What does this moment have to teach us We who are so full of ourselves Who arrive everywhere filled to the brim The moment can only teach those who are empty If we are full where is the room for anything new? The wisdom and intelligence of this moment Cannot compete with the fullness of self It’s a different kind of intelligence It can only be heard from emptiness And so to really hear, to really be able To receive the deepest wisdom this moment Has to offer us, in its vastness and eternal depth We must enter this moment naked and empty The moment has everything to teach us But our task must be the seemingly arduous one Of emptying and not filling up again.
Ah the paradox of Being and Doing! I suppose that if the 'Doing' with all its nitty gritty details comes from the 'Being', from the open heart of awareness then all is well and life flows but if the proverbial cart goes in front then I perpetuate the craziness of the present day with its myriad problems.
Oh yes, I love this thanks Kavi.
May I stop identifying with all the stories that reinforce an important 'me' and may emptiness be all that remains xx
may it be so x
