Guest guest Posted November 27, 2002 Report Share Posted November 27, 2002 The disease is simple and the remedy equally simple. It is your mind only that makes you insecure and unhappy. Anticipation makes you insecure, memory - unhappy. Stop misusing your mind and all will be well with you. You need not set it right - it will set itself right, as soon as you give up all concern with the past and the future and live entirely in the now. ~Nisargadatta Maharaj Disease road across the river on a magnificent mantra Uttered aeons ago to split the definitive and put it back intact By severing the head of any Buddha encountered, past, present or future. There are no futures in this market. Bear and bull both pull the body-mind in two. Space and time finesse Light in the art of quartering. Yo. Can ya spare a quarter broham – Ahhhh….soham. Shiva stirs At the slightest movement. ~Mitzvah If changes are necessary, they will happen. And if something changes, you do something new or you cease doing something, there's no need to feel any guilt. It's part of the functioning of Totality. ~Ramesh S. Balsekar Like ribbons fluttering in the wind, Like prayer flags baffling in the breeze, Like this infinite thread of bewildered Awe Streaming through consciousness As myriad forms and imbuances Keeping the balance by just being. Unconcerned with any outcome, Unperturbed by any experience, Neither elated nor deflated, Neither pulling towards, clinging or pushing away, Steady seeing, calmly breathing, being still In the amidst of everything appearing in eternity. Total abandonment to what is silent. Silence – Heart-Sigh. ~Mitzvah Name and form hide Reality: This is the Teaching. Giving name and form is an obstacle to Freedom Because then the Substratum, Consciousness, cannot be seen. Call it a statue of a horse and the granite is hidden, see a ring and you won't see the gold. Name and form can never leave Consciousness, as the ring can never leave the gold. Even space is in this because only Self is. ~Papaji Awareness knows no names. Who is it being held just now in audience With His Holiness Goose Heart-Sky? Not "i." Who is it conversing in dokusan right now With Sri Seagull and Maharaj Mud-hen? Not "i." Consciousness chants from the tower of Babel. Consciousness hums mantras from the belly of the Beast. Consciousness shouts "Hallelujah" from the barrel of a rifle. Consciousness hollars praise from men without tongues. Consciousness moans passionate koans from lingam and yoni. Consciousness whispers from everything, everywhere, Love…endless Love. ~Mitzvah True understanding, which is enlightenment, can happen only when there is total effortlessness - in other words, in the utter absence of any comprehender. Then there is only the witnessing of the dream of life without the least desire to change anything. ~Ramesh S. Balsekar True to form the fruit tree blossoms. The blossoms drop. The fruit grows. The fruit drops. The seeds spill. The seeds grow to fruit trees. The fruit trees blossom. The blossoms drop. The fruit grows. The fruit drops. The seeds spill. The seeds grow to fruit trees. True to form the fruit tree blossoms, Drops, fruits, spills, grows…ceases And appears to disappear in consciousness. ~Mitzvah In the stillness of your presence, you can feel your own formless and timeless reality as the unmanifested life that animates your physical form. You can then feel the same life deep within every other human and every other creature. You look beyond the veil of form and separation. This is the realization of oneness. This is love. ~Eckhart Tolle In the window is a reflection of some one. The window with the reflection of some one reflecting Is reflected in the eyes of the one reflecting as some one in the window. Precisely severing the tap-root at the source of separation, The petals of persona-glass shatter from the lotus-mind. Clear nothing sky infinity bliss self evident Love. No space filling empty-spacious spaceless… speechless Love - Love Now. ~Mitzvah When you believe yourself to be a person, You see persons everywhere. In reality there are no persons, only threads of memories and habits. At the moment of realization the person ceases. Identity remains, but identity is not a person, it is inherent in the reality itself. The person has no being in itself; it is a reflection in the mind of the witness, the 'I am', which again is a mode of being. ~Nisargadatta Maharaj Many have verbalized the fear of losing identity At the time of death or liberation. They want to achieve enlightenment with the ego intact. Kill the one and be Killed by What Is. Phoenixplicitly, paradoxically, We fend off fear of drowning when we cease to care if we bathe in ash or water. Wearing nothing but a smile, The Wild Wonder wanders freely, Attached to no one and no thing. Impartial particularity pleases Shiva. ~Mitzvah To see God you need body mind senses and so much paraphernalia. To go beyond God you need nothing. Don¹t even activate a thought, activate no energy even to not activate. Contemplation and adoration of Self is all that you need. Love: Surrender to the Divine and keep Quiet. Wisdom: Inquire into the Divine and keep Quiet. Know "I am Home, I am Home itself," and incessantly look at Self. ~Papaji Spirit and Nature Dancing together… Victory to Spirit! Victory to Nature! Unmanifest and manifest meeting together… Moving not, Moving not, Jai! Moving, moving, Jai! Radha, Radha, Radha-Govinda Jai! Radha, Radha, Radha-Govinda Jai! b bopping bhakti being Bhakta. m yawning jnani being Jnana. Yessire! That's my Baby Now! Spirit and Nature Dancing together… ~Mitzvah Take someone who doesn't keep score, who's not looking to be richer, or afraid of losing, who has not the slightest interest Even in his own personality: He's free. ~Rumi Brother illusion is a milliner. It's a feather in the cap of Bartholomew Cubbins. It keeps the past alive through the eyes of a child. Sister delusion is a seamstress. It's a stitch in time to save memories of stars and screens To savor again and again in another manifestation of this creation. Mother space is a place where eternity parks and rides. Father time and the atom spin yarns to cloak Maya in lawful attire. Naked nothing makes it strip to reality. ~Mitzvah LoveEternal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
