Guest guest Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Nome from Mandala Eight of Self-Knowledge Knowledge is true experience, Direct and immediate. It depends not On the product or measure Of anything else. To one with Self-Knowledge, What difference could there be Between appearing and disappearing, A body or without, A perception or without, A thought or without? To expect the perceptions Of form, world, Body, senses, and thought, To disappear at their own level In order to transcend them Is like expecting The dream character In one's dream To see the dream forms, world, Body, senses, and thought, Disappear within the dream Before waking up. When the forms, world, Body, senses, and thought Vanish in true Knowledge, The Reality of pure, Transcendent Being Remains alone by itself, With not a trace Of anything else. Even when all Is thought of as appearing, The Reality of pure, Transcendent Being Remains alone by itself. Cessation of ignorance Is the end of illusion, and Knowledge is true experience. ------------------------ Not two, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
