Guest guest Posted September 12, 2000 Report Share Posted September 12, 2000 Dear Friends, If I cannot save, fix or help myself how can I expect to save, fix or help others? If I cannot recognize truth how can I expect others to recognize truth? If I cannot simply be how can I expect others to simply be? If I cannot be joy and happiness how can I expect others to be joy and happiness? If I cannot drop endless idle speculation how can I expect others to drop endless idle speculation? What to do or not do? What to do or not do? May we all be in It As-It-Is and have the experience of It As-It-Is. Peace, equanimity, joy and happiness, Victor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 12, 2000 Report Share Posted September 12, 2000 Hi Victor: Sounds like you have found a good reason to have no expectations.

Paths, places, sights, perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self.
