is clever; He who
knows himself is enlightened.

Simple

Everything is simple --reality is simple. It seems complex only because of ignorance; otherwise everything is simple. Once you know it, it becomes simple. The knowing is bound to be difficult not because of reality, remember, but because of your mind. - Osho

There just is...


The Perfect Way is only difficult for those who pick and choose;
Do not like, do not dislike; all will then be clear.
Make a hairbreadth difference, and Heaven and Earth are set apart;
If you want the truth to stand close before you, never be for or against.
The struggle between “for” and “against” is the mind’s worst disease. – Sen-ts’an

Open Your Heart, Free Your Soul


The little space within the heart is as great as the vast universe. The heavens and the earth are there, and the sun and the moon and the stars. Fire and lightning and winds are there, and all that now is and all that is not. - The Upanishads
