The Big Dance

One can dance for only so long. The dance can happen in arrogance, "I am dancing", or it can be recognized to be happening spontaneously in Supreme Silence. Either way, the dance will eventually end, returning to Silence. Depending on one's vantage point, this ending can be quite painful with much suffering, or it can happen with great Peace, Acceptance, and Grace. Every moment is an ending and a new beginning, always happening within this Eternal Silence and Peace. When one is deeply clear to what is always here, there is no fear.

Life Is But A Dream

"Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream."

Awakening as Presence

Resting as Presence.

Only need to cease being distracted,
And abide fully as the Self.

What is always here, present, awake?...

Could it really be that simple?

When what is always here becomes clear,
The challenge then becomes remaining fully
Established in and as That.
It is not a passing state or experience,
It is the unchanging ground of reality,
The true Self, present in the hearts of all.

Om Tat Sat.

May all crooked ways
Naturally be made straight
Though whole-hearted devotion
To Light and Love
Shining in the Heart.

3~(*

Om Shanti.

Spontaneous Flow

Spontaneous Flow... happening in Eternal Presence, Eternal Light.

Silence. Here. Now. Awake. Fulfilled.

Yoga

See beyond all mental distinctions (saint/sinner, female/male, young/old, ugly/beautiful, friend/enemy, relative/stranger, etc.).

Rest in your Heart and see the One Spirit pervading all. This naturally leads to an unconditional Love and Compassion for all, seeing one's Self in all, and all in one's Self.

The Science of Will-Power

Sankalpa - (Resolve) (Clear Intention)

Tapas - (Forbearance of hardship)

Dharana - (Concentration) (One-pointedness of mind) (Sustained focus applied toward activity at hand)

Vairagya - (Dispassion towards desires of the mind)

Whatever it is that needs to be done, do not put it off, do it now. Build up will-power. Every little choice makes a difference.
