Balance and Harmony

[Guest guest]

I love the old Taoist works. Here is a line from the book of Balance

and harmony.

 

To sense and comprehend after action is not worthy of being called

comprehension. To accomplish after striving is not worthy of being

called accomplishment. To know after seeing is not worthy of being

called knowing. These three are far from the way of sensing and

response.

Indeed, to be able to do something before it exists, sense something

before it becomes active, see something before it sprouts, are three

abilities that develop interdependently. Then nothing is sensed but

is comprehended, nothing is undertaken without response,nowhere does

one

go without benefit.

 

Sun Tzu in the art of war also demonstrates balance and harmony in

this line;

" Those who are skilled in combat do not become angered, those who are

skilled at winning do not become afraid.

Thus the wise win before they fight, while the ignorant fight to win " .

 

 

And a more current line from Moller de la Rouvieres book

" Spirituality without God "

 

" We are born Non-dual, with the potential to have this revealed in

our ordinary living. However, having acquired a false sense of

duality through the uninspected use of certain of our faculties, this

revelation generally does not take place. When through recognition

and correct forms of practice we re-establish this inherent Non-dual

functionality within ourselves , it becomes self-evident that

fragmentation was a mere illusion, and that wholeness has been the

nature of our living reality all along. Only in the Reality of this

Truth are we alive to the deep joy of what it means to be truly, Non-

dualistically, human.

 

Good stuff dont you think?

 

I see the way inside of every human.Nothing mystical or secretive

about it realy. Our non dual nature is the way, and we are the

path.Just look within yourself. One thing though,it does not come

easy.Self inquiry is more than just saying " who am I? " . Self inquiry

is about seeing the illusion of who we think we are versus who we are

and doing right practice. These masters who speak of the way spent

many years in self inquiry to be able to speak of these things.This

is the end of suffering spoken of by the Buddha. Stay the path for

that is the way my friends.
