The beauty of dead ends

Dead ends are
Beautiful
Because they
Generate
The motivation
To transcend.

If it were not for
Dead ends
Help would not come.

So if
Life is frustrating you
With incessant dead ends
That's good
Because transcend.

She

Neither
You
Nor
I
Only
She.

She controls.

Happy to exist

An year old baby is
Wise
Because it's just
Happy to exist.

An year old baby is
Wise
Wiser than almost all
Adults
Because it needs no
Extra baggage
To exist.

An year old baby is
Wise,
It just doesn't know
That it's wise.
Almost like an animal.

Being an adult,
You get the opportunity
To be wise
And also know
That you are wise.

Liberation

What's the hurry
If y'all gonna gettit
Eventually?

Why the impatience?
Or anticipation
For celebration?

It's just like falling asleep
Some fall at 9
Some 12
But everyone does
And it's sweet, darn sweet
For all.

The anticipation
Can't be for liberation
Only for a sense of self.

Altruistic love

If you think
You feel altruistic love
For someone

Then next time
Pay close attention
To your "altruistic" thoughts

If you see yourself
Alongside the person
Then most probably
You are not loving the person

You are loving
An image of yourself
Enhanced by the person.

But that's all right
Just life
Chill yo :)

The burden of imagination

Things are always better
In imagination.

Because when the imagination
Becomes reality
Another imagination occludes it
Making the reality dull.

Simulation

Seems like a simulation,
Without any free will,
Without any will,
Or just one will,
It's all the same,
But don't seem like
There's anyone simulating,
Seems like you yourself
Is simulating.

Ring a bell?

Sense of self

There shouldn't
Be
A sense of self
In anything in particular.

Either
It's in everything
Or
It's in nothing.

No special moment

Why wait
for that
one special redeeming moment that'll finally define you
when you can
experience the joy
of every moment.

If not excitement...

If not excitement
Then what for Life?

The question is fair.
The answer:
Sacredness,
The depth of infinite
Sacredness.

Say no to excitement

Paradoxically
(god how much i love this word)
So yeah,
Paradoxically,
Your excitement
Is coming
In the way
Of you
And your goal.

Say no to excitement,
And the means,
Becomes the end.

The art of doing

When you do something,
Do it
As if
You are going to do it
For the rest of your life
And there's nothing
You'll get out of it
Because as you know
In the end
You're going to die
And nothing's
Going to matter.

Paradoxically,
Work produced
The aforementioned way
Is of
The highest quality.

Thank You

Thank all those,
Who've taken something from you,
Or are trying to do that,
Because when something is taken from you,
What's left is nothing or the path to it,
And that is much more precious.
Trust me.

Illusion

The best way to know
If something is an illusion :
It will fade away,
Leaving behind no trace whatsoever
Of its existence.

Just like your life. 

What is it all for?

Many a times,
I have asked myself,
What is all this for?
All the BS in the world?
All the BS people have to go through?
All the BS that is done to each other?
Why?
What are we doing here?
What is this for?
(Btw, there's an end to the BS, in case you were wondering)
So anyway, I ask myself these existential questions ---

And in return, all I get is
A big gaping hole like a black hole
Staring right back at me.
I might just get sucked into it

Process

Life is a process,
Not matter how hard you try,
There will not be any shortcuts,
You won't be able to encapsulate this process
Into laws, structure, equations, symbols, policies etc.
You won't be able to hack it, can it,
In fact, to be honest, there's nothing you can do.
Follow the process,
No better
Become the process. Surrender. 

Ego

My ego, your ego, her ego, his ego,
It don't matter.
Ego is ego, it's not anybody's,
And it needs to go. 

YouTube

Don't underestimate the power of
YouTube
It can even get you enlightened
If you're in the right circles that is 
My favorite hangout place these days is the comment section

Devotion

Verily I tell you,
Listening to philosophy (the true one) is great,
Nothing better can happen to you,
If you got access to it,
But verily I tell you,
Nothing melts the BS,
Better than devotion,
If you can open yourself up to it,
Verily, verily, verily. 

The other

Where is "the other"
If not in your thoughts,
Stop thinking for once,
And see,
Is there any other?
NO.
Then,
It just is,
Everyone just is,
One just is.

Life saver from JK

I don't mind
What happens.
(This includes everything, literally)

The importance of experience

The experience of Life
is much more important
than trying to understand it
or trying to achieve something
or trying to become something.

When you stay rooted in
the experience, every single moment,
such that there is only one moment,
and that is the now,
the paradox is,
that you know everything that is needed to know,
achieve whatever that is needed to be achieved,
and become whatever that is needed to become,
but it doesn't matter,
because the experience is
so damn good.

So whatever you're doing
experience it,
even when you're doing nothing.
(especially when you're doing nothing, actually)

Game over

The one who was playing games
Is coming out
Doesn't want to play games
No more

The architect is here
Looking at the video-game he (gender-neutral please) built

The loss of density

The greater the
Intensity
Of your judgement,

The greater the
Density
Of your thoughts,

The greater the
Accumulation
Of your beliefs,

The greater the
Certainty
Of your principles

The greater the
Belief
In the "laws"

The greater the
Righteousness
Of your righteousness

And so on
And so forth
(I'm sure you geddit by now)  

The farther away you are
From the truth.
(But you're getting there, so chill, I guess)


PS: The phrase "Don't be dense ya" bears an uncanny semblance to what i just said.

Swallow

The world appears
In front,
And asks me
To prove myself
To all.

I choose instead
To swallow you all
(It's a blissful swallow)

And so there's
Nothing left to prove. 

Freedom

The person
Doesn't become free.
Instead
You become free
From the person.

How many?

Yes,
I've heard everything,
You gotta say,
About the world, it's laws, and everybody else,
And your objections, and your likings, and what not,
But if I ask you,
Do you know anyone,
Who is truly happy?
Wait,
Pause,
How many do you think there are?

The best job

The best job in the world
Is to watch your thoughts+emotions
Then every moment
You are learning
Something true about yourself.

A simple way

Anything that is pain,
I am not.
Anything that is excitement,
I am not.

Excitement is roundabout pain.

I love you (with some caveats)

You are the ocean,
I know that,
And I love you,
Because I too am the ocean,
And we are in essence the same.

About the tiny waves you have,
In your mind,
About me or someone else,
I care not,
For those are only ripples,
Temporary, Insignificant.

So when I say "I love you"
Know that I mean
What I just said.

Two life-savers from Gautama

There is O'monks,
The unmanifested, the unborn, the uncreated, the unformed, the unknown
For if there weren't
The unmanifested, the unborn, the uncreated, the unformed, the unknown
There would be no escape from
The manifested, the born, the created, the formed, the known

and

If there weren't
Ignorance
There wouldn't be
Enlightenment.



or something like that.

Yes it's non-sense, utterly!

In your externals,

The only thing that makes sense

Is sense ---

Logic, science, rationality.

And therefore,

If anyone believes

Some other mystical lies

In this external,

Then that person

Is deceiving/deluding themselves 

& others. 

But if you can 'perceive'

Something beyond the senses,

Something that doesn't lie in the senses,

Something that doesn't make sense,

Something that is non-sense (pay attention to hyphen) 

Then that's an entirely different matter. 

And in it,

There's no delusion, deception, refuting, arguing, discussing,

Because, you see, it doesn't lie in the senses,

And therefore it won't make any sense,

Because it's non-sense.

Pimple

A pimple is a pimple
Doesn't matter if
You live in a mansion
Or if
You are homeless.

If you have a pimple,
It'll hurt.
No matter where you are. 

So what next?

People often ask me,
So what are you doing next?
And I tell them something,
"I'll be doing this or I'll be doing that,"
And I also tell myself similar stories,
"So maybe I'll do this sometime from now,"
I say to myself,
"Or maybe I'll do that after sometime."

But to be honest,
And I speak truly to you now,
And to myself,
I HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE ABOUT ANYTHING ANYTIME.
I just do what feels right,
And then see what happens,
And then I just do what feels right.

Once there is stillness,
There's no need to know anything. 

Koan #1

Lose the idea
That you know everything
And then,
You'll know everything.

Planet or Space?

You look at planets,
Big dense balls of mass,
In awe,
Hoping that someday,
You might become,
As big as them,
Obstructing everything around,
And having others,
Look upon you,
With the same awe,
Meanwhile,
Forgetting the,
Infinite vastness of space,
That has so lovingly,
Contained you,
And allowed you,
To pass through.

Such a shame.

If I were you,
I'd rather be space.  

Music

Ultimately everything is music,
The sounds you hear,
The images you watch,
The sensations you feel,
The tastes you taste,
And so on.

Everything is music,
Some just flow better,
And ease the soul,
While others obstruct,
And create contraction, suffering.

Crumble

The best thing
That can happen
To anyone
Is the
Crumbling of identity. 

Universe

There is space,
In it are objects,
They change.

This is the universe,
Outside, and inside. 

Emotions

Emotions
Personalize our experience
Taking us away
From the brilliance
Of universality. 

PS: They take over your thoughts, btw.

You

You
are
not
what
happens
in
you.

The remainder,
You are.

The truth

How does one talk about it?
It just is......
What can I say about it?
I never thought this would be it.
But it is.
The secret of the universe cannot be spoken in words.
No wonder nobody believes it.
But it is what it is.
And what can you do about it?

Oneness

To be honest,
There are only 2 perspectives,
And eventually,
The other takes over,
And only 1 remains.

Travel

Nothing is wrong or right,
You are either close to the truth,
Or you are a little far from it,
But eventually it's all pointing to the truth.

Yes all your battles, criticisms, failures, shouting matches etc.
All point to the truth.

So stop fighting over the pointers,
Instead travel towards where they point.
