Right and Wrong ?

Lao Tzu says:



"Always be without desire in order to observe its wondrous subtleties;
Always have desire so that you may observe its manifestations."



In the first one, it is the mind/witness observing or watching thought/images.
it is the meditation, to center oneself.

In the second, once you have centered yourself, you use your heart/emotions to manifest what you feel joyful about.

"Two Kinds of Naming and Two Kinds of Desire


[...]
25. It is suggested above that there are two different kinds of naming as well as two
different kinds of desire: the positive and the negative. The positive naming and the
positive desire are those that help reveal and manifest the Tao, whereas the negative
naming and the negative desire are those that becloud and obfuscate the Tao. I will
consider the latter first.


A. Negative Naming and Negative Desire



[...]



27. The naming you apply when you make an evaluative distinction such as the good and
the bad, the beautiful and the ugly is taken to be negative. For example, Chuang tzu
makes a sharp criticism of this kind of naming:

¶28. Men claim that Mao-ch'iang and Lady Li were beautiful, but if fish saw them
they would dive to the bottom of the stream, if birds saw them they would fly
away, and if deer saw them they would break into a run. Of these four, which
knows how to fix the standard of beauty for the world? You can never find a
fixed standard for these evaluative terms (the good and bad or the beautiful
and the ugly distinctions). They are all relative.



29. If you impose your own standard of the beautiful and the ugly on others, it necessarily
creates conflicts among people. For each one is different in his/her judgment of the
beautiful and the ugly. Besides, by imposing a certain standard and thus implicitly
programming people to perceive things in a certain way, unhealthy and unnatural
cravings are provoked as well, and the result is competition and disharmony. You
may see this phenomenon in everyday mass media influence, for instance. That is to
say, it is a kind of naming that does not have a positive impact on people's lives. The
same can be said about the good and the bad. So, Lao Tzu says,

¶30. When all under heaven know beauty as beauty,
already there is ugliness;

When everyone knows goodness,
this accounts for badness.



31. Secondly, the naming you apply when you make a discriminating judgment between
right and wrong, true and false
, etc., is taken to be negative as well. It is a kind of
judgment which is most likely to end up in hopeless disputations which have no
ending, according to Chuang tzu:

¶32. People suppose that words are different from the peeps of baby birds, but is
there any difference, or isn't there? What does the Way rely upon, that we have
true and false? What do words rely upon, that we have right and wrong? How
can the Way go away and not exist? How can words exsist and not be
acceptable? When the Way relies on little accomplishments and words rely on
vain show, then we have the rights and wrongs of the Confucians the the
Moists. What one calls right the other calls wrong; what one calls wrong the
other calls right. But if we want to right their wrongs and wrong their rights,
then the best thing to use is clarity


[...]
So, Chuang Tzu says above that, "if we want to right their
wrongs and wrong their rights, then the best thing to use is clarity." We must ask
however what Chuang Tzu means by "clarity." I think Chuang Tzu means by clarity
to see things from the Tao's perspective. From the Tao's perspective or from the axis
of the Tao, no such distinctions or discriminations arise
. No distinction between the
good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly, the right and the wrong, the true and the
false, etc. Everything is one (or, united) from the Tao's perspective. Chuang Tzu calls
this the "Heavenly Equality":

[...]
37. The ten thousand things all come from the same seed, and with their different
forms they give place to one another. Beginning and end are part of a single
ring and no one can comprehend its principle. This is called Heaven the
Equalizer, which is the same as the Heavenly Equality.

38. But waiting for one shifting voice to pass judgment on another is the same as
waiting for none of them
. Harmonize them all with the Heavenly Equality,
leave them to their endless changes, and so live out your years. What do I
mean by harmonizing them with the Heavenly Equality? Right is not right; so
is not so.
If right were really right, it would differ so clearly from not right that
there would be no need for argument. If so were really so, it would differ so
clearly from not so that there would be no need for argument. Forget the years;
forget distinctions. Leap into the boundless and make it your home!"


40. When the Way is lost,
afterward comes integrity.
When integrity is lost,
afterward comes humaneness.
When humaneness is lost,
afterward comes righteousness.
When righteousness is lost,
afterward comes etiquette.
Therefore, When the great Way was forsaken,
there was humaneness and righteousness;
When cunning and wit appeared,
there was great falsity;
When the six family relationships lacked harmony,
there were filial peity and parental kindness;
When the state and royal house were in disarray,
there were upright ministers.

==> that is so much our today's society
and for an analytical person, it is exactly like this: we enter into labelling. that is really the lowest of the low. 
for as it is written, it only is a show of human cunning wit, a great falsity. 
this has to come to an end. and till one hang onto it, one is bound to be drown with it.
-petals1000uk

41. Now, the naming of this negative sort (i.e., the sort invented by humans) provokes
desires of the same sort as well. That is to say, the desires provoked by this kind of
naming are not the kind of desires the possession of which make you observe the
manifestations of the Tao. Namely, they are not rooted in and derived from the Tao.
On the contrary, they are the kind of desires the possession of which keep you from
understanding and experiencing the Tao. And just as this negative naming has its
roots not in the Tao but in humans, so do these desires have their roots not in the Tao
but in humans. In Chuang Tzu's words, they are "the human," not "the heavenly":

 42. 'What do you mean by the heavenly and the human?' Jo of the North Sea said,
'Horses and oxen have four feet-this is what I mean by the heavenly. Putting a
halter on the horse's head, piercing the ox's nose-this is what I mean by the
human....'



 To sum up, both the naming and the desire that originate from and are motivated by
humans, not from the Tao, have a negative impact on human life by beclouding and
obstructing the Tao.


B. Positive Naming and Positive Desire

44. As I have mentioned earlier, Lao Tzu suggests on the one hand that the named has its
origin in the Tao:
 

45. The nameless is the origin of the myriad creatures;
the named is the mother of the myriad creatures.
...
Both of these derive from the same source.
==> this is why separation of people is taking place on this earth. and at the end a wall of separation will divide them both. most probably, division between those who used the motherly way to name (positive desires = heaven)and those who used the human way to name (negative desires = hell)


¶46. On the other hand, he also suggests that desire has its root in the Tao:
Aways be without desire in order to observe its wondrous subtleties;
Always have desire so that you may observe its manifestations,



48. What is the kind of naming and desire that has its origin in the Tao, not in humans?
How does that kind leave a positive impact on human life? How can we distinguish
the one from the other?

 Let us try now to identify the naming and the desire of this
kind, first. I have said above that the naming that issues from distinction or
discrimination making, such as good and bad, beautiful and ugly, right and wrong,
true and false, etc., does not originate from the Tao but from humans, and is likely to
cause disharmony and wrangling. Accordingly, they are to be excluded here.

¶49. What, then, is the kind of naming that does not have its root in humans? The names
used, for instance, to designate one's role or function in family such as father, mother,
son, daughter, etc., or in society such as ruler, minister, teacher, etc., belong to this
category, I would submit. It seems obvious to me that they are not the mere arbitrary
product of human convention. They transcend time and space and apply universally.
Applying these names do not cause disharmony, wrangling, or disputation as the
other kinds do. In other words, they do not have their roots in humans.


 ==>Very true. Once looking for Truth, i sought where certainty exists in my vocabulary,
which transcend cultures. or upon which all agree.
and i found the word "tree". For me the tree is a word that everyone agrees on in France.
ask anyone he tells you it is a tree. there is no dispute nor argumentation.
and i wondered how to get and extend this certainly to my whole life.
so, i sought, how we end up calling a tree a tree? where did it come from this certain naming?

this reminds me of this :

And He taught Adam the names of all things; then He placed them before the angels, and said: “Tell me the names of these if you are truthful.”

They said: “Glory be to You! We possess no knowledge save what You have taught us. Indeed, You alone are All-Knowing, the Wise.”

He said: “O Adam! Inform them of their names.” When he had informed them, Allah said: “Did I not tell you that I know what is unseen in the heavens and on Earth, and I know what you reveal and what you hide?” [Sūrah al-Baqarah: 31-33] 


so it came from a source of knowledge within, that we had forgotten.
it has been long then, we have been cut from our inside knowledge.

as for the quote, isn't it pretty? you have references everywhere. Rarely, i had seen a writer talking of "Names" yet it is those that we use to form our vision of life.

but at the same time, if we look at our today's society, what was a heavenly law of a father and a mother,
now we try to label a man as a mother in homosexual couples.
i think human kind like to destroy its own heritage, the one that is ingrain in him.
to create confusion what for?
because as it was refered into the text above, wrong labelling, from them are born wrong desires
and now these same desires demand : ) to pass from human to heavenly legitimity.
but that is a border which will burn these demands to ashes. due to their own origination which is human.
never a human can pass heavenly border, if it bears in himself discrimination.
it is said in the Kingdom of heaven you have to bear unity in yourself.
and it starts with your position inside of you, where you stand? on that central axis talken of in this articule,
the middle channel name given in sahaja yoga for your subtle system, the Rope of Allah in the quran, the Middle path in all religions.

cut the rope, try to battle with the power on the central axis, and you are brought to ashes.
for you are cutting your own life vein. it is heaven that nourishes all that is under it. human as well.
-note petals1000uk

50. Incidentally, these are also the kinds of names Confucius employed when he
propounded the doctrine of the rectification of names. According to Confucius, names
(ming) of this kind have their corresponding actualities (shih). This means, in turn,
that names (or words) are not a mere collection of sounds but have an intrinsic power.
It is important therefore that we apply correct names so that their corresponding
actualities can be realized. A wrong or an incorrect application of names (words)
would definitely interfere with the intrinsic connection between the names and the
actualities, and accordingly bring about confusion and disorder on people's lives.


For example, the word "father" has its corresponding actuality, i.e., its essential meaning,
which is to show a deep affection toward his children.
It is important, therefore, for a
person to be called "father" to fulfill his fatherly role (or function), namely, to show a
deep affection toward his children. Only when he fulfills this essential role, he
deserves to be called "father."
And the result is manifested in peace and harmony of
the families. Now, peace and harmony are some of the essential features of the Tao,
or, alternatively, the Tao manifests itself into peace and harmony. In other words,
when names are correctly applied, the Tao manifests itself.
When a person called
"father" does not fulfill his role and thus does not meet the actuality (essence) of the
word, however, you can see the result in conflict, struggle, and disharmony of the
family members, which is actually nothing other than the beclouding or the negation
of the Tao.
The same is true in the cases of "king," "minister," "husband," "wife,"
etc.; namely, all the names of this category work this way. Confucius emphasized and
used this principle on the art of governing on this ground. The point I am driving at
here is that the names of this kind have their roots in the Tao so that by using those
names correctly we can eventually see the Tao manifest itself and produce a positive
impact, such as peace and harmony, on human life.

==>beclouding of the Tao = this is what is called "Giving Lie to the Truth".
-petals1000uk


51. As regards positive desire which has the root in the Tao, I will use the same example
above. To fulfill one's role as "father" (or, to show a deep affection toward one's
children as "father") is not only an obligation, but also a desire, a natural instinct, or,
alternatively, a heavenly impulse
in Chuang Tzu's term, I would think. A true "father"
desires to fulfill his fatherly role. The same is true about other names of this category
such as "king," "minister," "husband," "wife," "older brother," "younger brother," etc.
A true "king" has a natural heavenly desire to be kingly, namely, to rule one's people
with benevolence
; a true "minister" has a natural desire to serve his ruler with
faithfulness, etc. Now, to fulfill the desire of this kind is to fulfill the Tao. In other
words, one experiences the Tao by following one's true desire (of this kind). They are
therefore the kind of naming and desire that does not becloud the Tao; on the
contrary, they manifest the Tao.

52. Another kind of naming, or rather saying, which is rooted in the Tao, helps the Tao
manifest itself, and guides one to experience the Tao is Chuang Tzu's "goblet words."
Chuang Tzu divides words into three kinds: imputed words, repeated words, and
goblet words. The repeated words are the words that are intended to put an end to
argument. For they are the words of the elders, and have authority. They work seven
times out of ten. The imputed words are the words that you utter by lodging yourself
temporarily at the other person's standpoint for the purpose of exposition. They are
effective nine times out of ten. The goblet words are the words that come forth day
after day, harmonizing things in the Heavenly Equality: "With these goblet words ... I
harmonize all things in the Heavenly Equality, leave them to their endless changes,
and so live out my years." According to Graham, "goblet" is "a kind of vessel
designed to tip and right itself when filled too near the brim," and the name, "goblet
words" is taken from it.


53. I would think that the goblet words have their roots in the Tao because they are the
words uttered when one follows wu-wei, the mode of action of the Tao. They are not
the words intentionally prepared, pre-meditated, calculated, planned, or reflected.
Rather, they are the words of natural spontaneity. They come into being when one
just follows the flow of each situation and responds to it. Because they are not the
words pre-meditated, reflected, calculated, etc., the speaker immediately forgets the
words once he has transmitted his meaning:

==>i find that naming "goblet words" very beautiful. in a way, a human being when an empty vessel, does receive this kind of heavenly water to be filled with and once given forget that which with which he had been filled. 
it is a pretty image, that of a stream. a stream is meant to come and go. and it does not hurt, for it flows.
and you do not see its traces except in what it has manifested when passing through you.
-petals note.

54. The fish trap exists because of the fish; once you've gotten the fish, you can
forget the trap. The rabbit snare exists because of the rabbit; once you've
gotten the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words exist because of meaning;
once you've gotten the meaning, you can forget the words. Where can I find a
man who has forgotten words so I can have a word with him?

==> lol i think i like this writer, such a sane common sense.
Where can I find a
man who has forgotten words so I can have a word with him?

==>it is like  one is in search of people who be these kinds of goblets, receptacles
so that one stream, oups human being (but is there then any distinction between human and heavenly at this point? no for sure it is all the same)... so yes, that one stream meets another.

that is real love 
when you are a stream merging into another one.
but it is impossible, if the other one does not wish to be heavenly
because he is fighting to keep the title/the naming/the wording 
instead of keeping the nectar of the meaning where he could only 
make it sweeter by sharing it.

i remember here vine maker or even coffee maker always make their best coffees 
by mixing many from many areas or countries. 
first it has surprised me when i learned this. 
but it is true that a sea is only made of streams of rivers 
and it is not a stagnant one, but has to receive running waters 

True Life cannot be lived by jailing ourselves to a counterpart or a society 
which wish to stick to his own human views
it HAS to be a heavenly stream. 

"O Mankind, We created you from a single pair of a male and a female and made
you into nations and tribes, so that you may know one another. Verily the most
honored of you in the sight of God is he who is the most righteous of you" (Quran
49:13).


==> again it echoes what the writer wrote :
Where can I find a
man who has forgotten words so I can have a word with him?


WHERE?

WHERE CAN I FIND A MAN WHO HAS FORGOTTEN WORDS
SO THAT 
I CAN HAVE A WORD WITH HIM?

55. In brief, the goblet words are the words of the Tao that take the highest place in
Chuang Tzu's hierarchy of words. By uttering them, one practices wu-wei and
experiences the Tao.

¶56. Along the same line, it seems to me, Chuang Tzu emphasizes that it is neither silence
nor words that can express the Tao. For, the goblet words (or the words of the Tao)
are free from both silence and words. As the words that have the form of sounds and
meaning, the goblet words are certainly not silence, but they are very different from
the ordinary words which are produced by wei, i.e., premeditation, reflection,
calculation, etc.:

¶57. The perfection of the Way and things-neither words nor silence are worthy of
expressing it. Not to talk, not to be silent-this is the highest form of debate.
 


==>this i could only see it in the eyes of heavenly persons. 
it is only through the eyes that all is said without words and yet is not silence.
yes and this is why you just need to look into the eyes of the person 
to know if you are meeting Freedom or not
if you attach yourself to a society which is only human-based, then 
it will be your house, jail.
but i prefer House of God to the human made ones.
Remember a house/building is first created in the mind as thought
before becoming "real" or manifesting itself on the physical plane.
so if you can already see it or not in the eyes, then why bothering expecting that which 
you cannot change. you canNOT change a person, you can only CHOOSE your society.

 -petals

58. That is to say, what is important is neither silence nor words, but to talk in a worthy
manner following wu-wei and become one with the Tao:

¶59. If you talk in a worthy manner, you can talk all day long and all of it will
pertain to the Way. But if you talk in an unworthy manner, you can talk all day
long and all of it will pertain to mere things.

¶60. You can follow the Tao, sometimes through silence (or, words of no-words), and
sometimes through words, depending on the context.

IV. Conclusion¶61. I have shown in this paper that the Taoist view of Language cannot be taken to be
completely negative.
The negative view of language is relevant only to the kind of
naming (and also of desire) that originates from humans. But there is also the kind of
naming (and desire) that originates from the Tao. By uttering the words (and fulfilling
the desire) of this kind, we actually experience the Tao itself. In other words, the
words (and desire) of this kind are the very tools through which the Tao manifests
itself in the world of myriad creatures. All that matters is therefore to pick up these
words and talk in a worthy manner.

¶62. Unfortunately, however, such words-the words of the Tao or the words talked in a
worthy manner-are not easy to find: "Lofty words make no impression on the minds
of the mob. Superior words gain no hearing because vulgar words are in the
majority." Nevertheless, there are such words. According to Chuang Tzu, they are
complete, universal, and all-inclusive. They are, unlike little words which are
shrill and quarrelsome, clear and limpid. By uttering these words, we experience
the Tao and are united with the Tao.

That is my CHOICE of 
what a heavenly society FEELS like.
And that is my DESIRE for it.

It is FREE, it does not jail you in human made forms
and it is where adventure lies.
It is where eyes can linger on.
Though no words, silence is not, 
but ALL IS SAID
in the eyes.

Rift

When you are hit by the waves of the sea
suddenly you get amnesic as to what to do
life saving action is always on the spot yet.

vaguely, you remember to bring attention on top of head
and just watch the thoughts or the events as they come


you realise that your meditative attention span is no more than a few seconds
nothing really helpful
if you consider that the bigger the wave, the more lasting your attention should be.

so instead you have even to fight to keep a meditation mood
while already a good part of you is already gone somewhere else outside
trying to fix it
somehow you are in a horrible situation
with one foot on each side of a rift.

ideally, solution is to do that hour of walking meditation
to not fall for negative feelings
and somehow, remember you are the beauty within,
the pure spirit within.

and then project
as a child project his joy to receive what he wishes for.

but that is theory,
not true unless proven contrary by deeds.

it is very strange approach, that of life.
you forsake everything for Truth or perfect balance
and once you see a bit the way towards it
you have to go back to that which you left
to manifest it.

what's the point?

whole point was always to find the way of the Power within
where balance lies

to manifest your wishes thus in a sane way.


thing is that you have forgotten what your wishes are now.

Changes and sufferings

So there is always change around

your duty is not to criticise - he is doing right or wrong
let him  busy himself with his own affairs
yours is to keep watch on the heart

the mistake that we do in front of changes
is to put mind instead of heart in use
the mind which is tied to concepts
hence duality (good vs bad)
will lead you to judgement and thus make you belong to the world of concepts
and concepts die and make you die along with them (for you choose to belong to their world...)
and you suffer

the heart is meant to witness the changes
ON THE SPOT
and ultimately when it keeps doing that
THEN
the mind knows Truth :

"'Inconstancy' refers to the heart as it moves from its labels. When you see this, watch it again & again, right at the moving. [watching is the moving meditation]. When all external objects have faded away, the Dhamma will appear. When you see that Dhamma, you recover from mental unrest. The mind then won't be attached to dualities. Just this much truth can end the game. Knowing not-knowing: That's the method for the heart.

Once we see through inconstancy, the mind-source stops creating issues. All that remains is the primal mind, true & unchanging. Knowing the mind-source brings release from all worry & error. If you go out to the mind-ends, you're immediately wrong."

[...]

"The heart stays, tamed, near the mind-source, Thinking, yet not dwelling on its thoughts. The nature of the mind is that it has to think, But when it senses the mind-source it's released from its sorrows, secluded from disturbances, & still."

[...]

"The mind knows itself from the motion of the song. The mind's knowledge of the motion is simply adjacent mind-moments. In fact, they can't be divided: They're all one & the same. When the mind is two, that's called sañña entangling things."

"When the heart sees its own decayings, it's released from darkness. It loses its taste for them, and abandons its doubts. It stops searching for things within & without. Its attachments all fall away. It leaves its loves & hates, whatever weighs it down. It can end its desires, its sorrows all vanish — together with the weighty cares that made it moan — as if a shower of rain were to refresh the heart. The cool heart is realized by the heart itself. The heart is cool for it has no need to wander around, looking at people. Knowing the mind-source in the present, it's unshakeable & unconcerned with any good or evil, for they must pass away, with all other impediments. Perfectly still, the mind-source neither thinks nor interprets. It stays only with its own affairs: no expectations, no need to be entangled or troubled, no need to keep up its guard. Sitting or lying down, one thinks at the source-mind: 'Released.'"

Dil kyun yeh mera shor kare
Dil kyun yeh mera shor kare
Idhar nahin udhar nahin
Teri ore chale
 
Why does my heart make noise?
It does not go here and there
It goes just towards you
 
Dil kyun yeh mera shor kare
Idhar nahin udhar nahin
Teri ore chale

Zara der mein yeh kya ho gaya
Nazar milte hi kahan kho gaya
Zara der mein yeh kya ho gaya
Nazar milte hi kahan kho gaya
 
 
What has happened in such a short time?
Where is it lost just after the eyes met?
 
Bheed mein logon ki woh hai wahan
Aur pyaar ke mele mein akela
Kitna hoon main yahan
 It is in the crowd of people somewhere else
While I am alone in the fare of love here
 
Dil kyun yeh mera shor kare
Dil kyun yeh mera shor kare
Idhar nahin udhar nahin
Teri ore chale

Shuru ho gayi kahani meri
Mere dil ne baat na maani meri
Shuru ho gayi kahani meri
Mere dil ne baat na maani meri
 
My tale has started
My heart did not do as I told
 
Hadd se bhi aagey yeh guzar hi gaya
Khud bhi pareshaan hua
Mujhko bhi yeh kar gaya
 
It crossed all limits
It itself became tense
And it rendered me tense as well
 
Dil kyun yeh mera shor kare
Dil kyun yeh mera shor kare
Idhar nahin udhar nahin
Teri ore chale

The Path of Light within without

Raiponce - I see the Light

Wonderful staff who made this movie, such beautiful hearts pouring out their insight of inner Self.

I - am- amazed. They were most probably singing their heartfelt wishes for every viewer to believe it too.





Raiponce - Je Veux y Croire

~Raiponce~
Tout ce temps, cachée dans mes pensées
Tout ce temps sans jamais y croire
Tant d'années si loin de ce monde
Et de la vérité

Me voilà sous le ciel étoilé
Je suis là et soudain je vois
L'avenir s'est éclairé
Ma vie est à l'endroit

Et je suis tout éblouie
Car enfin la brume s'est levée
Et je suis tout éblouie
Les lumières scintillent partout
L'air est doux, je me réjouis
De sentir le monde avancer
Maintenant tout semble différent
Je veux croire en vous

~Flynn~
Tout ce temps à rêver jour et nuit
Tout ce temps à chasser l'ennui
Tant d'années sans voir ni comprendre
Le monde et la vraie vie

Elle est là, sous le ciel étoilé
Je la vois et soudain je sais
L'avenir s'est éclairé
Je devine où je vais

~Les deux~
Et je vois dans ce regard

~Flynn~
Que le voile enfin s'est levé

~Les deux~
Et je vois dans ce regard

~Raiponce~
Que les lumières brillent pour nous

~Les deux~
Et dans la douceur du soir
Je sens que le monde a changé
Maintenant tout semble différent
Je veux croire en vous
Je veux croire en nous

I want to believe in it

[Rapunzel]

All this time, hidden in my thoughts
All this time, never believing it
So many years, so far from this world and from the truth
Here I am, under the starry sky
I am here, and suddenly I see
The future has become clearer, my life is the right way up!

And I am quite dazzled
For the mist has cleared up
And I am quite dazzled
The lights twinkle everywhere
The air is mild, I'm delighted
To feel the world moving forward
Now everything seems different
I want to believe in you.


[Flynn]

All this time, dreaming night and day
All this time, dispelling boredom
So many years, not seeing nor understanding
The world and the real life
She is here, under the starry sky
I see her and suddenly I know
The future has become clearer, I can tell where I'm going!

 
[Rapunzel & Flynn]
And I can see in those eyes


[Flynn]
That the veil has been lifted at last
[Rapunzel & Flynn]
And I can see in those eyes
[Rapunzel]
That the lights are shining for us

[Rapunzel & Flynn]
And in the evening's softness
I feel that the world has changed
Now, everything seems different
I want to believe in you
I want to believe in us.

The Only Mirror

As we are all one spirit
this very spirit is the essence, the source
and we as individuality are its manifestation
each different from each other

we can see our self in each other eyes
but if these clear and limpid eyes are gone
where is the mirror?
how can one see ourselves any longer?

how many people have polished their mirror enough
so that they may reflect us
in most of them our image is distorted
and we cannot recognise ourselves in them

but in the eyes of the spirit
where the mirror has been so much polished
that only your own reflection is seen as in a lake
you can dive into those eyes
you can look into the mirror
to polish your own.

if such eyes are gone
where is the mirror
so that i see myself in them?

Chest of Peace

What is Peace?
to feel contented whatever happen

at the same time you want things to happen
yet they are delayed
due to some mismatch that you cannot encompass
they are indeed delayed

but you cannot hold your breathe
till they happen.
you cannot go on holding your peace
for them.

may be best is to see them as happened already
projecting in front of your own eyes
that they happened
as you wished them to be

and truth is that they happened
in another world
in another dimension

it is just that for now your eyes are veiled from them
may be veils are well-timed
so that you strive on your own to reach that very place of happening
where past and future exist not
where everything is already present.

this place is for sure a well-guarded jewel box
where you can put all of your treasured wishes
so that you never lost them
and thus you find your contentment
and peace again.

River Bed

Both sides of the river bed
are so near
but they never meet

it is likewise with our both channels,
the right and left channels
the one of thoughts and the other of emotions
the solar and the lunar one...

It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon, nor can the Night outstrip the Day: Each (just) swims along in (its own) orbit (according to Law).
Quran [36:40]


they never meet

hence the suffering
when man stick to thoughts and emotions created by him and can NEVER
divide himself in two
for he is ONE in Spirit
yes, there was only ONE spirit breathed by Allah within Adam (pbuh)

but then,
what are these two channels for?

look not right nor left
but look within
what is filling the space between both channels?

it is the Middle Path/channel
and that is the stream of light
the WATER of the river
CONTAINED by both river SIDES

so you have to surrender INTO that Stream of waters
that is to be One with the Spirit

Only Truth remains

During meditations
we are supposed to WATCH the thoughts

it means neither to block them
to stay with energy
nor to follow them however attractive path they describe,
towards your progress

an Amerindian grandfather said to his grandson
within are two enemies who battle with each other
the son asked, which one wins?
he answered the one you feed the most [i.e. with your attention!]

thus at one point, one realises strikingly
that we are Someone watching thoughts
and we are no more them.

even if we say it with words
it is NOT true, unless you FELT it, or SENSED this dis-association.

and what happens when you let thoughts come and go?
they are no more being fed
thus they lose power/control over you
and are gone...
like dust.

it is said,
if you wish to know whether something is true or false
then remember
that only Truth REMAINS
while falsehood passes away, fades away

this is why it is said that shaitan lead men to attractive paths
but once he faces the Power of God
he leaves, saying to the servant he misled "i leave you there, as for me, i fear my Lord"
for falsehood never remains

and if you are associated with it
meaning, if you equals yourself with it
then you BECOME it
and as thoughts are MEANT to perish
as waves die in the ocean
you perish with them
hence the loss you feel

but if you watch the waves dying in the ocean
that is another beautiful spectacle, isn't it?
thus the state of WITNESS ( Ash- Shaheed) is the ONE sought after
not the one of the slave (of thoughts and emotions)

once you have reached the state of dis-association from thoughts (=do not associate gods with Me)
and KNOW you are NOT them (= la illaha = there is no god)
then TRUTH remains -UNCLOUDED- for you to SEE
there is ONLY ONE (ill Allah)

but those who meditate not
they let thoughts to accumulate themselves
as sedimentation happens in river bed
and what was before only an immaterial thought
becomes your physical condition
which can only decay and never be everlasting.


as it is said in quran,
surah al israa (=The Ascension) :

Say [to the people] that the Spirit of Truth has come and falsehood has vanished.

Qur'an [17: 82]

and that,

Everything will perish, save His Face.” Quran [28:88]

From the interpretation of Ibn Kathīr: And God, the Most High's statement that “Everything will perish save His Face” shows that He is the Eternal, the Everlasting, the Ever-Living and the Self-Existent, who does not die while all of creation will die. As God, the Most High said “Everything on this earth will perish, but forever will abide the Face of your Lord, full of Might and Glory”, and ‘Face’ denotes the Being (of Allāh).

and
are thoughts not our creation ?

is not a skyscraper a thought initially? which has been fed enough to become a repetitive idea, then a decision and then a design on paper and finally a building?

it means not, "do not think",
but means do NOT IDENTIFY yourself with/nor love/nor devote your life for thoughts
that YOU have created!
they are only a creation of yours
and act as waves :
they come and GO.

but seek something ETERNAL, EVER-LASTING
which WAS, IS and WILL EVER BE
and that is YOUR TRUE NATURE.

The Pure Spirit breathed by Allah in Adam.
This is The Light of His in us

and those who seek, find :

O you who believe! whoever from among you turns back from his religion, then Allah will bring a people,
He shall love them and they shall love Him,
lowly before the believers,
mighty against the unbelievers,
 they shall strive hard in Allah's way and shall not fear the censure of any censurer;
this is Allah's Face,
He gives it to whom He pleases, and Allah is Ample-giving, Knowing.
Quran [5:54]


Everything will perish, save His Face ...
