The Vndist Sadhana of Dodge'em

[Guest guest]

Glo writes of Tony: "This dodge'em routine is getting old."

GETTING OLD??? I persist in believing, Glo, that you're the most

patient and well balanced contributor to this satsangh, nonpareil.

For all the rest of us Tony's "dodge'em routine" is antidiluvian

Maya itself. When Nirguna decided to flash forth("Sphuratta")in

her/his full Saguna Drag, at that exact timeless Me-ment Tony began

unreeling his primordial Nirguna argument, beginning the otherwise

beginningless proof that the Nirguna is the Saguna, etc...

Maya to some. Tony to us.

It's even been revealed to me in formless meditation that just as the

Witness position can be taken vis-a-vis Maya in order to re-discover

the original nondual reality, one can take the Witness position in

regards to Tony's endless Nirguna argument. Holding to a position of

noninvolvment one attempts to bring oneself back to the original Self

position of Non-Annoyance. If and When this is finally achieved, one

finds that one was never in fact born, and everything including the

self is but an illusion and never existed (and was never Annoyed). Of

course, this sadhana, (of achieving the Self through Non Annoyance

with Tony's Nirguna Natterings) has so far failed to achieve

fulfillment in anyone's individual practice, and we are continually

tempted, as Glo shows us once again, to fall back into the position

of relative or Saguna Annoyance, occasionally even going so far as to

mindlessly be sucked back into the illusion of an answer, quip, or

retort in order to relieve the endless samsaric pressure of Vndist

Nirguna Dodge'em.

In actual fact, this is a sadhana that all of us on this list are

performing in each moment, but only those who have realized the Self

know it, and those who know, not surprisingly, don't say.

Until then, we practice the no-mind of Non-Annoyance in calm abidance

until the Dodge'em of Saguna reveals itself as ever present

No-Dodge'em of Nirguna.
