Guest guest Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Countless waves rise and fall The movement never stops. Once I pointed at the waves Trying to explain Their power and their height Not noticing the splendour In which this all took place. Mesmerized by sight of movement Time and time again I tried to catch the waves, With all the means I could invent; They were so dear to me. But all the tricks did fail. A compassionate wave saw my despair And pointed out to me That movements are not to be caught By a movement itself. If I am movement, I replied, Do tell me then, who moves? The wave just rose and then it fell. No wave was left to tell. It just returned from where it came, The water, quiet now, As if it never wore that form, Displayed a blinking smile When it was mirroring the sun, That was playing in its turn With a cloud, just passing by, The game of hide and seek. And this play, this movement, in order to be performed needed no questions, so it proves, No answers were required. It gets performed, just as the waves, Like springing from its source, Which, as rumours go, Is mentioned as no-movement. And it returns apparently to this same silent stage, As the no-movement, which, as it is said, has never ceased to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 The formless form forms no-form in its own unending wave. And finally in a droplet of un-perception, the snake consumes itself. Nothing ever rises. Nothing ever falls. No one ever sees this. - sandeep Nisargadatta Saturday, April 10, 2004 9:57 PM It is, it's own explanation Countless waves rise and fall The movement never stops.
