A fool is one who goes on trusting; a fool is one who goes on trusting against a

ll his experience. You deceive him, and he trusts you; and you deceive him again
, and he trusts you; and you deceive him again, and he trusts you. Then you will
say that he is a fool, he does not learn. His trust is tremendous; his trust is
so pure that nobody can corrupt it.
Be a fool in the Taoist sense, in the Zen sense. Don?t try to create a wall of k
nowledge around you. Whatsoever experience comes to you, let it happen, and then
go on dropping it. Go on cleaning your mind continuously; go on dying to the pa
st so you remain in the present, herenow, as if just born, just a babe.
In the beginning it is going to be very difficult. The world will start taking a
dvantage of you...let them. They are poor fellows. Even if you are cheated and d
eceived and robbed, let it happen, because that which is really yours cannot be
robbed from you, that which is really yours nobody can steal from you.
And each time you don?t allow situations to corrupt you, that opportunity will b
ecome an integration inside. Your soul will become more crystallized.
Osho Dang Dang Doko Dang Chapter 2
Commentary:
Moment to moment, and with every step, the Fool leaves the past behind. He carri
es nothing more than his purity, innocence and trust, symbolized by the white ro
se in his hand. The pattern on his waistcoat contains the colors of all four ele
ments of the tarot, indicating that he is in harmony with all that surrounds him
. His intuition is functioning at its peak. At this moment the Fool has the supp
ort of the universe to make this jump into the unknown. Adventures await him in
the river of life.
The card indicates that if you trust your intuition right now, your feeling of t
he 'rightness' of things, you cannot go wrong. Your actions may appear 'foolish'
to others, or even to yourself, if you try to analyze them with the rational mi
nd. But the 'zero' place occupied by the Fool is the numberless number where tru
st and innocence are the guides, not skepticism and past experience.
