Guest guest Posted November 1, 1999 Report Share Posted November 1, 1999 The Truth is ultimately simple and never absent. It could not be otherwise. Truth Sees It Self with Its Own Truth. We are the Truth. We must See It with our Own Eye. It is Only what One Is. Self is Always Self-Awake and Complete. The mind identity that arises out of the Self, and that is of the nature of Self in essence, has the feeling of limitation and weakness. Many explanations are given for this such as Karma, Maya, etc. So the practical instructions of the sages emphasize contemplation on the essential nature of identity with faith. Without faith one can never jump into the arms of the Divine Beloved. To allow that jump to take place at all is called Grace. Faith allows for total and immediate availability. Without it one speaks eloquently of water but remains thirsty. Any "doing" with the mind presupposes the retention of the mind and does not allow the conscious sinking of the mind into the Self from where it arises. The complete acceptance of things as they are, when it permeates meditation and life, undermines the resistance of the mind to merging in the Self. Faith is important. It is the preface to Grace. What IS, IS YOU. Not how you imagine yourself to be. But What you really are. Accept It Fully without compromise. Harsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
