Morning Meditation : Oneness and Hua Hu Ching Verse 32
February 8, 2010 in Mind, Spirit by WebMaster
The ego says that the world is vast,
and that the particles which form it are tiny.
When tiny particles join, it says,
the vast world appears.
When the vast world disperses, it says,
tiny particles appear.
The ego is entranced by all these names and ideas,
but the subtle truth is that world and particle are the same;
neither one vast, neither one tiny.
Every thing is equal to every other thing.
perception of this Great Oneness.
Therefore it is wise to ignore them.
Those who live inside their egos are continually bewildered:
they struggle frantically to know whether
things are large or small, whether or not there is a purpose
to joining or dispersing,
whether the universe is blind and mechanical
or the divine creation of a conscious being.
In reality there are no grounds for having beliefs
or making comments about such things.
Look behind them instead, and you will discern
the deep, silent, complete truth of the Way.
Embrace it, and your bewilderment vanishes.
