life without stain


she speaks to the soul
of life lived without stain
of life lived without mistaken knowledge
of life lived without the burden of thoughts
for thoughts are the cause of suffering
they are the connection between body and mind
like a knot or the rudra granthi
they make the body appear as
separate and confined to a persona
and make all the world appear
the body is subject to so many things
and will decay in time and be put to
the cremation grounds
or buried or what have you
do not let it be the all of your existence
it is here due to karma and
all that is directed by grace
it knows nothing at all
it is like an inert thing
a vehicle for the soul to experience
life on this plane
a disciple on the path will
not be so enamored by it
for has it not been proven to be
unreliable as the source of happiness?
it is subject to so many things
it dies away someday or today maybe
who knows?
it will be like a corpse soon
but holy it is not
holy it is not
so sisters and brothers when you are
true to God
one does not hold his creations as being
personal
but simply observes quietly
the world and all that comes and goes
in it
how strange it is, yes?
how very mysterious and not understood
by mind at all
it is like a show of color and light
and oddities and beauty and horrors
but this is not to be taken as personal in the least
for when death comes
the mind is stripped of all
identifications
like a dissolution of all that has been collected
and that which was identified as a "me" is no more
but one need not wait until death for this process to begin
and can be purified while in body
in this life now
this is the path
and what remains under it all?
this is LIFE in it's purity
truth
Atman
Buddha
Christ
God

and so friends of heart, may it continue forward
in the most beneficial way
may it continue....
