Amayi ndi Anzanu

Tingafotokoze bwanji zomwe takhala tili mu thupi lathu lomaliza? adafunsa mlendo usiku wina pambuyo pa phunziro.

Njira yokhayo yolankhulira ndi kudziwa bwino monga momwe takhala kale. Chiphunzitso chomwe chidziwitso ichi chimabwera ndi kukumbukira, zapamwamba. Ngati palibe chomwecho, aliyense akhoza kupanga zowerengera zomwe adaliko kale ndi zomwe akuzikonda tsopano. Ndizomveka kunena kuti, ngati tili ndi chisankho pa nkhaniyi, sitingasankhe ngati mkhalidwe kapena malo omwe tidzakhala nawo, monga osasinthidwa ku zokonda zathu kapena kupita patsogolo, ndipo tilibe chisankho, ndiye, lamulo lomwe limalamulira kubwezeretsedwa sikungatipangitse kuti tisagwirizane ndi chitukuko.

Timamverera mwachifundo kapena timatsutsana ndi zifukwa zina, zilembo, magulu a anthu, mitundu ya anthu, zamisiri, ntchito, luso ndi ntchito, ndipo izi zikhoza kusonyeza ngati tachita kale kapena kutsutsa izi. Ngati tikumva kuti tili pakhomo kapena osakhala bwino pamtundu wabwino kapena woipa, izi zidzasonyeza zomwe tidazizoloŵera kale. Kupondaponda, kuzoloŵera kudziwoneka mopanda kanthu pamsewu wakale kapena pamsewu wamtunda wakudziko, sakanakhala womasuka mu gulu labwino, labotale ya zamagetsi, kapena pa rostrum. Ngakhalenso munthu amene anali munthu wolimbikira ntchito, wokhazikika kapena wodzikonda, amamva bwino komanso amatha kudziwotha, osasamba, atavala zovala.

Tingakhale molondola molondola zomwe tinali nazo m'moyo wakale osati ndi chuma kapena udindo panopa, koma zomwe zikhumbo zathu, zolinga zathu, zomwe timakonda, zosakondweretsa, zokhumba zokhumba, zimatifikitsa pakalipano.

Kodi tinganene kuti ndi nthawi zingati zomwe tinabadwa kale?

Thupi limabadwa ndipo thupi limamwalira. Moyo subadwanso kapena kufa, koma umalowa m'thupi lomwe labadwira ndikusiya thupi pa imfa ya thupi.

Kuti mudziwe miyoyo yambiri yomwe anthu akhala akugwiritsira ntchito pano, yang'anani pa mitundu yosiyanasiyana yomwe ilipo tsopano. Taganizirani za kukula kwa umunthu, maganizo ndi zauzimu za Mnyanja wa ku Africa, kapena South Sea; ndiyeno a Newton, Shakespeare, Plato, Buddha, kapena Khristu. Pakati pazinthu zozizwitsazi, ganizirani zosiyana siyana za chitukuko chomwe anthu amapereka. Pambuyo pa izi, funsani kuti "Ine" ndiyime pakati pazinthu zonyansazi.

Pambuyo pa avereji ya udindo onani kuchuluka kwa “ine” ndaphunzira kuchokera ku zokumana nazo za moyo wamakono—munthu wamba amaphunzira pang’ono chabe—ndipo “ine” ndi motani? chitani zomwe "ine" ndaphunzira. Pambuyo pa funso lochititsa chidwi limeneli, mwinamwake tingapange lingaliro lina la chiŵerengero cha nthaŵi zimene kuyenera kukhala kunali kofunika kukhala ndi moyo kuti tifikire ngakhale mkhalidwe wamakonowo.

Palibe njira yoti munthu mmodzi adziwe kangati wakhalapo kale koma ndidzidziwitso komanso kudzipitirizabe kumvetsa. Ngati adauzidwa kuti amakhala moyo kawiri kapena makumi asanu mphambu zikwi makumi asanu (1000) nthawiyi, zomwe zimapindulitsa sizingamupindulitse, koma sangathe kuzizindikiritsa kupatula pa chidziwitso chomwe chimachokera pa moyo wake. Koma mwa fanizo lomwe tapatsidwa tingathe kupanga lingaliro la mamiliyoni a zaka zomwe ife tiyenera kuti tifikira kuti tifike kudziko lino.

Kodi timadziwa pakati pa kubwezeretsedwa kwathu?

Ife ndife. Ife sitidziwa mofanana momwe ife tiriri mu moyo mu thupi. Dzikoli ndilo gawo lachitapo. Mmenemo munthu amakhala ndi kusuntha ndikuganiza. Munthu ndi wopangidwa kapena wopangidwa ndi amuna asanu ndi awiri kapena mfundo. Pakufa gawo laumulungu la munthu limadzipatula ku gawo lapadera, ndipo mfundo zaumulungu kapena amuna ndiye amakhala mu chikhalidwe kapena chikhalidwe chomwe chadziwika ndi malingaliro ndi zochita kupyolera mu moyo wonse. Mfundo zaumulungu izi ndizo malingaliro, moyo, ndi mzimu, zomwe, pamodzi ndi zilakolako zapamwamba, zimadutsa mkhalidwe wabwino umene moyo wapadziko lapansi watsimikiza. Matendawa sangakhale apamwamba kusiyana ndi malingaliro kapena zolinga pamoyo. Pamene mfundo izi zimachotsedwa ku gawo lopanda pake iwo sadziŵa zoipa za moyo. Koma iwo amadziwa, ndipo amakhala ndi zolinga zomwe zapangidwa pamene moyo watha. Iyi ndi nthawi yopumula, yomwe ndi yofunika kuti moyo ukhale ngati mpumulo usiku ndikofunikira kuti zigwirizane ndi thupi ndi malingaliro pa ntchito ya tsiku lotsatira.

Pa imfa, kulekanitsidwa kwaumulungu ndi mfundo zakufa kumapangitsa chisangalalo cha moyo kuchoka ku zolinga kuti chidziwike. Izi ndizidziwikiratu pakati pa kubwerera m'mbuyo.

Kodi maganizo a afilosofi a chibadwidwe cha Adamu ndi Hava ndi chiyani?

Nthawi iliyonse pamene funsoli lafunsidwa ndi aosophist ilo lachititsa kusekerera, pakuti ngakhale lingaliro la Adamu ndi Hava pokhala anthu awiri oyamba omwe anakhala m'dziko lino lasonyezedwa ndi zopanda pake ndi kufufuza kwasayansi zamakono, komabe funsoli ndithu nthawi zambiri zimabwera.

Munthu wodziwa bwino nthawi yomweyo adzanena kuti chisinthiko chimasonyeza kuti nkhaniyi ndi nthano. Theosophist akugwirizana ndi izi, koma kunena kuti mbiri yakale ya mtundu wa anthu yasungidwa mu nthano iyi kapena fable. Chiphunzitso Chobisika chikuwonetsa kuti banja laumunthu mdziko lawo loyambirira ndi loyambirira silinali momwe iwo aliri tsopano, lopangidwa ndi amuna ndi akazi, koma kuti kwenikweni panalibe kugonana. Pang'ono pang'onopang'ono pa chitukuko cha chilengedwe ndi kugonana kwachiwiri kapena hermaphroditism, chinapangidwa mwa munthu aliyense. Zomwe zidakalipo kenako zinayambitsidwa ndi kugonana, kumene anthu panopa amagawanika.

Adamu ndi Hava samatanthauza mwamuna mmodzi ndi mkazi mmodzi, koma umunthu wonse. Iwe ndi ine takhala Adamu ndi Eva. Kubadwanso kwatsopano kwa Adamu ndi Eva ndiko kubadwanso kwa thupi laumunthu m'matupi osiyanasiyana, m'mayiko ambiri, komanso kudzera m'mitundu yambiri.

Kodi kutalika kwa nthawi yomwe yaikidwa pakati pa kubadwanso, ngati pali nthawi yeniyeni yeniyeni?

Zanenedwa kuti nthawi yomwe imakhala mkati mwa thupi, kapena kuyambira nthawi ya imfa ya thupi limodzi mpaka moyo ukakhala mmalo mwake womwe umabadwa mu dziko, ili pafupi zaka fifitini handiredi. Koma izi sizikugwiranso ntchito kwa anthu onse, makamaka osati kwa munthu wamakono wamakono wamadzulo.

Munthu wabwino amene amayembekeza kumwamba, amene amachita ntchito zabwino padziko lino lapansi ndipo ali ndi zolinga komanso malingaliro omveka bwino, amene amayembekeza kwamuyaya kumwamba, akhoza kukhala ndi nthawi yaitali kumwamba, koma ndizotheka kunena kuti osati munthu wamba lerolino.

Moyo mu dziko lino ndi munda wa ntchito yomwe mbewu zimabzalidwa. Kumwamba ndi mkhalidwe kapena mpumulo pamene malingaliro amachokera kuntchito yake ndipo amagwira ntchito mmoyo kuti ikhozenso kachiwiri. Nthawi yomwe malingaliro amachokera mmbuyo zimadalira zomwe zachita m'moyo ndi kumene zaika maganizo ake, kulikonse kumene lingaliro kapena zolinga ziri pamalo omwe malingaliro angapite. Nthawi siyiyenera kuyesedwa ndi zaka zathu, koma m'malo mwa malingaliro a chisangalalo mu ntchito kapena kupuma. Kamphindi pa nthawi imodzi ikuwoneka kukhala yamuyaya. Mphindi wina umakhala ngati kuwala. Choncho, nthawi yathu yowonjezera, siyi masiku ndi zaka zomwe zimabwera komanso zimapita, komabe pamatha kupanga masiku awa kapena zaka.

Nthawi imayikidwa kuti tikakhale kumwamba pakati pa kubadwanso kwatsopano. Aliyense amadziika yekha. Munthu aliyense amakhala moyo wake. Chifukwa chakuti aliyense amasiyana mofotokozera kuchokera pazinthu zina palibe ndemanga yeniyeni yokhudzana ndi nthawi yomwe ingapangidwe yina koma kuti aliyense amadzipangitsa nthawi yake mwiniyo ndi maganizo ake ndi zochita zake, ndipo ndizitali kapena zochepa pamene akuzipanga. N'zotheka kuti munthu abwererenso m'miyezi yosachepera chaka, ngakhale izi si zachilendo, kapena kuwonjezera nthawi kwa zaka zikwi.

Kodi timasintha umunthu wathu pamene tibwerera kudziko lapansi?

Timachita mofananamo kuti tisinthe zovala zogwiritsira ntchito pokhapokha atagwiritsira ntchito cholinga chake ndipo sichifunikanso. Makhalidwewa ali ndi mfundo zoyamba kuphatikizidwa kukhala maonekedwe, otetezedwa ndi mfundo ya moyo, yolangizidwa ndikulimbikitsidwa ndi chikhumbo, ndi magawo apansi a malingaliro omwe amachita mmenemo kudzera mu mphamvu zisanu. Ichi ndicho kugwirizana komwe timatcha umunthu. Icho chiripo kokha kwa nthawi ya zaka kuyambira kubadwa mpaka kufa; Kutumikira monga chida ndi momwe lingaliro limagwirira ntchito, limagwirizana ndi dziko lapansi, ndikumakhala ndi moyo mmenemo. Pa imfa, umunthu uwu umayikidwa kumbali ndi kubwerera ku ziwalo zamatsenga za padziko lapansi, madzi, mpweya, ndi moto, zomwe zimachokera ndi kuziphatikiza. Maganizo aumunthu amatha kupita kumalo ake opumula pambuyo pa chisangalalo chimene chimamangirira ndikulowa umunthu wina kuti apitilize maphunziro ndi zochitika padziko lapansi.
