[Guest guest]

seating himself upon the brow of the great

elephant, the caterpillar addressed the crowd gathered

aroung him.<br>"you have all come from various places to

hear what i have to say. some of you have even

travelled for many days over many miles to be here. i say

to you, you are here because your heart is in the

right place. but i tell you, you are not. for if you

were with your heart, you would not have needed to

leave home.<br>"you have come because you have

questions about the Truth, and how to learn to see it. but

in truth,any answers i give will only serve to cause

you more questions. what good can come of this? you

seek words in response to words. you are merely

running in circles, and now you wish for me to feed you,

that you might have more energy to run in more

circles.<br>"listen, throw away your questions. you will find no rest

in these. instead be silent. in stillness you will

learn more than words can ever reveal to you. the

Unkown that you wish to know is within you. it is not

only where your heart is, but what your heart

is.<br>"questions are worthless. they only serve to disrupt the

flow of Love that burns inside of you. you do not even

fully understand the questions you wish to ask, yet you

expect answers that make perfect sense. i tell you

again, throw away your questions.<br>"but since i know

you,that you will not be happy, and will not be stillied,

unless you are given answers to what you seek, i will

now tell you the answer to all questions with but one

word, and we will see then if you can ever be

satisfied.<br>"Love. Love is the answer to all things. all things were

created by Love, out of Love, and all things exist in

Love. Love is the source of all wisdom, and indeed,

Love Is Wisdom. and there is only One Way to know

Love, and that is by Loving.<br>"it is said, 'he who

knows himself knows God.' how is this? because God Is

Love. Absolute Pure Unconditional Love. and what are

you then, who are His offspring? if the father is a

mouse, is he not the father of mice? if the father is a

flea, do elephants spring from his loins? since the

Father Is Love, what does that say about His Children?

your Father created all that is, what then, does that

say about you?<br>"look inside yourself and see who

you are. do not waste time wondering, 'who am i,' i

nstead experience yourself. allow the Love that is all

you are to pour from within you. feel it. it is real.

it is Reality. this Love, this Deep Com-passionate

Love for all things that you have seal-ed up inside

you, this is who you truely are.<br>"inside you,

whether you admit it to yourself or not, is an

overwhelming desire to Love everything wholey and completely.

deny this urge and you deny yourself, for it is who

you are. deny this urge and you deny God, for this

desire is Him dwelling inside you. to deny the

outpouring of Love is to cut yourself off from all that You

Are." <br><br>from 'the caterpillar sutra' by me.
