fresh air of truth


the nature of reality
is what remains as light
when the coverings that are attached to
dissolve
this is what the sages speak of
it is not like a truth that is to come to
a particular individual
not at all
it is like a truth that is open and vast
and within universal knowledge
that has no personhood within it
like the sun above the play of the world
it is like this
if one is to be within this glory
it is said to go forward like a man that is
felt to be drowning and
to take a breath is the only way to feel life again
the breath is the fresh air of non-dual reality
there is nothing comparable that will bring peace and joy
nothing can be anything close to this peace
because there is nothing *other* within it
it is the *ground* of being
it is uncreated, indivisible, not tainted, not able to be destroyed
it is the true nature of all things seen and the true nature
of that which is unseen
the two are one in truth
the two are one in reality
a man that is not aware of this is in the dark
to this precious gem of knowledge
he is not aware of it
but still he *is* this reality
though he thinks differently about himself
and feels he is of another nature
by holding attachments to that which is seen,
heard and experienced
he is still this reality within the heart always
he cannot be otherwise
but must come to know it by making efforts
yet his efforts will be destroyed in the fires eventually
like the stick that stirs the fire
and is burnt away in the end
leaving only that which *is*
leaving the fullness of life
in it's purity
