Przecież wiadomo, że nawet jakbyś zrozumiał.... Dziękować za taka przyjemność.

THE CAT-MONSTER
When Odawara Castle fell to the attackers in the Meio¯
period (the end of the fifteenth century), Akiko, who had
been a maid in the service of Mori Fujiyori, the lord of the
castle, escaped with a cat which had been her pet for years.
She took refuge in the villa of the painter Takuma at
Kinokubo by the Nameri River. She lived there some years,
and then the cat became a wild supernatural monster which
terrorized the people, finally even preying on infants in the
village.
The local officials joined with the people in attempts to
catch it, but with its strange powers of appearing and disappearing,
the swordsmen and archers could find nothing to
attack, and men and women went in dread day and night.
Then in December of the second year of Eisho¯ (1505),
priest Yakkoku went up on to the dais at Ho¯kokuji and drew
the picture of a cat, which he displayed to the congregation
with the words:
‘As I have drawn it, so I kill it with a Katzu!, that the fears
may be removed from the hearts of the people.’
He gave the shout, and tore to pieces the picture of the cat.
On that day a woodcutter in the valley near the Takuma
villa heard a terrible screech; he guided a company of archers
to the upper part of the valley, where they found the body of
the cat-monster, as big as a bear-cub, dead on a rock. The
people agreed that this had been the result of the master’s
Katzu!

What is my word, what is human wisdom
but a noise that reaches the outer ear?
But from that ear to the heart lies a road
that only God can travel.
Blessed the preacher
who does not put his trust
in the noise of his own words,
even though they come wrapped in great human wisdom.

Cytat:

Let them steal our material churches;
the church’s history is full of that.
That’s not why the church is on earth.
The church is something different, says Christ.
The church seeks adorers of God in Spirit and in truth,
and that can be done
under a tree, on a mountain, by the sea.33
Wherever there is a sincere heart that seeks God sincerely,
there is true religion.
This, my friends, scandalizes many
because many have wanted to tie the church
to these material things.
They call this prestige,
they call it faithfulness to their traditions.
But it can be a betrayal of the church’s truth.
God is Spirit
and does not need the powers and things of earth.
He seeks sincerity in the heart.

Cytat:

A church that doesn’t provoke any crises,
a gospel that doesn’t unsettle,
a word of God that doesn’t get under anyone’s skin,
a word of God that doesn’t touch the real sin
of the society in which it is being proclaimed –
what gospel is that?
Very nice, pious considerations
that don’t bother anyone,
that’s the way many would like preaching to be.
Those preachers who avoid every thorny matter
so as not to be harassed,
so as not to have conflicts and difficulties,
do not light up the world they live in.
They don’t have Peter’s courage, who told that crowd
where the bloodstained hands still were
that had killed Christ:
“You killed him!”37
Even though the charge could cost him his life as well,
he made it.
The gospel is courageous;
it’s the good news
of him who came to take away the world’s sins.

Cytat:

The Yezidis are a sect living in Transcaucasia, mainly in the regions near Mount Ararat. They are sometimes called devil-worshippers.
Many years after the incident just described, I made a special experimental verification of this phenomenon and found that, in fact, if a circle is drawn round a Yezidi, he cannot of his own volition escape from it. Within the circle he can move freely, and the larger the circle, the larger the space in which he can move, but get out of it he cannot. Some strange force, much more powerful than his normal strength, keeps him inside. I myself, although strong, could not pull a weak woman out of the circle; it needed yet another man as strong as I.
If a Yezidi is forcibly dragged out of a circle, he immediately falls into the state called catalepsy, from which he recovers the instant he is brought back inside. But if he is not brought back into the circle, he returns to a normal state, as we ascertained, only after either thirteen or twenty-one hours.
To bring him back to a normal state by any other means is impossible. At least my friends and I were not able to do so, in spite of the fact that we already possessed all the means known to contemporary hypnotic science for bringing people out of the cataleptic state. Only their priests could do so, by means of certain short incantations.

Cytat:

A certain man believed that the ordinary waking life, as people know it, could not possibly be complete. He sought the real Teacher of the Age. He read many books and joined many circles, and he heard the words and witnessed the deeds of one master after another. He carried out the commands and spiritual exercises which seemed to him to be most attractive.

He became elated with some of his experiences. At other times he was confused; and he had no idea at all of what his stage was, or where and when his search might end.

This man was reviewing his behavior one day when he suddenly found himself near the house of a certain sage of high repute. In the garden of that house, he encountered Khidr, the secret guide who shows the way to truth.

Khidr took hihm to a place where he saw people in great distress and woe, and he asked who they were. "We are those who did not follow real teachings, who were not true to our undertakings, who revered self-appointed teachers," they said.

Then the man was taken by Khidr to a place where everyone was attractive and full of joy. He asked who they were. "We are those who did not follow the real Signs of the Way," they said.

"But if you have ignored the Signs, how can you be happy?" asked the traveler.

"Because we chose happiness instead of Truth," said the people, "just as those who chose the self-appointed chose also misery."

"But is happiness not the ideal of man?" asked the man.

"The goal of man is Truth. Truth is more than happiness. The man who has Truth can have whatever mood he wishes, or none," they told him. "We have pretended that Truth is happiness, and happiness Truth, and people have believed us, therefore you, too, have until now imagined that happiness must be the same as Truth. But happiness makes you its prisoner, as does woe."

Then the man found himself back in the garden with Khidr beside him.

"I will grant you one desire," said Khidr.

"I wish to know why I have failed in my search and how I can succeed in it," said the man. "You have all but wasted your life," said Khidr, "because you have been a liar. Your lie has been in seeking personal gratification when you could have been seeking Truth."

"And yet I came to the point where I found you," said the man, " and that is something which happens to hardly anyone at all."

"And you met me," said Khidr, "because you had sufficient sincerity to desire Truth for its own sake, just for an instant. It was that sincerity, in that single instant, which made me answer your call."

Now the man felt an overwhelming desire to find Truth, even if he lost himself.

Khidr, however, was starting to walk away, and the man began to run after him.

"You may not follow me," said Khidr, "because I am returning to the ordinary world, the world of lies, for that is where I have to be, if I am to do my work."

And when the man looked around him again, he realized that he was no longer n the garden of the sage, but standing in the Land of Truth.
