The peace of ease

"Wu Hsin has given up

All notions of what he is not:

Not the mind,

Not the body,

Not the senses.

He knows that he knows these

But is not them.

His is a life of ease."

Wu Hsin

 



As the knower of body, senses and mind

 

You are none of these

 

You are the aware alive peace

 

full of boundless ease

 

simply as it

 

is

Ram Dass said that he always handed out the mantra “I am loving awareness.”. What I love about the mantra is that when you aren’t using it as a mantra the statement itself has a multiplicity of meanings, just as Sanskrit does. This poem speaks to that vision. Thank you.
