To live means to live vulnerably unconcerned with the idea of self.
To live vulnerably means to have a totally blind faith in the intelligence of the universe, to have a sense of the inherent okayness of everything.
You don't really live as long as you remain divided as a thought—"I".
Author: Manisha
To live each moment fully meaning attentively without trying to run or be absorbed in it means to accumulate no experience (a.k.a. carry no memory), and end it then and there, it means to have no continuity by association of thought meaning no "I"; it means to die well, be nothing.
To put it simply, in a moment of voidness, all the virtues are present.
~ Ajahn Buddhadasa
Only a Nothing can be noble.
Not a man, not a woman, not a thing, not a this, not a that, but only Nothing.
One who has no views, motivations—no center (I/me/mine) whatsoever to move from, such a one is perfection mobilized.
To interpret is to miss it entirely.
Understanding doesn't need a frame of thought in whatever shape or form.
Just pure seeing.
You can see without looking.
Act without becoming.
All views are unnecessary, and so are all motivations.
Absence of you,
a space of undirected intelligence.
The heart sings its songs
My words tell its story
For the face I see is the map to that which breathes life into the fabric of everything.
What else could I sing of, speak of, and write of?
When I am no more; I have become It.
For you, I whirled. And I found you looking at me through a million forms scattered across a wide scale, which, they say, was set in motion by Time.
What is Time for me when I always recognize you, see you in everything everywhere? I will always recognize you, know you, and breathe you. Our love is that old and that new.
Beyond conditions, it shines like the full Moon in the clear water of the lake.
Beyond all images and ideas, there is a space of undirected intelligence that can do anything without becoming anything.
One can have nothing but the right view when one has no views, one can do nothing but act rightly, nothing but love when one is nothing.
Truth isn't a day by day step by step incremental, mechanical, or a stale process so to speak. It can only be immediate, direct, spontaneous, fresh, alive beyond all attempts to grasp it by Thought as a Thought after it.
It arrives in a flash, touches suddenly when thought is not.
You can't grasp it, for all forms of grasping—categorizing/ conceptualizing etc is Mind-a movement away from it.
Experiment freely. see it all.
Don't believe anything. Go beyond beliefs and doubts. Exit the cycle.
There's no one and nothing to believe or doubt except Thought.
Know this and be free.
Let this one that speaks of dualities and multiplicities be dropped.
Whirl in divine ecstasy, for you are It.
reality is as is.
don't ask why the Sun rises and sets, or why the flower blooms,
the Sun rises and sets, and the flower blooms
those receptive will know the joy of the Sun's warmth
the joy of the flower's fragrance
but the Sun just is
the flower just is
for no reason.
don't ask these silly questions with this Mind,
but let the Mind remain dropped and open yourself to the wonder of Life.
to the wonder Life is. for its own sake.
