“This is IT, and that’s it.”
I was walking through Namaste Yoga and Healing Center here in Asheville on Sunday and found a painting of a buddhist monk with words written around the edge. It read “Life has no meaning. Sing Dance Live”
Too often we search for meaning, which is a waste of time. It is a mental trip. Life is beyond the mind, and any questions, answers, words, feelings or thoughts are all of the mind.
It is easy to get caught in the trap of the mind when you don’t know anything else. If we knew what we were at the very core of our being, which is not an object in this world, we would not have the sorrow that comes with identification with our physical possessions, our personalities, or our belief systems, etc. In the end, all of these perish. Yet one thing alone remains, and that IS you. One thing always IS, and that is YOU.
You are that right now. You are always that. There is no need to find it. The experiences you have happen within you. Yet most people identify with the experience as opposed to their real Self. To move beyond the mind, intend to do so. To identify with your eternal Self, intend to do so. Then wait, knowing the realization is on the way. Accept it when it arrives, however simple it might be.
