Fwd: Daily Words of the Buddha

[Guest guest]

This Now

is not of time

it's out of time

Let go of the present

it's not to let go of Now

Now is not the present

Now is what is present

in the present, in the past, in the future

timless

dimensionless

all embracing

empty

full

creating

destroying.

Now is what is as it is

nobody can let go of it

not even the Now

when nothing is left

Now is still present.

Namaste M,

 

Ultimately there is no Saguna really and so therefore with Nir Guna

there is no 'Now'. There never was any association of Brahman with

ullusion, or Saguna. There is no way of describing it except in the

negative Nirguna..............ONS..Tony
