The flame of singing silence

"Pure it is, the light of lights.

This is what the knowers of the Self know.

The sun shines not there, nor the moon and stars,

there lightning shines not; where then could this fire be?

This shining illuminates all this world."

Mundaka Upanishad

 

Enlightenment is the great and final disappointment,

the dissolution of all our egoic fantasies and grand hopes."

Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche

 

 

In the flame of singing silence

 

all expectations and beliefs are burning

 

providing more light

 

in the confusing

 

night

 

Suddenly only knowing

 

is

 

silently glowing

 

closer than close

 

Neither distance nor time

 

can take you from here to here

 

always nearer than near

 

No need to travel far

 

to find what you

 

truly are

 

Simply

 

be
