Nonduality Highlights: Issue #4196 Sunday, March 20, 2011
What is not stable and permanent, let go.
There is only one thing left.
Worlds and gods will disappear, but This will not.
When you are reminded of this keep your eye on it,
not with the intention of having it, but just to BE it!
All the things you want are in the "let go" category:
House, wife, body, parents, gods, let go.
What is left? What cannot go? That you ARE!
You cannot go because you have never come
and anything that comes must go.
Find out what it is.

The world is not the illusion.
It's you who are the illusion.
Who you are is the context that the entire world
is happening in.
As long as you are in the body, however, you
won't be waking up from the illusion.
You'll only be waking up to the illusion.
Even after you've discovered that it's only
illusory, the mirage of a desert lake still looks
just like a real lake.

Harmony between the inner and the outer is happiness. On the
other hand, self-identification with the outer causes suffering.

The real does not die, the unreal never lived. Set your mind
right and all will be right. When you know that the world is one,
that humanity is one, you will act accordingly. But first of all
you must attend to the way you feel, think and live. Unless there
is order in yourself, there can be no order in the world.

First keep the peace within yourself, then you can also bring
peace to others.
- Thomas a Kempis, posted to Distillation
As a lotus flower is born in water, grows in water and rises out
of water to stand above it unsoiled, so I, born in the world,
raised in the world having overcome the world, live unsoiled by
the world.

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don't go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don't go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the doorsill
where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don't go back to sleep.
