“The world is but a show, glittering
and empty. It is, and yet is not. It is there as long as I want to see
it and take part in it. When I cease caring, it dissolves. It has no
cause and serves no purpose. It just happens . . . It appears exactly
as it looks, but there is no depth in it, nor meaning. Only the onlooker
is real. To the Self the world is but a colourful show, which he enjoys
as long as it lasts and forgets when it is over. Whatever happens on
the stage makes him shudder in terror or roll with laughter, yet all the
time he is aware that it is but a show. Without desire or fear he
enjoys it, as it happens.”
~Sri Nisargadatta, "I AM THAT"
Today with my morning coffee I chose to be still, open and observe. In this way there is a joy regardless of what problems or tasks may come across my day. Communing with nature brings me into wholeness.
ReplyDeleteI can feel the stillness in your comment, Debra. Very zen.
