Guest guest Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Nome from Mandala Ten of Self-Knowledge The Truth reveals the Truth To the Truth. The Self reveals its own Existence As the one Self. This is the truth of meditation, The Truth of the Guru-and-disciple relationship. Only a Self-Realized sage Reveals Self-Knowledge, Clearly, " like a fruit in the hand, " Naturally, with no duality; The unenlightened Are unable to do so. The Realized reveal it With even the most awkward of words, The unenlightened cannot do so With even the eloquence Of the most elegant of words. The Realized reveal it Even with silence. In this silence, There are no unenlightened ones. Speaking, he is yet silent. Speaking, the sage Speaks only to God & #8213; The real Self & #8213; Whenever addressing The disciple or aspirant. Not to follow the Truth Revealed by one's Guru Is to cling to the illusions of the world, Walk eyes open into a raging fire, Blind one's own eyes, Injure oneself, Drown oneself, To fall again into nightmares After being kindly awakened. The wise yogi does not Make himself thus As one deserving of compassion, But adheres to that Truth, Dissolves himself into it, Rests himself upon it, Remains absorbed in it, And is content. Truth is like water: Strong enough To dissolve solid rock, Yet so gentle It can touch your eyes. Be devoted to your Guru, For he will generously show you That which might otherwise Require eons of striving. Who shows what to whom? To the Truth, Truth reveals the Truth. -------------------- Not two, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 That is beautifully written Richard. Indeed Truth reveals It Self. Self reveals ItSelf to ItSelf by ItSelf without an intermediary. The Guru and disciple both disappear completely into the Self, One Self, without a second.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Dear Harsha, Thank you for the comment. One of the reason that I love Nome's teaching is the depth and clarity that is always present. have you had a chance to listen to any of the mp3s that I have posted of satsang with Nome?
