Guest guest Posted April 17, 2001 Report Share Posted April 17, 2001 To Truly See means To Totally Be! Differentiation implies being far sighted. Interpretation implies being near sighted. Both depend on each other, are relative, and indicate the suffering of illusory knowledge. To wish for freedom and to work for freedom assumes the existence of bondage. Great masters ask you to question that assumption. Being Is Freedom. Look here and understand! Desire is desire, love is love, hatred is hatred, anger is anger, sadness is sadness, rage is rage, and bliss is bliss. What of it? There is no mystery here. If you truly accept the totality of what is, then where is the need to improve yourself? But you should improve yourself, if you feel you have to. Don't go against your natural feeling. It just creates additional conflicts. In the long run, forget about overcoming conditioning. That itself is another type of conditioning. Just layers upon layers upon layers of conditioning constitute our identity. You may as well become an enormous and huge Chocolate Cake at a wedding! You will have fewer layers to contend with and you will taste better to your friends! There is no end to this nonsense about self-improvement and if you have the energy to pursue, it will continue in one form or another. Forget permanent and impermanent. Forget freedom and bondage. Forget Samsara and Moksha. Remain as you are. That is actually the only thing anyone can do really well! If you know in your bones that there is absolutely nothing you can do, you will See that there is absolutely nothing you need to do! To See Is To Be. To Be is to See. These are Not Two! If you love Truth enough, you will see that You Are the Truth! You and Truth. These are not Two! If you Love Truth enough, you will see that You Are Love! You and Love. These are not Two! Keep it in sight You will be all right! Seeing Me, Seeing You! Be Seeing You (:-). Lots of love Harsha He who realizes the nature of his own mind knows That the mind itself is Wisdom-Awareness, And no longer makes the mistake of searching for Buddha from other sources. In fact, Buddha cannot be found by searching, So contemplate your own mind. This is the highest teaching one can practice; This very mind is the Tathagatagarbha. Buddha nature, the womb of the Buddhas." Milarepa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
