have you pondered this?


how can thoughts be more important
than from where they spring?
how can writing in books be
of more interest than the emptiness
(which is full) in which they arise?
how can the wave be more important
than the ocean from which it
is made manifest?
oh soul, have you pondered this?
because this is of great concern and
interest to a man that is in pursuit of the self
because he is not to be running after the
waves any longer and making understandings
from the dust of experience
how very not in the way of bringing liberation
is this
as the building of anything will find it's ruin
eventually
and will sink back into the source of all
it will not have any permanent existence
so ponder this dear souls
and forget the movement that brings rise
to differences
forget your little self that has so many competing
desires and transient understandings
and be like the best of all
which is God
unclothed of ego (attachment to body and mind)
unclothed of suffering (attachment to body and mind)
unclothed of anything that is different than the one
open up to life
and be true
be forever unbound
like the ocean full
like the source that is
always one

  1. Namaste, have been wondering here about same thing. After depth of a state and understanding of certain experiences and having no mind for a time, mind comes back, desires spin the mind back to where it was. Suppose it takes time and patients and persistence to keep plugging at it, till its ready to let go of. The desire for liberation is very strong and present every day, at times surrender happens and at times it does not. Mind is seen for what it is, a false story of no existence. A body is understood and experienced to be just empty in nature. depth brings knowing into the front, understanding of it directly. Mind clouds it back to the old state. Yet change is happening on its own. Faith is strong here, its choiceless. Deep appreciation for this, from the heart that is one. Om shanti

  2. namaste, you have really only just begun -- kundalini has been active here for 35 years or so ... kriyas about 20 ... yes, it takes lifetime(s) to complete... one must be in it for the long haul... om shanti
