Laughter and Light-Heartedness

[Guest guest]

We think that there is something hiding our

reality and that it must be destroyed before the

reality is gained. It is ridiculous. A day will dawn

when you will yourself laugh at your past efforts.

That which will be on the day you laugh is also

here and now.

 

- Sri Ramana Maharshi

 

 

Man oh man brothers and sisters,

the Mirthful One Yips like a divine coyote

baying at the moon of Self rising

and lighting up

everything

everywhere

and it was never so funny,

it was never so hilarious

as it is this moment.

 

We've been laughing and stumbling around

these streets for three months

in three hundred lifetimes

in three seconds

in the trinity concept

of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.

Or God the Father,

the Son

and the Holy Ghost.

Being emboldened by Love

we've thrown them across the space

it takes to enter in

the Horizon

of pre-existence.

 

Pretty funny, eh?

 

 

"In this state there is no Shiva,

nor any holy union.

 

Only a somewhat something moving

dreamlike on a fading road."

 

- Lalla

 

 

Whatever it is,

it just keeps on going.

Han Shan wandered all over China looking for it.

He was It looking for itSelf.

Han Shan was about one foot

(if we're still talking in the time rhyme)

one foot from stepping into the Void.

God that looks so funny in print.

Say that at a non-dual party

and see how far it gets you!

 

All this night waltzing with

the likes of Wu Wei Wu,

Ramana and Nityananda too,

well it simply cracks us up so much

we can't stop crying

between bhakti bhajans

and standing timelessly

in transmissions given

by the jnanis wandering around with us.

 

What're ya gonna do?

 

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

 

Somehow,

Lovers are absolved

from doing anything.

They're so done up in jnani originals

they can't tell where bhakti begins

and jnani ends.

 

Here's the real deal:

 

It never fucking ends.

 

"Deham - The body

 

Naham - I am not

 

Koham - Who am I?

 

Soham - I am He"

 

~Sri Ramana Maharshi

 

 

The essential purpose of the Vedas

is to teach you the nature of

the Imperishable Self.

 

Ah...

 

Supreme Consciousness!

 

Thou art That!

 

Having discussed this stuff in-depth

with my Darling today,

having sat in satsang with Adyashanti today,

having been aware of the Presence

of Sri Ramana and Nisargadatta Maharaj today,

i think it's safe to say this -

 

"I, the tiny bubble of laughter

have become the Sea of Mirth ItSelf."

 

~Sri Yoganandaji

 

 

LoveAlways,
