The sphere of innocence or
unconscious no-self is like the child-play that is deeply absorbed in that
specific moment at play, without the worries of the world what comes next.
It is the purity before the
calculated adulthood arises, and it is the simplicity prior to the world of
common sense.
For some adults it is the
long lost paradise, looking back in nostalgic memories.
In mindless awareness this
childlike play is in cultivation and practiced, becoming the returning to the
beginning.
In the Zen Art of Archery
it states, ‘’Man is a thinking reed and his greatest work is done when not
thinking’’.
The equilibrium of this
childlikeness is a natural circle, one can observe with older people and it
needs to be restored for the art of self-forgetfulness.
In theory it sound like
that this world would be a better place for us to stay as children. Interesting
enough, that almost all religions teaches us that we must return to being as
children.
Trouble and conflict only
arises when the ego and the distinction between “self” and “other’’, arises. But
we need the “self’’ from within the self, first of all. The world of
distinction must once again arise. Maintaining the “self” yet departing from it
seems like a contradiction, because one is made up of something, where there
was nothing to begin with.
The no-thought-ness is the
abysmal ground or the sense of the Divine Will or called Prana in Vedic text.
The refining mental factors, that establishing stillness of the mind is the effort,
to attain that no-self.
For every thing there is a
time, the time of the soul unfoldment depends upon the mental progress, to the
tuning of the soul.
Love is an inexpressible
power and force of life which speaks louder than words and how it whispers from
the heart.
Heart-ship is discipleship
that opens the vision beyond the self and the truth that is conceived as
maturity, for when God is within reach, what can be beyond it?
