Nonduality Highlights: Issue #3886, Saturday, May 8, 2010, Editor: Mark
There is A madman inside of you
Who is always running for office.
Why vote him in,
For he never keeps the accounts straight.
He gets all kinds of crooked deals
Happening all over town
That will just give you a big headache
And glue to your kisser
A gigantic
Confused Frown.

There are two kinds of seekers: Those who seek happiness by
changing outer circumstances, and those who seek happiness by
trying to change themselves. Neither way works.

A great insight is only as good as the surrender it engenders.

Just as a speck in the eye, by causing inflammation, may wipe out
the world, so the mistaken idea: "I am the body-mind"
causes the self-concern, which obscures the universe. It is
useless to fight the sense of being a limited and separate person
unless the roots of it are laid bare. Selfishness is rooted in
the mistaken ideas of oneself. Clarification of the mind is yoga.

Let go of body and mind, until you reach a state of great rest,
like letting go over a cliff ten miles high, being like open
space. And don't produce representations of discriminations of
random thoughts arising and passing away; the moment a view
sticks in your mind, use the sword of wisdom to cut it right off,
not letting it continue.

Life is this simple: We are living in a world that is absolutely
transparent and the Divine is shining through it all the time.
This is not just a nice story or a fable. It is true.
