THE ZEN RABBI-RABBI din KOTZK

The Messiah sits at the gate to Jerusalem and awaits people worthy of redemption. He is fettered, and he needs whole people to untie his chains. He has had more than his fill of pious adherents; now he is fervently seeking men of truth.

Messiah sta la poarta Ierusalimului si asteapta oameni vrednici de rascumparare. El este inlantuit si are nevoie de oameni intregi pentru a-l dezlega de lanturile sale. Are mai mult decit ii trebuie aderenti piosi; acum el cauta fervent oamenii adevarului.

Do not be satisfied with the speech of your lips and the thought in your heart, all the promises and good sayings in your mouth, and all the good thoughts in your heart; rather you must arise and do!

Nu fi satisfacut cu vorbirea buzelor tale si cu gindirea inimii, cu toate promisiunile si zicerile de bine ale gurii tale sau cu gindurile bune venite din inima; mai degraba ridica-te si fa (actioneaza)!

People are accustomed to look at the heavens and to wonder what happens there. It would be better if they would look within themselves, to see what happens there.

Oamenii sint obisnuiti sa se uite la ceruri si sa se minuneze de ceea ce se intimpla acolo. Ar fi mai bine sa se uite in interiorul lor ca sa vada ce se petrece acolo!

Where is God to be found? In the place where He is given entry.

Unde se gaseste Dumnezeu? In locul in care ii este permisa intrarea.
