El Curio Time Once Again:
With enlightenment, there is nothing to hold on to.

 

After many years involved in it, a man thought, "I do not know whether my
struggle to awaken has been good or bad, but I do know that it was inevitable."

Contrary to the way it's normally put, that "men have thoughts," 'twould be
just as accurate to say that "thoughts have men." ...(And insofar as useful
potential is concerned, "accurate" could be an understatement.)

One mystic so said, "Only the blind can see -- only those with no personal views."

Trees, mountains, rivers, clouds, and crows are continually revealing to man
the subtle reality of the truth; they are saying,
"We are what we are,
and we do not know what we are,
and we do not say what we are,
and we do not imagine that we are other than we are."

This is the great, but subtle and silent, message they send to man.

Going along with conditions makes one ordinary;
going against them,
makes one free.
