01. No-Mind



No-Mind
The ultimate and the inexpressible

The state of no-mind is the state of the divine. God is not a thought but the experience of thoughtlessness. It is not a content in the mind; it is the explosion when the mind is content-less. It is not an object that you can see; it is the very capacity to see. It is not the seen but the seer. It is not like the clouds that gather in the sky, but the sky when there are no clouds. It is that empty sky.

When the consciousness is not going out to any object, when there is nothing to see, nothing to think, just emptiness all around, then one falls upon oneself. There is nowhere to go--one relaxes into one's source, and that source is God.

Your inner being is nothing but the inner sky. The sky is empty, but it is the empty sky that holds all, the whole existence, the sun, the moon, the stars, the earth, the planets. It is the empty sky that gives space to all that is. It is the empty sky that is the background of all that exists. Things come and go and the sky remains the same.

In exactly the same way, you have an inner sky; it is also empty. Clouds come and go, planets are born and disappear, stars arise and die, and the inner sky remains the same, untouched, untarnished, unscarred. We call that inner sky sakshin, the witness--and that is the whole goal of meditation.

Go in, enjoy the inner sky. Remember, whatsoever you can see, you are not it. You can see thoughts, then you are not thoughts; you can see your feelings, then you are not your feelings; you can see your dreams, desires, memories, imaginations, projections, then you are not them. Go on eliminating all that you can see. Then one day the tremendous moment arrives, the most significant moment of one's life, when there is nothing left to be rejected. All the seen has disappeared and only the seer is there. That seer is the empty sky.

To know it is to be fearless, and to know it is to be full of love. To know it is to be God, is to be immortal.

In the midst of life's wild and quickly flowering currents, I remain centered, allowing the rainbow bridge of opportunity to connect me with my destiny.

Tässä vaiheessa ajattelin kertoa muutamia perusasioita kohteestamme. Kun olen ennenkin ollut.
Matka-aika kannattaa käyttää hyvin, koska matkalla oleminen on enemmän kuin perille pääseminen.
Silmät kannattaa avata. Silmien kautta valo pääsee aivoihin ja se tuntuu hyvältä.Katso oikealle ja vasemmalle ja sinnekin minne ei saisi katsoa. Näytä silmillesi jotain mitä ne eivät ole ennen nähneet, ja näkö tarkentuu.

Eksyminen on suositeltavaa.
Käänny tämän tästä väärästä risteyksestä. Oli Kolumbuskin matkalla Intiaan ja sinne hän myös luuli päässeensä.

Varo liikaa varovaisuutta. Turistiripuli menee pillereillä ohi, mutta käyttämättömästä elämästä ei saa rahojaan takaisin.

Opettele silloin tällöin yksi uusi juomalaulu, yksi uusi vitsi ja yksi uusi tanssi ja niin tehtyäsi tulet huomaamaan, että niille syntyy käyttöä.

Opettele sanomaan “minä rakastan sinua” ja pian huomaat, että tarvitset sitä taitoa usein.
Opettele sanomaan “ei” silloin kun pelkäät – ja “kyllä” silloin kun pelkäät turhaan.
Sano usein “kyllä”. Se tekee sinut onnekkaaksi.
Sano ”kyllä kiitos”. Se tekee muutkin onnelliseksi.

Huomaa se aita, jonka mukavuudenhalu rakentaa sinun ja kaiken uuden välille. Ei sitä siinä ennen ollut, muuten et olisi jutellut puolisosi kanssa ensimmäistä kertaa.

Lupaa itsellesi taas uusia asioita. Naudan- ja ranskankieli ovat kokeilemisen arvoisia.

Syö joskus oikein epäterveellisesti ja useammin terveellisesti. Juo muutakin kuin kahvia, mutta juovu myös sadevedestä. Syö enemmän lumihiutaleita kuin kaviaaria. Kokeile millaista on olla nälissään.

Katso enemmän unia kuin televisiota.

Katso televisiota vain silloin, kun se ei pidä sinua tyhmänä. Tyhmyys tekee tyhmäksi ja uusia aivoja on vaikea saada. Vaihda kanavaa. Sulje televisio.

Mene ulos.

Älä naura sauvakävelijöille, sillä sauvakävely vaatii pokkaa.
Älä naura rullalautailijoille, sillä heillä on uskonto. Kokeile molempia.
Naura. Jos olet oikein vahva, naura itsellesi. Ja ellet ole vahva, muista että itselle nauraminen tekee vahvaksi.

Itke kerran kuukaudessa. Se poistaa elimistöstä kuona-aineita ja tekee hiuksistasi jopa 35% tuuheampia.

Ei kannata uskoa kaikkea, mitä televisiossa sanotaan.

Suhtaudu häkkeihin epäillen. Jos pitää marsua yksin tyhjässä häkissä, se sairastuu ja kuolee. Päästä marsusi häkistä, edes silloin tällöin. Päästä rakkaasi marsu häkistä mahdollisimman usein.

Liskoista en sano mitään.

Hyvät matkakumppanit. Minulle on kerrottu, että elämällä on viimeinen käyttöpäivä.
Ja että nyt ennen kuin on myöhäistä, pitäisi repäistä, karata ja ajaa avoautolla auringonlaskuun.
Mutta se mitä olen täällä nähnyt, kertoo minulle ettei tarvitse.
Ei tarvitse tehdä suurtekoja, ei tulla uskoon, ei edes vaihtaa aviopuolisoa tai autoa, vaikka monet niin yrittävätkin.
Pidä silmät auki ja korvat höröllä. Hanki otsaan ryppyjä ja poskeen kuoppia.

Eläminen tapahtuu tekemällä pieniä liikkeitä.

" People come to me and they ask, "What is right and what is wrong?" I say, "Awareness is right; unawareness is wrong." I don't label actions as wrong and right. I don't say violence is wrong. Sometimes violence can be right. I don't say love is right. Sometimes love can be wrong. Love can be for a wrong person, love can be for a wrong purpose. Somebody loves his country. Now, this is wrong because nationalism is a curse. Somebody loves his religion. He can kill, he can murder, he can burn others' temples. Neither is love always right nor is anger always wrong.


Then what is right and what is wrong? To me, awareness is right. If you are angry with full awareness, even anger is right. And if you are loving with unawareness, even love is not right. So let the quality of awareness be there in every act that you do, in every thought that you think, in every dream that you dream. Let the quality of awareness enter into your being more and more. Become suffused with the quality of awareness. Then whatsoever you do is virtue. Then whatsoever you do is good. Then whatsoever you do is a blessing to you and to the world in which you live.


Let me remind you of a situation that happened in Jesus' life. He took a whip and entered into the great temple of Jerusalem.

A whip in the hand of Jesus...? This is what Buddha means when he says, "an unwounded hand can handle poison." Yes, Jesus can handle a whip, no problem; the whip cannot overpower him. He remains alert, his consciousness is such.

The great temple of Jerusalem had become a place of robbers. There were money-changers inside the temple and they were exploiting the whole country. Jesus alone entered the temple and upturned their boards--the boards of the money-changers--threw their money around and created such turmoil that the money-changers escaped outside the temple. They were many and Jesus was alone, but he was in such a fury, in such a fire! Now, this has been a problem for the Christians: how to explain it?--because their whole effort is to prove that Jesus is a dove, a symbol of peace. How can he take a whip in his hands? How can he be so angry, so enraged, that he upturned the boards of the money-changers and threw them outside the temple? And he must have been afire; otherwise, he was alone--he could have been caught hold of. His energy must have been in a storm; they could not face him. The priests and the business people all escaped outside shouting, "This man has gone mad!"

Christians avoid this story. There is no need to avoid it if you understand: Jesus is so innocent! He is not angry; it is his compassion. He is not violent, he is not destructive; it is his love. The whip in his hand is the whip in the hands of love, compassion.

A man of awareness acts out of his awareness, hence there is no repentance; his action is total. And one of the beauties of the total action is that it does not create karma; it does not create anything; it doesn't leave any trace on you. It is like writing on water: you have not even finished... it is gone. It is not even writing in sand, because that may remain for a few hours if the wind does not come--it is writing on water.

If you can be totally alert, then there is no problem. You can handle poison; then the poison will function as a medicine. In the hands of the wise, poison becomes medicine; in the hands of the fools, even medicine, even nectar, is bound to become poison. If you function out of innocence--not out of knowledgeability but out of childlike innocence--then you can never come to any harm, because it leaves no trace. You remain free of your actions. You live totally and yet no action burdens you."
