In a dream I came close to the sage's head;

coming closer, our heads began to merge,

and then, for a moment, I experienced his wonderful cool, still mind.

 

- but the Heart is the place which finally matters - and the real Heart is only One.

When the mind is kept away from its preoccupations, it becomes quiet. If you do not disturb this quiet, and stay in it, you find that it is permeated with a light and love you have never known. And yet, you recognize it at once as your own nature.

  

Im Herzen scheint ein Licht, sich selber inne, einzig wirklich: das bist du.

be light, be happy

 

Space comes with a "yes" to what is.

 

Eckhart Tolle

  

Of what avail is knowing things

Other than the Self? And the Self being known,

What other thing is there to know?

That one light that shines as many selves,

Seeing this Self within

As Awareness' lighting flash;

The play of Grace; the ego's death;

The blossoming of Bliss.

 

from Atma Vidya (Self Knowledge) of Sri Ramana Maharshi

  

Look to your Self for the answers. Everything is within you. Learn to be still. Find out who's worried, who fears, who's unhappy, who's depressed, who's sick and you will say, "I am, but who am I?" and follow the I to its source. And the "I" will disappear of its own accord. The realization will come, that you are absolute reality and that all is well and everything is unfolding as it should.

Robert Adams

 

Stay open and quiet, that is all. What you seek is so near you, that there is no place for a way.

one of my favorite parts of Flickr is the randomness that is part of it. this is a photographer who plays in that random world the way a sax player riffs in alley or in a valley someplace. after I wrote this, I looked further and music is also what he does. Who knew? Anyway, go listen with your eyes ...
