THE QUESTION AND THE QUEST ..................... It is said that there is a WORD. THE WORD is named by some, THE ONE WORD -
From this ONE WORD springs all that is, all that
is not,
By Hearing THE WORD, the illusion of Reality is
shattered,
All Masks are Realized for what they are and the
Face of Nakedness,
Here there is nothing left to know, nothing left
to attain or not attain.
Nothing is happening. Nothing ever has happened.
Nothing ever will happen.
THE ONE WORD is everywhere and nowhere, in everyone
and no one,
And in the answering is no injunction; pointless, centerless, changeless. The QUESTION co-emerges The ANSWER.
Nothing asks; nothing replies. All initiation
is
BUT WHAT IS THIS QUESTION? THE QUESTION IS THE QUESTION I ASK TO COME INTO CONSCIOUS EXPERIENCE OF NOTHING AND IT IS THE QUESTION I ASK TO GO BEYOND THE CONSCIOUS EXPERIENCE OF NOTHING; THE FIRST AND LAST THING I HEAR. IN REALITY I AM NOTHING.
WHO AM I? WHO AM I NOT? IS I ULTIMATELESS? NO-THING. NO NON-THING. NOTHING EXCLUDED/INCLUDED
WHO AM I? WHO AM I NOT? IS I ULTIMATELESS? NO COMING-INTO. NO BEING-AS. NO GOING-BEYOND. NOTHING SUBSTANTIAL. NOTHING INSUBSTANTIAL.
WHO AM I? WHO AM I NOT? IS I ULTIMATELESS? DARKNESS SILENCE STILLNESS ; THE LIGHT INEFFABLE, UNKNOWABLE, IMMUTABLE AND UNDECIDABLE. NO WORD MAY DESCRIBE OR SPEAK OF THAT I AM YET EVERY WORD IS THAT I AM. WHO AM I? WHO AM I NOT? IS I ULTIMATELESS? NO SUBJECT. NO OBJECT. NOTHING INVOLVING/EVOLVING. NOTHING DYING. NOTHING LIVING.
WHO AM I? WHO AM I NOT? IS I ULTIMATELESS? NO CAUSE. NO EFFECT.
NOTHING PERSONAL. NOTHING IMPERSONAL.
DOES THAT WHICH IS SOURCELESS EVER NEED TO BE SOUGHT? HOW HAVE I COME TO ASK THE QUESTION THAT I MAY KNOW THE FULLNESS/EMPTINESS OF THE NOTHING THAT I AM? THIS QUESTION IS NOTHING, YET HOW IS IT THAT I REQUIRE AN ANSWER IN ORDER TO KNOW THE QUESTION? WHO AM I? WHO AM I NOT? IS I ULTIMATELESS? NOTHING ATTRACTED. NOTHING REPELLED.
WHO AM I? WHO AM I NOT? IS I ULTIMATELESS? NOTHING SIGNIFICANT. NOTHING INSIGNIFICANT.
NOTHING TO TRANSGRESS. NOTHING TO FORGIVE.
WHO AM I? WHO AM I NOT? IS I ULTIMATELESS? NOTHING ASSUMING. NOTHING WITH WHICH TO FEAR OR STRUGGLE. NOTHING TO BE DISRUPTED. WHO AM I? WHO AM I NOT? IS I ULTIMATELESS? NOTHING TO AGONISM. NOTHING TO ANTAGONISM.
NOTHING TO SUBMISSION. NOTHING TO WILL.
WHO AM I? WHO AM I NOT? IS I ULTIMATELESS? NOTHING AFFIRMING. NOTHING DENYING.
NOTHING CREATING. NOTHING UNCREATING.
THE NATURE OF "I" IS CO-EMERGENCE. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING AND DOING. BEING NOTHING, NOTHING IS LEFT TO NOT BE. DOING NOTHING, NOTHING IS LEFT UNDONE. IF EVERYONE AND NO ONE IS THE ANSWER AND THE QUESTION IS CO-EMERGENT, HOW IS IT THAT THE QUESTION ISN'T ALWAYS BEING ASKED AND THE WORD ISN'T ALWAYS BEING HEARD? WHAT AM I DOING HERE? NOWHERE. WHAT CAN THE ONE WORD BE THAT I NEED TO ASK FOR IT? WHAT IS THE FUNCTION AND PURPOSE OF QUESTIONING? AND OF ANSWERING? WHO OR WHAT IS IT THAT WISHES TO KNOW SO MUCH THAT IT CALLS INTO BEING THE INFINITELY ENDLESS BEGINNINGLESS WORD, SO THAT A QUESTION MAY BE FOUND FOR IT? WHAT QUESTION MUST I ASK TO BREAK THE ILLUSION OF THE INFINITELY ENDLESS BEGINNINGLESS WORD; THE ILLUSION OF SACRIFICE? IS SUFFERING ABSOLUTE IF THERE IS NOTHING TO SUFFER?
FOR IS IT NOT THE SEARCH FOR THE ONE WORD THAT MOTIVATES AND PERPETUATES ALL THE BLISS AND SORROW, JOY AND SUFFERING OF ALL THAT IS THAT SEEMS TO BE? IS IT NOT THE QUESTION, AROUND WHICH I AND EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING CLING, THAT PERPETUATES THE ILLUSION OF THE SEARCH FOR GOD/THE SELF/REALITY? AND IS IT NOT THE FEAR/RAGE OF HEARING THE ANSWER, THAT ALONE I/EVERYONE/EVERYTHING IS NOTHING, THAT IS THE CLINGING? THE REVERBERATING CLINGING MULTITUDES OF NOTHING FOREVER SEEKING, QUESTING, SEARCHING FOR NOTHING. AND IS IT NOT THE LETTING GO OF THE CLINGING TO NOTHING THAT ALLOWS I AND EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING TO ASK THE QUESTION? NOTHING ALLOWING THE CESSATION/ATTAINMENT OF NOTHING. BUT IF THERE'S NOTHING TO CLING TO OR WITH OR FOR OR FROM, WHO IS IT THAT CLINGS? AND...WHO AM I?... NOT? IS I ULTIMATELESS? YET WITHOUT THE WORD HOW CAN THE QUESTION BE KNOWN? AND WITHOUT THE QUESTION HOW MAY THE WORD BE KNOWN? WHO AM I THAT WISHES TO KNOW? WHO AM I THAT NEEDS TO KNOW? WHO INDEED IS THERE TO KNOW? IS THERE A QUESTION NOTHING CAN KNOW? IS THERE A QUESTION NOTHING CAN ASK? WHO AM I THAT NOTHING MAY ASK? AND IF UTTER INDEFINABLE MEANINGLESSNESS IS THAT WHICH GIVES MEANING TO ALL; AND IF NOTHING IS CONSCIOUSNESS OR UNCONSCIOUSNESS, OR BOTH NOR NEITHER OR OTHERWISE; AND IF NOTHING IS GOD OR NOT-GOD, OR BOTH NOR NEITHER OR OTHERWISE; AND IF NOTHING IS EXISTENCE OR NONEXISTENCE, OR BOTH NOR NEITHER OR OTHERWISE; AND IF NOTHING IS I OR I-LESS - SELF OR SELF-LESS, OR BOTH NOR NEITHER OR OTHERWISE; AND IF THERE'S NOTHING TO TRUTH OR UNTRUTH, KNOWLEDGE OR IGNORANCE, OR BOTH NOR NEITHER OR OTHERWISE; AND IF THERE'S NOTHING TO QUESTION OR NOT QUESTION, SEARCH OR NOT SEARCH, OR BOTH NOR NEITHER OR OTHERWISE; AND IF NOTHING IS ENSLAVED OR LIBERATED AND IF THERE'S NOTHING REAL OR UNREAL, OR BOTH NOR NEITHER OR OTHERWISE; AND IF THERE'S NOTHING TO AWAKEN OR TO HAVE BEEN ASLEEP, NOTHING TO THE DREAM THAT THERE EVER WAS A DREAMER OR BOTH NOR NEITHER OR OTHERWISE; AND IF NEITHER OR BOTH OR OTHERWISE NOTHING IS NOTHING IS NOT NOTHING BECOMING NOTHING.......THE JOKE IS AT NO ONE'S EXPENSE AND COSTS NOTHING. So SMILE ...let infinite eternities whirl... the dance of voidness is always void - with or without the whirl and thanks...for nothing is all and nothing could be more easy and simple |
