LIFE LOOKS SO RICH,TREMENDOUS UNIQUINESS

LIFE LOOKS SO RICH, INFINITELY RICH

               Hakim Sanai says:

WE TRIED REASONING

IT DIDN’T WORK;

BUT THE MOMENT WE GAVE UP,

NO OBSTACLE REMAINED.

OUT OF KINDNESS: HOW ELSE

REASON TOOK US AS FAR AS THE DOOR;

BUT IT WAS HIS PRESENCE THAT LET US IN.

AS LONG AS YOU ARE UNABLE

TO KNOW YOURSELF?

ONCE ONE IS ONE,

NO MORE, NO LESS:

ERROR BEGINS WITH DUALITY;

UNITY KNOWS NO ERROR.

THE ROAD YOUR SELF MUST JOURNEY ON

LIES IN POLISHING THE MIRROR OF YOUR HEART.

IT IS NOT BY REBELLION AND DISCORD

THAT THE HEART’S MIRROR IS POLISHED FREE

OF THE RUST OF HYPOCRISY AND UNBELIEF:

YOUR MIRROR IS POLISHED BY YOUR CERTITUDE –

BY THE UNALLOYED PURITY OF YOUR FAITH.BREAK FREE

.

THE BODY IS DARK – THE HEART IS SHINING BRIGHT

THE BODY IS MERE COMPOST – THE HEART A BLOOMING GARDEN.

A rose flower does not have to be compared with other rose flowers; it exists in its own right. It has no reference to any other rose that has been on the earth or will ever be on the earth. It is individual, authentically individual.

Then look at each person as authentically individual. And then life looks so rich, infinitely rich, because it exists of tremendous uniqueness. Our comparison dulls our mind, our comparison

Gathers dust on the mirror of our consciousness

These words are saturated with bliss.

This is how this great book was born,

WE TRIED REASONING

OUR WAY TO HIM:

IT DIDN’T WORK;

BUT THE MOMENT WE GAVE UP,

NO OBSTACLE

Hakim Sanai says:

WE TRIED REASONING

IT DIDN’T WORK...

It cannot work, it is intrinsically inadequate. Logic cannot conclude about the unknowable. Logic moves into the world of the known; logic cannot take a quantum leap into the unknown. Have you not observed it? Your mind can think only about the known. How will you think about the unknown? If it is unknown, there is no way to think about it. Thinking is based on the known. That’s why thinking is repetitive, it moves in a circle. Yes, it can go on refining the known – it can go on refining it more and more, it can go on polishing the known – but it can never come to know the Unknown. At the most, it can guess about the unknown. But guesswork is guesswork; it can never become certainty. It will never give you faith, it can’t become trust, because deep down you know it is ages: it may be so, it may not be so. It cannot become a rock on which the temple of life can be raised. No, it remains doubtful. Every guess is rooted in doubt: perhaps it is so, perhaps it is not so. And there are three layers of existence. One is the known: a very small, lighted part; a lighted spot, very small, that we have come to know. Then surrounding it is the infinite unknown, a great night of darkness. But about the unknown we can have a few guesses, we can infer, because the known and the unknown are not qualitatively different. That which is known today was unknown yesterday, and that which is unknown today may become known tomorrow. So the known and the unknown correlate; they are of the same family.

Gratitude from Hakim Sanai to that strange madman, Lai-Khur.
