Vasana Voyeurisms

 

Hair on fire.

Head on fire.

Torso and limbs on fire.

 

River on fire.

Earth on fire.

Sky on fire.

 

Mind on fire.

 

Inquire into it.

Inquire as your hair's on fire.

Inquire into it when the wind of opinion shifts,

when the flames're fanned by your own hands grasping,

when your body's sterno spirit-ignited

and you're canned and conned in the heat of having an intense

identification to a particular experience of suffering.

 

Suffering is born in the past.

 

Inquire into it.

 

Become a vasana voyeur and verify "Who Am I?"

 

Hair on fire.

Head on fire.

Torso and limbs on fire.

 

River on fire.

Earth on fire.

Sky on fire.

 

Mind on fire.

 

I am not.

Not on fire.

 

Inquire into it.

Surrender to it.

Let everything end.

 

Let it end.

 

 

There is a great momentum of suffering and confusion that every

spiritual seeker encounters. It is the momentum of ignorance which

manifests as the experience of conflict and confusion and which

causes suffering. In order to discover the perspective of Liberation,

which alone transcends this entire movement of ignorance and

suffering, one needs to let everything end.

 

"Letting everything end" means to stand in the moment completely

naked of attachment to any and all ideas, concepts, hopes,

preferences, and experiences. Simply put, it means to stop

strategizing, controlling, manipulating, and running away from

yourself--and to simply be. Finally you must let everything end and

be still. In letting everything end, all seeking and striving stops.

All effort to be someone or to find some extraordinary state of being

ceases. This ceasing is essential. It is true spiritual maturity.

 

By ceasing to follow the mind's tendency to always

want 'more', 'different', or 'better', one encounters the opportunity

to be still. In being still, a perspective is revealed which is free

from all ignorance and bondage to suffering. From that perspective,

eternal Self is realized. The eternal Self, the Seer, is recognized

to be one's true nature, one's very own Self.

 

This is an invitation to let all seeking end, all striving end, all

efforting end, all past identity end, all hopes end, and to discover

That which has no beginning or end. This is an invitation to discover

eternal, unborn, undying Truth of Being. The Truth of your Being,

your own Self. Let the entire movement of becoming end, and discover

That which has always been present at the core of your Being.
