Nondual Digest

[Guest guest]

Melody Anderson's Nondual Digest is an email forum offering the best of

each day's postings from the Nonduality Salon forum. It will suit those

who find the hundred plus postings each day on the Nonduality Salon a

bit much.

 

It is not a collection of each day's postings, but a selection of

nuggets of nonduality from that collection.

 

Also, it is not a discussion list. Subscribers cannot post to it.

By the Indian Mystic Poet Jnaneshwar - Link is on Jerry Katz's

It can be seen, therefore,

That he who perceives that there is nothing

Does not himself become nothing.

The Self has this same unique kind of existence,

Beyond both existence and non-existence.

 

The ultimate Reality

Is neither an object to Itself

Nor is It an object to anyone else.

Should it then be regarded as non-existent?

 

In a tank the water may be so clear

That it appears non-existent;

Though one who looks into the tank may not see it,

Still it is there.

 

Similarly,

The ultimate Reality exists in Itself,

And is beyond the conceptions

Of existence or non-existence.

I love that!!!! The Creative Mind finds its expression in the abstract

thought of poetry.

 

All life is perception

and categories of that perception

designate our individuality.

This is our earthly being and our plan to

enjoy the oneness of a heavenly awareness

 

If we allow perception to vanish

and search for the nothingness

We slip into the void where we find

we become all, not just categories

and things.

 

This is our heaven, without which we

would not have the earth.

Nor Earth without our heaven

 

Our perception and acceptance

of the opposites

endear and develop

each with appreciation

of the other.

Inspired again, realizing that the joy of knowing the inspiration

is also knowing the opposite and giving thanks to both.
