Emptiness

Where there is choice there can be no discernment, for discernment is choiceless. Where there is choice and the capacity to choose, there is only limitation. Only when choice ceases is there liberation, fullness, richness of action, which is life itself. Creation is choiceless, as life is choiceless, as understanding is choiceless. Likewise is truth; it is a continuous action, an everbecoming, in which there is no choice. It is pure discernment We think we are free when we choose; but we are not, are we? Where there is choice, there is no freedom because that very choice springs from our conditioned state. We think we have a will of our own, and we exercise that will through choice. But, if you observe, you will see that will is the outcome of innumerable desires, of many forms of frustration, fears; and these frustrations, fears, desires are the outcome of our conditioning, of our background; so when we choose, we are never free. Choice in itself indicates the lack of freedo...

K: Yes. Say for instance ‘X’ says there is such a ground. And all of us, ‘Y’ and ‘Z’, say, what is that ground, prove it, show it, let it manifest itself? When we ask such questions, is it with a mind that is seeking, or rather that has this passion, this love for truth? Or are we merely saying let’s talk about it? DB: I think that in that mind there is the demand for certainty; we want to be sure . So there is no enquiring. K: Suppose you state that there is such a thing, that there is the ground; it is immovable, etc. And I say, I want to find out. Show it, prove it to me. How can my mind, which has evolved through knowledge, which has been highly disciplined in knowledge, even touch that ? Because that is not knowledge, it is not put together by thought. DB: Yes, as soon as we say, prove it, we want to turn it into knowledge. K: That’s it! DB: We want to be absolutely certain, so that there can be no doubt. And yet, on the other side of the coin, there is also the...

    This post discuss something about living together, lonely dead. In the old day somewhere like in SEA or East Asia when the whole family member living together, the neighbours and the whole village are living in very close relationship. Inside each family, the relation between grandparent, uncle ... is close too. Whatever conflict and/or tension between family member, neighbour or between village, at the end the relationship seem good. In the tradition, when a people die, often whole village will attend ceremony and carry him or her to graveyard whatever the conflict, hatred between two people or family.      Town and Country.

LIFE AHEAD PART ONE CHAPTER 13 What I am saying in all these talks is not something to be merely remembered. It is not intended that you should try to store in your mind what you hear, to be recollected and either thought about or acted upon later. If you merely store in your mind what I am telling you, it will be nothing but memory; it won't be a living thing, something which you really understand. It is understanding that matters, not recollection. I hope you see the difference between the two. Understanding is immediate, direct, it is something which you experience intensely. But if you merely remember what you have heard, it will only serve as a pattern, a guide to be followed, a slogan to be repeated, an idea to be imitated, an ideal on which to base your life. Understanding is not a matter of remembrance. It is a continuous intensity, a constant discovery. So, if you merely remember what I am talking about, you will compare and try to modify your action or adjust it to wha...
