Words, Tears, Laughter

Any one that achieves non-duality has already lost it.

It has been my experience that deeper insight brings about greater awareness, not greater indifference.

But, it is like being a parent. When your toddler first learns to run, you must let them go. You cannot hold them, or they will never learn. And, you pray that they don’t fall and hurt themselves. And yet, if they do, you are there to help dry their tears, and remind them that it’s ok; they will be able to run just fine one day soon. To keep trying and not to give up.

And, so it is with what seem to be my own foibles, and the apparent foibles of others. By seeing the clear light of truth that shines through all these activities. In the light and calm of emptiness, the wisdom of the truth is realized in each momentary happenstance. It is in this great Buddha mind that both sorrow and joy are vessels of the Way. And, when you practice with this, you learn that in their own way, each leads to the Truth.

And so, words are the way, tears are the way, laughter is the way.
