Marabai, dispassion, passion, Krishnamurti , and God

"The Lord of Fallen Fools, says Mira, will save anyone.", sings Mirabai.

In our ease and surrender, life will become an eternal Sabbath, with only praise and acceptance remaining as our innocent chores. Then we will know again why we have been asked to "Be still, and know that I am God."(psalm 46); a statement, which, for our purposes here, we may render in the true manner of the empty, effortless, unbiased witness, whose axiom instead is,: "Be still, and know that Eye am God."

The Kun byed rgyal po'i mdo has similar passages, stating "I, the All-Creating, teach only the lore of stillness and of suchness. ...[And] the stillness of the true central vigor. ... is called the eye of the omniscient one."(p68,69,112) For it is in this stillness that we disappear as separate fragments and re-appear as the One event occurring.

Finally, another priceless observation from Krishnamurti to close this door in order that we might open another. He concludes, "If you don't know what to do, you do nothing, don't you? Absolutely nothing. Then inwardly you are completely silent. Do you understand what that means? It means that you are not seeking, not wanting, not pursuing; there is no centre at all. Then there is love." (Freedom from the Known, p87)

Let us go from dispassion now ...to passion.
