allowing to be
not using force
aligned with arisings
reveals a course
what once was unknown
requires no prep
the ground appearing
along with each stepTHIS movement within
THAT deepest repose
shows longing and fear
only ever supposed
as phantoms created
in the shadows of mind
now each darkened corner
illumined we finda light which shines
indiscriminately
the world of appearances
now clearly is seen
as a transitional show
using interface of mind
assigning name and form
seeming objects definedthis may be the part
where questions arise
like “just what does it mean
the seeker must die?”
in this lies a mystery
how does one comes to feel
and know before mind
that no person is realif THIS is remembered
more intensely one shines
forgetting such words
as my, me or mine
our role now is clear
in this manifest play
we recognize what we are
and get out of the way
Thank you, Walter. Correspondingly, I read this morning from Nisargadatta: “Meditation will help you the find your bonds, loosen them, untie them and cast your moorings. When you are no longer attached to anything, you have done your share. The rest will be done for you.”
And thank you James, the clarity of Nisargadatta is beautiful. Meditation certainly was helpful here to help gain some stability and reduce compulsiveness of mind.
