life, rush towards the center of your being.
That is the only shelter in existence, because that center is beyond birth and death. It is your eternity, it is your cosmos, it is your buddha.
As you go deeper and deeper you come closer and closer to yourself.
A great silence starts descending on you, an immense peace, a great joy.
As you come to the center of your being you have found your original face. Your original face is the buddha.
Remember only one quality of the buddha -- because buddha has no other quality -- witnessing.
Witness that you are not the body.
Witness that you are not the mind.
Witness that you are not the astral body.
Witness that all the experiences that are happening and will be happening, you are not. You are just a detached, unidentified witness.
This witnessing is the greatest miracle in the world, because it takes you out of the circle of birth and death and gives you the wings to fly into the eternal sky.
It brings you to your home, it makes you aware of the forgotten language of your being.
It fills your heart with love, compassion, kindness. It creates a strange longing in you: How to share it?
To make it clear, Nivedano ...
(drumbeat)
Relax ....
But remember not to forget the witness. That is your very soul, that is your spirituality, that opens the door of all the mysteries of existence.
At this moment you are the most blessed people on the earth.
Collect as many flowers, as much fragrance as possible. Persuade the buddha to come along with you. Every day the distance is becoming less and less.
When the buddha starts to be your ordinary life, your day-to-day life, when he expresses his grace, his understanding, his enlightenment, in your ordinary activities, gestures, words, silences, waking or asleep, you have found the ultimate truth of your being.
The day it happens is the most glorious, the most splendrous, the purest of your life. There is nothing beyond it. It is the truth, it is beauty, it is godliness.
Before Nivedano calls you back, just witness that your separation from other buddhas
