ordinary..

the most sought out one is the man that is wealthy

this is true within the world 

one that is put on a throne or a pedestal is the one that most say 

he has arrived 

yet this is rather interesting indeed 

as no man can find happiness within anything of the world 

the one that is laden down by the world is the one that is forever seeking 

and restless in nature.. 

looking always for another adventure or something else to prop up with and find happiness within

this cannot be a joy truly 

because the righteous man of God is not of form and dress
or measured by what can be seen

like objects...

and he is completely at peace within --

he is as a child in some ways 

free of cares and not looking to externals for happiness

he is a friend to all in the way of carrying no judgement internally

he is a most honored man on the outside, but does not need bolstering up

or anything from anybody 

he stays in the stillness that is not made of other and wanders not away from

truth 

the man of God is the light of the world as this one keeps the energy always 

in balance 

and cannot be made to go astray within the confusion of mind

he has come to know himself 

this is what a sage is 

yet he is not anything extraordinary as this implies something added to truth 

but he is more ordinary in his way --

*normal* in the way of being the natural SELF as pure life in it's form 

the man of God is Shiv -

he is not the *nature* self anymore which is that of change and rebirthing of 

something else...

he is the last of all in the way of what remains *after* the shadows fall

he is the first of all in the way of what exists always *before* the drama driven mind.. 

he is silent as the moonlight on the beautiful clear waters 

he is welcome as the sun in spring in it's full opening of life

he is made like the light unto itself not different than this 

he is silent like the mystery within the cave of the heart 

stilled and cooling to the heat of mind 

he makes his self known by his presence in that it takes away the burden 

or churns up the unrest to be *seen* 

this is what is called a catalyst for the soul in putting it in full gear towards 

cleaning out the dust of duality ...

the man of God stays here always 

he does not make a nest in the world to be shut away 

he stays here to be seen as the light to those trusted souls that are open and sincere

he shows them the way out of the prison nature of mind 

by pointing to the core of the soul or showing the soul how to walk upright 

and sturdy without teetering and getting lost in the patterns created by mind 

that have come from childhood experience and confused guidance or whatever 

the story is -- it is the same -- driven by a *me* and looking to find a way to preserve

itself ---

the man of God lies on the ground or in a bed 

he does not care if he is high or low within --- it matters not as his body is the same as the earth

yet he is free and beyond this always as the sun is above the world and shines always 

whether seen or not seen...

the man of God takes away the hardship from the seeker if he frees it up and lets go...

this one will take it away and not give it back...

yet the seeker is to make his own efforts towards discovering his true nature ..

and not bring back to himself the suffering that has been taken...

the man of God lives always in the timeless zone of reality ...

this is what all are made within --

not the body or mind, but pure reality ...
