Excursus : Within the Realm of Enlightenment

Digging Deeper

“Gaze at the wall until it reappears.”

If the wall reappears, do you understand?

“The one who has not mastered self can never master not-self…”

In mastering self, what do you gain? A lump of flesh?

“I and not-I --- Words of no concern to the man who would enjoy the county fair in all its samsaric holiness.”

The holy man, when having concern has concern, when not having concern has no concern. I or not I; as he meets it. Is this not the Way?

In the bright stillness of your presence, what passes for life, passes for life. There is the truth, the way is known. Mountains, mountains. Ways, ways. All knowing, all unknowable. Put some tofu on the barbecue.
