Because it is unfathomable,
All we can do is describe their appearance.
Watchful, like men crossing a winter stream.
Alert, like men aware of danger.
Courteous, like visiting guests.
Yielding, like ice about to melt.
Simple, like un-carved blocks of wood.
Hollow, like caves.
Opaque, like muddy pools.
Who can wait quietly while the mud settles?
Who can remain still until the moment of action?
Observers of the Tao do not seek fulfillment.
Not seeking fulfillment, they are not swayed by desire for change.” Lao Tse, Tao Te Ching
Beyond concepts
and language, the truth they experienced was indescribable.
So, they embodied
this truth and shared it as flowers share their fragrance.
Breathe deep of such sweet wisdom!
In the center of your
chest there is a place of peace.
A secret flame
shines there like a jewel in the moonlight.
It is a feeling
place, a healing place.
It is a place of loving
grace, of deep contentment and ecstatic bliss.
Every night you rest
there, like babe in mother’s lap, as
your spirit suckles on the nectar of infinity.
In sleep, you fall into its depths unaware and
unconscious.
If you can be
there in full awareness, you will truly inherit the kingdom of heaven.
Find this place –
it is your greatest treasure, the birthright of every living being.
It is the key to experiencing your true immortality.
The doorway to
this heart-cave is silence and stillness.
Learn to still the
restless mind, while you focus on pure existence, on your deepest sense of
being.
Be alertly aware,
totally present in each moment.
See clearly that
you are not this limited body-mind complex.
Experience freedom from fear and delusion.
Rejoice in the glory
of being one with everything.
Allow your
consciousness to expand like the infinite blue sky.
This is the
greatest good that you can ever do, the greatest gift you can give to those
you love, the greatest blessing you can bestow upon humanity.
Be the divine
perfection that you truly are!
