasy.
49
and unless you have attained to a state of ecstasy,
50
where you can say that I have arrived,
51
that I am fulfilled, that the purpose of existence in me is completed,
52
that if now death comes, it is welcome.
53
Now that is the only thing that I don't know.
54
A man who can say that that death now is the only thing that I don't know,
55
life I have known, will be enthusiastic about death,
56
will be eager to meet it, would like to have a plunge into it.
57
And this is the paradox of life.
58
One who is ready to die never dies.
59
One who is himself ready to jump into death, for him death disappears.
60
death is only for cowards, death is only for those who have not lived,
61
who have really remained dead their whole life.
62
Death is not for the living.
63
The more living you are, the farther away is the death.
64
If you are totally living, there is no death.
65
Death exists not.
66
Then there is only life, life eternal.

什么是跟读法?
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
