You Are the Fullness of Love & the Emptiness of Awareness

[Guest guest]

"Before the beginning you are pure Consciousness.

You are the Fullness of Love in Love

and the Emptiness of Awareness.

You are Existence and the Peace beyond peace.

You are that screen on which all is projected.

You are the Light of Knowledge,

the One who gave the concept of creation to the creator.

Forget what can be forgotten and know yourself

to be that which can never be forgotten.

You are the substratum on which everything moves, let it move.

You are Now, you are Nowness:

what "I" is there which can be out of this Now?

You are Truth and only Truth Is."

 

~Papaji

 

 

Form is empty.

Emptiness is form.

 

The activity of form is not

other than emptiness,

nor is the action of emptiness

other than form.

 

It's the same with feeling,

knowing, conception, and

consciousness.

 

Dear One, in this way

all dharmas are empty,

without any qualification,

not existing,

not ceasing,

without bondage or

liberation from bondage,

undiminished,

limitless.

 

Dear One, in this way,

in emptiness

there is no form,

no feeling,

no knowing,

no conception,

no consciousness.

 

There is

no eye,

no ear,

no nose,

no tongue,

no body,

no mind,

no shape,

no sound,

no color,

no flavor,

no feeling,

no space.

 

There is no

center of vision,

no center of mind,

no center to reference

interpretation of perception.

 

No ignorance,

no transition from ignorance to

the end of ignorance,

no aging and death,

no end of aging and death.

 

It's the same for

suffering,

misery

sin,

nivana.

 

There is

no path,

no wisdom,

no enlightenment,

no non-enlightenment.

 

Dear One, in this way

all buddhas --

realizing nothing,

anchored in the Heart --

are clear,

fearless.

 

They are not

the one confused,

they are not

the one suffering.

 

They are Free.

 

There's a saying:

 

"Gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi swaha."

 

This is how

the Compassionate One --

Beloved --

whispers from the Heart.

If we talk of knowing the Self, there must be two selves,

one a knowing self, another the self which is known, and the

process of knowing. The state we call realisation is simply

being oneself, not knowing anything or becoming anything.

If one has realised, one is that which alone is and

which alone has always been. One cannot describe that state.

One can only be that. Of course, we loosely talk of Self-

realisation, for want of a better term. How to 'real-ise'

or make real that which alone is real?
