No interpretation is needed

[Guest guest]

There is always a tendency in the mind to personify its

functions. For the last two days there is been a sense of

a large presence everywhere. When looking outward is

there, when looking inward is also there. Despite, that

it brings a sense of great silence and emptiness, the

mind wishes to brand it as something solid which bears a

name, such as Self, That, or whatever. The mind has that

inclination, but thoughts seem like a pile of ashes blown

by the wind, they can' stick to the presence. They fall

silent, and the mind comtemplates it with the intuition

that it includes everything.

 

No interpretation is needed, all interpretations are

false. It could be called Buddha Nature, and it won't

change a thing, or called, Christ, or This, and not a

thing would be added, or taken away. All names and

thoughts about it seem useless.
