Guest guest Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Nome From Mandala Five of Self-Knowledge Be attached to nothing; Remain as space-like Consciousness. Complete renunciation Is complete freedom, Blissful and full of peace. Attachment is the false attempt to cling To what is merely imagined. What is merely imagined Is not truly real. Detachment is freedom From the nonexistent. Attachment exists not In the unreal things, But only in the mind Clouded by ignorance. Knowing the source Of Bliss within, Renounce attachment, Fooling yourself no more. Be detached even From your thoughts. Regarding nothing as yours, You will cease to believe In a separate " you, " And will know the Self at last. One who is detached Cannot be bound By anything in the world. He is beyond suffering, And is space-like in Being. Be attached to nothing. --------------------- Not two, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My current mantra is: " Dissolve mind, body, ego. Wake up! " Of course that mantra will eventually dissolve like all the others and if I'm really lucky there won't be another one to replace it.
