we have called it anahat nad
unstruck music
the player and the played-upon are no more two
the musician has become the music
the dancer has become the dance
that is
the Sound
of one hand
Clapping
the rose cannot become a rose
because its whole effort is diverted
into becoming a lotus
and a lotus it can never become
in fact there is no need
if god wanted the rose to become a lotus
he would have created a lotus
he has created enough lotuses
just the other day i was reading
if god wanted homosexuality
he would have created adam and bruce
he didn't
it is so plain
but people are trying to improve upon god
he has made everybody what he wanted
so the best thing is to discover
who am i
once you know who you are
suddenly all perfectionism disappears
because you find you are perfect
there is no need to be perfect
just as you are, you are perfect
it happens only through meditation
because meditation
is simply settling into your centre
relaxing, resting in your being, to discover
who am i?
that very discovery is the only true spirituality
all else is mumbo-jumbo
once it is heard
all that is worth hearing has been heard
one can think about truth but that is not seeking
it is like a blind man thinking about light
he can go on thinking for eternity
just by thinking about and about
he is not going to find light
the word about is beautiful
it means around and around
he goes around in circles, never touching the centre
and that is the way of the mind
of philosophy, of theology
of all kinds of thinking
it happens only through meditation because meditation is simply settling into your centre relaxing. resting in your being, to discover
the seeker of truth has to stop thinking
he has to be utterly silent, in a state of no-thought
the whole energy that is involved in thinking
has to be released from thinking
so
