... SUCH UNWAVERING ONE IS ALWAYS WITH GOD.
Then every second you and god will remain together. Saying together is perhaps not right, you have become one. This is the meaning of: ... SUCH UNWAVERING ONE IS ALWAYS WITH GOD. You are not apart for a single moment. Togetherness becomes continuous.
DAY AND NIGHT DISSOLVING MIND IN NO-MIND,
Each moment moving or sitting, awake or asleep only one thing remains: DISSOLVING MIND IN NO MIND. Transform mind into no-mind -- 'man' into 'un-man', what Zen masters also call no-mind. Let mind become emptiness.
What is mind? Thoughts about the past, plans for the future -- this is mind. A fuss over what has already happened, expectations about what should happen -- this is mind. Neither the past nor the future remain. What does remain? -- the present.
LAUGHING PLAYING, THE KNACK OF MEDITATION...
Only this pure present remains which does not have even a shadow of thought. But you are entangled in the past which does not exist and entangled in the future which has not happened yet. Some people are past oriented, their eyes are fixed backwards. Some people are future oriented, their eyes are fixed ahead. And both are deprived of 'what is'. And 'what is', now, this very moment, is the manifestation of god.
Live in the moment. Live moment to moment. Then where is sadness?
Have you ever taken note of one thing, that the present is always juicy, the present is always blissful. Whenever you become sad, just look at it, the sadness is either in reaction to the past or about the future. Worry and suffering are created either by what you wanted to do in the past and could not do, or by what you want to do in the future and don't know whether you will be able to do or not. Did you ever notice, did you ever look at this small truth, that there is no suffering in the present, there is no worry? This is why the present does not disturb the mind, anxiety disturbs the mind. There is no suffering in the present. The present doesn't know suffering. The present is such a small moment that suffering cannot fit into it. In the present only heaven can fit, not hell.
