Nothing & everything … ( 12 / 29 / 2011 )
“ So many conditions intertwined in the mind . One must unravel thousands of knots and at times when we unravel one we accidentally create a new one . The labor is great and can only be accomplished with Love ; the Love of the labor first , and then Love for the individuals who knotted us to begin with . And once Love has loosened those knots light can reach our inner-most being . And over time that light breaks down the strong fibers of the conditions that have previously caused us distress . And once all those conditions are untangled there is nothing left but emptiness , and through that emptiness a kind of loneliness emerges along … And it is that divine loneliness that truly unites us all .” ~ inspired by Osho
Osho ’ s “ unraveling the knots of the mind ” is indeed a path to Awakening , to be sure , and yet it is a highly inefficient one … I prefer the Way of the Heart , which completely & instantly frees the True Self from all ego-bondage in every moment of Joy-full self-sacrifice … And once this Freedom of Self is attained , I have found not emptiness within , but EVERYTHINGNESS — not a loneliness , but a recognition that we are all separate-yet-interconnected ; that we are all ONE !!!
As such , once we have awakened to this Truth , it is no longer possible to feel lonely – as we realize that we are never truly alone .
