Greetings and Namaste!
All those who genuinely seek to know what
lies beyond the ordinary mind, beyond the
incessant chatter of ego-consciousness, will
come to a place on their path where
surrender - absolute, repeated surrender - is
the only way through. Surrender to the
mystery, surrender the mind's self-inflating
hubris, surrender it's clinging to all desires -
spiritual and otherwise - surrender to what
lies beyond it's tiny domain.
Breathing and letting go.
Letting go and letting go.
Letting go even of letting go.
self erasure proceeds by grace,
a mere
dimensionless point remains,
motionless,
still,
silent...
