Across the cosmos,
everything is nature, and everything abides in the laws of nature.
Like any flower in a
meadow, consciousness is but one of nature’s countless expressions,
And no matter how
relentlessly it might try, it will never supersede or escape the natural
bounds.
* * * *
The monkey-mind
festers in its vain intolerance of any difference it cannot abide.
The wisdom of
insecurity in the indivisibility of all things
Is the abode of the
rare few.
* * * *
You are not the body,
the mind, the breath,
The thing, the
experience, or any other.
You are the witness
to all things,
None of them all the
while.
* * * *
If you truly seek
heaven on earth,
You must fathom it
within and without
The ever-streaming
here and now.
* * * *
You can't even see
your nose clearly,
How could you
possibly see your face?
* * * *
Who is the who, who
wonders who is who?
What is the what,
what wonders what is what?
Where is the where,
where wonders where is where?
When is the when,
when wonders when is when?
Why is the why, why wonders
why is why?
How is the how, how
wonders how is how?
* * * *
The universe is an
absorbing dream.
Leave no stone that
interests you unturned,
Until the novelty of
turning of stones loses its sheen,
And you are at last
content to merely be, whatever the weather.
* * * *
True science requires
any given scientist, any given researcher,
To approach the
question, the problem, the puzzle, the hypothesis, the experiment,
With as much
objective, impartial integrity as can be mustered.
Damn the
funding. Full inquiry ahead.
