"Just as every drop of the ocean carries the taste of the ocean, so does every moment carry the taste of eternity. Definitions and descriptions have their place as useful incentives for further search, but you must go beyond them into what is undefinable and indescribable, except in negative terms." N.M.
Neti, neti. Not this, not this. Everything I say, everything I think I am and the world is - is sediment. We are the pure water. Currents and waves, the stuff of our lives, move and cease, rise and fall in transient dissolution. We do not die, we resolve. If we are fortunate enough to stumble upon a truth, if we earnestly take up a practice and strive after it, we may just become still and allow the sediment to settle in our lifetime. The waves and the currents continue to come and go, but we do not. I know this sounds like mumbo jumbo, but it is verifiable fact. Jnana is a good method for awakening into clarity. Advaita is the best a human mind can do to express it. This is my experience. "You are perfect, only you don't know it." N.M.
