Guest guest Posted February 16, 2001 Report Share Posted February 16, 2001 A deep sea fish isn't aware that it is surrounded by water, that its body is mainly consisting of water, unless it dreams to be out of the water and suffocating... And when it wakes up, what can it tell? That there is only water - but who would see? Or that it has been dreaming to be out of the water? When the dream becomes such a nightmare as to be suffocating, waking up is spontaneous When the dream becomes lucid the sudden clarity it wasn't dreaming at all, and there only is water Those tragedies of renouncing the "dream" and then discovering there wasn't one... The mercy, not to discover that at the end of a lifetime¹... Instead of renouncing the "dream" Renounce the foolish notions about dream, dreamer and dreaming... And live happily like that deep sea fish, knowing there is no dream, only water...

Paths, places, sights, perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self.
