Commitment and Relinquishment are One

[Guest guest]

Wim:

(snip)

The statement of commitment does mean something to you, does it not?

It

is not an empty statement! Is it? I didn't think so! Right,

excellent!

Now, stick with it, stay with it, stay consistent as you apply that

commitment to this moment, here, right now.

Do not drop it!

Dan:

Yes.

And if the commitment is total,

it is no longer a commitment.

There is no longer one separate

to be committed to something.

So -- total commitment is

simultaneously total relinquishment.

Giving up all commitments, particularly

the commitment to remaining

"my consistent separate self" ...

Love,

Dan

All paths go

somewhere. No path goes nowhere. 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.
