Guest guest Posted November 16, 2002 Report Share Posted November 16, 2002 The desolation of winter;passing through a small hamlet,a dog barks. ~Shiki When the mirror of my consciousness became clear,I saw that my family and others I love are the same as me.The "you" and "I" thoughtdoes not occur.The entire world is God.~Lalla Evening snow falling,a pair of mandarin duckson an ancient lake. ~Shiki The peacock¹s plumage is his enemy.Many a king has been slain by his magnificence.~Rumi I came to this birth and rebirth universeand found the self-lighting light.If someone dies, it's nothing to me,and if I die, it's nothing to anyone.It's good to die,and good to live long.~Lalla mountain temple--the butterfly sipsBuddha's tea water ~Issa with advancing autumn I am without gods without Buddha ~Shiki You are the space which never movesand never travels. Inner and outer spaceis due only to name and form. Remove thisform from mind by removing attachmentto any object, thought, or action.~Papaji seaside temple--the room in the mistgrows faint ~Issa the bright moon something in my breast I am alone ~ Shiki Real bliss is the absence of the wanting ofbliss. The enlightenment state is not wantingeither bliss or anything else.~Ramesh S. Balsekar Listen for the streamthat tells you one thing.Die on this bank. Begin in methe way of rivers with the sea.~Rumi mountain temple--under the spring moona poem party ~Issa They arrive and others arrive,and then they go, and the others go.Day and night, a constant traffic.Where do they come from?Where do they go?Does it mean anything?Nothing, nothing, nothing.~Lalla with a voicelike a temple bell...the lover cat ~Issa Space and time, male and female, Subject and object, being and nonbeing – all are lost in the flood of Realization.~Ramesh S. Balsekar This consciousness, which is really what is born, mistakenly attaches itself to this body and thinks it is the body and works through the three gunas; that is the association. And, it is that which is born. But I have nothing to do with this. In the Gita, Lord Krishna tells Arjuna that You are not killing somebody, nor is anybody getting killed. The whole thing is an illusion. This knowledge "I am," this consciousness, This feeling or sense of Being, will also have gone. This sense of Being cannot remain Without the body, just as sweetness Cannot remain without the sugar. What remains is the Original, which is unconditioned, without attributes, and without identity: that on which this temporary state of the consciousness and the three states and the three gunas have come and gone. It is called Parabrahman, The Absolute." ~Nisargadatta naked weepingsmiling crazyadrift on a silentriver of nowserene as the heart ofRamana's cowripplesno centerno place to leavenowhere to entermirror of soulrevealed in a glanceacross the sky floorof this liquid danceall are welcometo share with methis simple mindlessmystery ~b LoveEternal.The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
