Clinging Quotes - Page 7

• NOSOTROS, dos muchachos juntos, uno sin separarse del otro, subiendo y bajando por los caminos, haciendo excursiones al norte y al sur, disfrutando del poder, estirando los codos, agarrando los dedos, armados y sin miedo, comiendo, bebiendo, durmiendo, amando. Ninguna ley menos que nosotros mismos poseyendo, navegando, soldando, robando, amenazando, avaros, sirvientes, sacerdotes alarmando, aire respirando, agua bebiendo, en el césped o en la playa bailando, ciudades arrancando, facilidad despreciando, estatutos burlándose, debilidad persiguiendo, cumpliendo nuestra incursión.

  Walt Whitman

  Playa, Beber, Dormir

• ...Dejamos nuestra patria, nuestra propiedad y nuestros amigos. Abandonamos el terreno familiar que sostiene nuestro ego, admitimos la impotencia del ego para controlar su mundo y asegurarse a sí mismo. Renunciamos a nuestro aferramiento a la superioridad y a la autoconservación... Significa renunciar a buscar un hogar, convertirse en un refugiado, en una persona solitaria que debe depender de sí misma... Fundamentalmente, nadie puede ayudarnos. Si buscamos aliviar nuestra soledad, nos distraeremos del camino. En lugar de eso, debemos establecer una relación con la soledad hasta que se convierta en soledad.

• There was a still life on Billy's bedside table-two pills, an ashtray with three lipstick-stained cigarettes in it, one cigarette still burning, and a glass of water. The water was dead. So it goes. Air was trying to get out of the dead water. Bubbles were clinging to the walls of the glass, too weak to climb out.

• Uno es seducido y maltratado a su vez. El resultado es presumiblemente sabiduría. ¡Sabiduría! Nos aferramos a la vida como lagartos. ¿Por qué es tan difícil reunir aquellas cosas que realmente importan en la vida y habitar sólo entre ellas? Me refiero a ciertos paisajes, personas, bestias, libros, habitaciones, condiciones meteorológicas, frutas. De hecho, insisto en ello. Una carta es como un poema, salta a la vida y muestra muy claramente las marcas, tal vez debería decir las huellas del pulgar, de un compositor involuntario o no preparado.

• October— You were sleeping so peacefully that I was loath to wake you. Duke Torquill, after demanding to know what I was doing in your apartment, has requested that I inform you of his intent to visit after ‘tending to some business at the Queen’s Court.’ I recommend wearing something clinging, as that may distract him from whatever he wishes to lecture you about this time. Hopefully, it’s your manners. You are truly endearing when you sleep. I attribute this to the exotic nature of seeing you in a state of silence. —Tybalt

• He said that hate makes the world go round People are afraid of what they really want They make enemies of all the things that they would like to be They condition themselves to not embrace what they are Love is a clinging nausea I tried to disagree with him It was no use I never saw a more honest look in anyone's eyes.

• El vals de mi padre: El whisky en tu aliento podría marear a un niño pequeño; Pero yo aguanté como la muerte: Ese vals no era fácil. Jugueteamos hasta que las cacerolas resbalaron del estante de la cocina; El semblante de mi madre no podía desencoger el ceño. La mano que me sujetaba la muñeca se golpeaba en un nudillo; a cada paso que dabas, mi oreja derecha se raspaba con una hebilla. Me golpeaste en la cabeza con la palma de la mano cubierta de suciedad, y luego me llevaste a la cama aferrada a tu camisa.

• To live a spiritual life we must first find the courage to enter into the desert of our loneliness and to change it by gentle and persistent efforts into a garden of solitude. The movement from loneliness to solitude, however, is the beginning of any spiritual life because it it is the movement from the restless senses to the restful spirit,l from the outward-reaching cravings to the inward-reaching search, from the fearful clinging to the fearless play.

  Henri Nouwen

• ...I would think how words go straight up in a thin line, quick and harmless, and how terribly doing goes along the earth, clinging to it, so that after a while the two lines are too far apart for the same person to straddle from one to the other; and that sin and love and fear are just sounds that people who never sinned nor loved nor feared have for what they never had and cannot have until they forget the words.

• As we walk our individual life journeys, we pick up resentments and hurts, which attach themselves to our souls like burrs clinging to a hiker's socks. These stowaways may seem insignificant at first, but, over time, if we do not occasionally stop and shake them free, the accumulation becomes a burden to our souls.

• La vida es un flujo, nada permanece. Aun así, somos tan tontos que seguimos aferrándonos. Si el cambio es la naturaleza de la vida, entonces aferrarse es una estupidez, porque tu aferramiento no va a cambiar la ley de la vida. Tu aferramiento sólo te hará miserable. Las cosas están destinadas a cambiar; no importa si te aferras o no. Si te aferras te vuelves miserable: te aferras y cambian, te sientes frustrado. Si no te aferras, siguen cambiando, pero entonces no hay frustración porque eras perfectamente consciente de que estaban destinadas a cambiar. Así son las cosas, así es la vida.

• See what your misery is, what desires are causing it, and why you are clinging to those desires. And it is not for the first time that you are clinging to those desires; this has been the pattern of your whole life and you have not arrived anywhere. You go on in circles, you never come to any real growth. You remain childish, stupid. And you are born with the intelligence that can make you a buddha, but it is lost in unnecessary things.

• Give up all forms of parrotry. Start practicing whatever you truly feel to be true and justly to be just. Do not make a show of your faith and beliefs. You have not to give up your religion, but to give up clinging to the husk of mere ritual and ceremony. To get to the fundamental core of Truth underlying all religions, reach beyond religion.

• In Tibetan, authentic presence is wangthang, which literally means, 'field of power'... The cause or the virtue that brings about authentic presence is emptying out and letting go. You have to be without clinging.

• Meditar significa liberarse constantemente del aferramiento de la mente.
  Al soltar incluso el pensamiento "yo" y "mí", ¿qué queda?
  No hay ningún lugar donde estar ni nadie donde estar.
  No hay separación en ninguna parte.
  Pura conciencia.
  Ni esto, ni aquello.
  Sólo claridad y ser.

• Once a man worries, he clings to anything out of desperation; and once he clings he is bound to get exhausted or to exhaust whomever or whatever he is clinging to. A warrior-hunter, on the other hand, knows he will lure game into his traps over and over again, so he doesn't worry.
