Glowing knowing
"My teachings are easy to understand
and easy to put into practice.
Yet your intellect will never grasp them,
and if you try to practice them, you will fail"
Lao-tzu, Tao Te Ching
"The Self is taintless, beyond space,
unborn, vast, and immovable.
Let a wise aspirant directly realize this insight,
not just reflect on tiresome words."
Brihadâranyaka Upanishad
(nearly 3000 years old)
Beyond
all shallow words
the timeless fire is burning
All trying
is
dying
into the silent knowing
that was always glowing
here
