Stress and Tension
What Is Their Origin Source?
from the osho.com
The original source of all tension is becoming. One is always trying to
be something; no one is at ease with himself as he is. The being is not
accepted, the being is denied, and something else is taken as an ideal
to become. So the basic tension is always between that which you are
and that which you long to become.
You desire to become something. Tension means that you are not pleased
with what you are, and you long to be what you are not. Tension is
created between these two. What you desire to become is irrelevant. If
you want to become wealthy, famous, powerful, or even if you want to be
free, liberated, to be divine, immortal, even if you long for
salvation, moksha, then too the tension will be there.
Anything that is desired as something to be fulfilled in the future,
against you as you are, creates tension. The more impossible the ideal
is, the more tension there is bound to be. So a person who is a
materialist is ordinarily not so tense as one who is religious, because
the religious person is longing for the impossible, for the far-off.
The distance is so great that only a great tension can fill the gap.
Tension means a gap between what you are and what you want to be. If
the gap is great, the tension will be great. If the gap is small, the
tension will be small. And if there is no gap at all, it means you are
satisfied with what you are. In other words, you do not long to be
anything other than what you are. Then your mind exists in the moment.
There is nothing to be tense about; you are at ease with yourself. You
are in the Tao. To me, if there is no gap you are religious; you are in
the dharma.

堅持是為著某種目的或目標，而持續不斷朝向既定方向努力的一種意念。
