Is this awakening?

34 posts in this topic

Like a good, little, boy,

I ask life to let me go.

Life says - alright, young man,

the wish will be granted... but not in your way.

Your way will have to go... and so will you.

So hold on tight... or not. Anyway your time is due.

Have you got a disease? Physical ailment? Pain? Great! You are most fortunate!

This is an amazing opportunity given to you by the Lord himself! The jackpot to claim here is the freedom from identification with your body!

And when the whole strenuous process is complete... you realize with a joyful laugh, that the sickness was only a silly joke :)

The great thing about awakening is seeing all that it is not.

It is not fasting, dieting and being a vegan.

It is not being a celibate, not feeling lust and not watching porn.

It is not the lack of ambition and drive.

It is not maintaining a meditation habit.

It is not following a particular path.

It is not any of these.

It is free to do anything, even the so called "unenlightened" stuff :)

I am unreasonably happy.

 

Unreasonable joy, as in with no reason.

There is no "I am happy because..."

There is only "I am happy!"

What a discovery! I don't need a reason to be happy! That's really good. That's good.

 

Unreasonable joy, as in silly.

Like a little kid, oblivious to the great seriousness of the world.

Any thing can be a source of humor and awe.

What a silly and beautiful way to be!

All is welcome in my play,

If it's dark or bright as day.

I can walk and talk for fun,

Every moment is a pun.

And the child inside that's me,

Is full of joy, for it is free.

How could something hurt me now?

Every pain recieves a - meowww!

No escape, always here,

wheter smooth or overwhelm.

Want to run, want to hide,

no place else, but this mind.

More than a stone, life is like clay,

shaped by our thoughts, to the fool's dissmay.

But for the ones, who know this truth,

there is no bounds, so let's make the move!

Glimpses of impermanence

We think we live for ever,

yet the same instant we're gone.

As our grand show begins,

we sing the final song.

Struggling to survive,

trying not to die,

missing that we are

but a spark in God's eye.

It's like a joke that never gets old:

...I find trouble. Trouble, trouble, trouble...

...And then...

....oh, yeah! It was all me again. How could I forget? I won't be fooled like this anymore...

...oh look! Trouble! Trouble, trouble, trouble...

Ahimsa

A world filled with violence,

outside as well as in,

crying for a warrior

to come and settle things.

Daring and fearless

the warrior comes in,

stopping the madness

from the silence of his being.

There is a curious thing that happens when you admit that you don't know something.

                                                                    when you recognize, that you are ignorant.

                                                                    when you see that your beliefs have nothing solid supporting them.

 

One of two things can take place at this point.

...either you quickly forget this fact and distract yourself from it.

...or you stay here, not knowing, being at a loss.

 

If you are crazy or brave enough to choose the second option, the ignorance that you are basking in will start melting.

 

As it will be disappearing in front of your eyes, you will notice what was hidden right behind it.

 

You will recognize.

               discover.

               enlighten.

 

 

So I beg you, my friend! If you are crazy or brave enough to look the unknown into the face, then stop. See the facts. See clearly, that you do not know.

I am like Superman,

 my eyes like laser beams.

Whatever I look at,

 turns into no-thing.
