WHAT IS THE EXISTENCE OF
OUR LIFE?
❤👉
IF AT THE END OF OUR JOURNEY
THERE BE NO FIND RESTING PLACE,
HOW CAN THERE BE
A WAY TO LOSE OURSELVES IN?
THERE CANNOT BE. NOBODY HAS EVER GONE ASTRAY! ADAM HAS NEVER LEFT THE GARDEN OF EDEN. HE IS STILL LIVING IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN BUT HE HAS BECOME GOAL ORIENTED SO HE CANNOT SEE IT. HE HAS STARTED THINKING OF THE FUTURE. BECAUSE OF THAT THOUGHT OF THE FUTURE, HIS MIND IS CLOUDED AND HE CANNOT SEE THAT WHICH IS AROUND.
WHEN YOU ARE TOO MUCH FUTURE-ORIENTED, YOU START BECOMING FORGETFUL ABOUT THE PRESENT - WHICH IS THE ONLY REALITY.

THESE BIRDS CHATTERING .... THAT FARAWAY CUCKOO.. THIS MOMENT!.. THIS HERENOW... IS FORGOTTEN WHEN YOU START THINKING IN TERMS OF ACHIEVING SOMETHING... WHEN THE ACHIEVING MIND ARISES, YOU LOSE CONTACT WITH THE PARADISE YOU ARE IN.
THIS ONE OF THE MOST LIBERATING APPROACHES IT LIBERATES YOU RIGHT NOW! FORGET ALL ABOUT SIN AND FORGET ALL ABOUT SAINTLESS. BOTH ARE STUPID. BOTH TOGETHER HAVE DESTROYED ALL THE JOYS OF HUMANITY. THE SINNER IS FEELING GUILTY, HENCE HIS JOY IS LOST. HOW CAN YOU ENJOY LIFE IF YOU ARE CONTINOUSLY FEELING GUILTY? IF YOU ARE CONTINUOUSLY GOING TO THE CHURCH TO CONFESS THAT YOU HAVE DONE THIS WRONG AND THAT WRONG? AND WRONG AND WRONG AND WRONG.. YOUR WHOLE LIFE SEEMS TO BE MADE OF SINS. HOW CAN YOU LIVE JOYOUSLY?

IF BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE TO DELIGHT IN LIFE. YOU BECOME HEAVY, LOADED. GUILT SITS ON YOUR CHEST LIKE A ROCK, IT CRUSHES YOU, IT DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO DANCE. HOW CAN YOU DANCE? HOW CAN GUILT DANCE? HOW CAN GUILT SING? HOW CAN GUILT LOVE? HOW CAN GUILT LIVE? SO THE ONE WHO THINKS HE IS DOING SOMETHING WRONG IS GUILT, BURDENED, DEAD BEFORE DEATH, HAS ALREADY ENTERED INTO THE GRAVE.
A MAN OF ABSOLUTE INTELLIGENCE BECOMES A FLOWER. HE LIVES HERENOW. HE HAS NO PAST AND HE HAS NO FUTURE. AND BECAUSE HE HAS NO PAST AND HE HAS NO FUTURE, YOU CANNOT SAY THAT HE LIVES IN THE PRESENT EITHER, BECAUSE PRESENT IS JUST A MIDWAY STATION BETWEEN THE MOVEMENT THAT HAPPENS FROM PAST TO FUTURE. THE PRESENT IS JUST A STATION ON THE WAY. WHEN PAST AND FUTURE DISAPPEAR, PRESENT ALSO DISAPPEAR. WHAT IS LEFTIS A TIMELESSNESS. NOW IS A TIMELESS MOMENT. IT IS ETERNITY AND BUDDHA CALLS IT MEDITATION.
❤👉
IF GUILT DISAPPEARS, RELIGION DISAPPEARS. AND GUILT DISAPPEARS IF GOAL DISAPPEARS. GUILT IS A SHADOW OF THE GOAL.
NOW, CHRISTIANITY WON'T LIKE IT, ISLAM WON'T LIKE IT. HINDUS WON'T LIKE IT THEY ALL LIVE ON THE GOAL. THEY WILL NOT LIKE THIS FLIGHT TO THE BEYOND, THEY WILL NOT LIKE THIS POETIC, AESTHETIC RELIGION. THEY HAVE BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO A VERY ORDINARY RELIGION, BUSINESSLIKE, IT IS PART OF THEIR MARKETPLACE.
❤👉
PRACTISING MEANS YOU ARE AGAIN THINKING TO DO SOMETHING TOMORROW, OR AT LEAST YOU CAN DO IT TOMORROW AND YOU CAN REAP THE RESULTS TOMORROW. BUT THE TOMORROW HAS ENTERED SOMEWHERE DEEP IN YOUR UNCONSCIOUS, IT HAS COME BACK. NO PRACTICE CAN GIVE YOU THIS UNDERSTANDING. THIS UNDERSTANDING IS NOT A QUESTION OF UNDERSTANDING.

IF AT THE END OF OUR JOURNEY
THERE BE NO FINAL RESTING PLACE,
HOW CAN BE THERE BE
A WAY TO LOSE OURSELVES IN?
SHAKUMUNI,'
THAT MISCHIEVOUS CREATURE,
HAVING APPEARED IN THE WORLD,
MISLED, ALAS,
HOW MANY PEOPLE!
THE MIND
WHAT SHALL WE CALL IT?
IT IS THE SOUND OF THE BREEZE
THAT BLOWS THROUGH THE PINES
IN THE INDIAN-INK PICTURE.
THE MIND REMAINING
JUST AS IT WAS BORN
WITHOUT ANY PRAYER
IT BECOMES THE BUDDHA.
TELL A LIE,
AND YOU FALL INTO HELL.
THEN WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO BUDDHA
WHO CONTRIVED
THINGS THAT DON'T EXIST?
