Doing Nothing--an Invitation to a Dialogue

[Guest guest]

An Invitation to a Dialogue

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is an invitation to a dialogue. This dialogue may take

 

 

 

many forms. Dialogue is the unifying expression of duality.

 

 

 

It is the one embrace of the apparent two.

 

 

 

 

 

The totality of life is inclusive of all forms and, recognizing this,

 

 

 

form attempts to see the formless in the other.

 

 

 

 

 

This is not the dominance of one over the other, or the instruction

 

 

 

of one to the other. This dialogue is inclusive of the other.

 

 

 

 

 

It may be the inspection of the inner and the outer. It may be a

 

 

 

dialogue with our wife, our husband, our child, our friend. It may be

 

 

 

the unexpected meeting on a busy street, the beauty of a newly opened

 

 

 

flower, the empathetic response to someone's pain. It is the dialectic of

 

 

 

life with itself.

 

 

 

 

 

We are all part of this vast conversation, the play of life in its apparent

parts

 

 

 

and its undeniable oneness. As we converse, let us find our way back to the

 

 

 

point of our conversation, the beginning of our play with ourselves.

 

 

 

 

 

When we speak to each other, let us recognize that we are speaking to ourselves.

 

 

 

When we meet each other, we are not meeting a stranger, we have simply

 

 

 

forgotten that we have already met, already conversed so many times. This is

 

 

 

The dialogue.

 

 

 

 

 

Let us invite this dialogue in our lives.

ego wants to talk with another ego?

 

who wants to invite somebody?

just a body?

 

 

in duality cannot be expressed unity!!

 

just in silence it can be possible, but where is there

dialogue, with whom?

Of course, there is no dialog. It's a monologue of Self with Self, but

mayhaps this is the point of it. Whether one looks without or within, the Self

cannot be avoided, since it is all that exists. Wherever one looks, there is a

mirror to reflect One.
