A prudent question is one-half of wisdom. Francis Bacon
I once watched an interview with Barbara Walters and the Dali Lama. She asked him if he was enlightened. He laughed as he touched his glasses and said "If I were enlightened I wouldn't need these!" I realized then that if he, the Dali Lama, wasn't "there" yet, I was never going to arrive. This is a life-long process. Take your coat off and stay a while.
It seems in my everyday life, I have so many questions. I want to know the future, understand the present, release the past. I want to know how and when and where and why. But at the end of the day, when I stand in the presence of Divinity, I have no questions to ask.
And in a way....it's knowing this easier???
ReplyDeleteOne may see it as a loss that we must be unaware of true moments of enlightenment because it requires no ego left to observe. Or one may see the potential and possiblility of all the unaware moments of enlightenment you may have already experienced. There two sides to every coin But is the coin not incomplete with only one side? We reach enlightenment only when duality no longer remains.
