Came on these and liked them...
Seeking
After years of searching
The mystery deepens
The idea of waking up
Is dreaming Seek and you shall seek
Even your seeking
Doesn’t prevent freedom
The seeker is the sought
Means consciousness went off
Looking for itself First there is truth
Then there is the search for it
Only when you try and catch it
Does truth disappear
You can’t be a fly on the wall
Because the perceiver is the perceived
A brilliant spiritual concept
Destroys itself
Taking others with it You pick up a book and
The written message
Changes you forever
But you have nothing to do
With that process
You must either accept your acceptance
Or lack of acceptance
Or
Accept your non-acceptance of your
Acceptance or lack of acceptance
Or not
Some good and responsible gurus
Say you misinterpret Advaita
For your own selfish purposes
Just so you can do what you like
And blame God
But Advaita is not two
Meaning
The above situation is
Perfectly God in action On the spiritual search
You can have
Misunderstanding
And as the search progresses
You experience deeper and deeper
Misunderstandings
Eventually the idea that all is
Misunderstanding
Is perfectly misunderstood
Advaita non-duality or oneness
Are not pointing to what should be
They describe what is
Here’s the hint
“No hint is needed” Acceptance comes before
Any thing to be accepted
Whether you accept
Or reject these concepts
Doesn’t matter
They are all of equal value
In the fruitless search for
What already is
The seeker is the sought
Even before beginning seeking Advaita isn’t confusing
It’s just unknowable
You can’t see behind a tree
Because what you’re seeing
Is the tree
You can’t ponder the current thought
Because what you’re thinking
Is the current thought
The spiritual search
Has nothing to do with
Finding anything Enlightenment is an idea
Creating unenlightenment
Truth can’t be described
Let alone remembered
Consciousness is a
Miserable seeker Searching for the truth
Is the truth
Toying with enlightenment is
Toying with the idea that you’re
Not enlightened
If you feel you’re beginning
To understand
You’re on the wrong path The idea that truth needs
To be pursued
Is part of the illusion
When you weigh up the
Pros and cons
Of a particular teaching
Or a particular guru
That’s all you’re doing
Meanwhile the truth
In which those thoughts arise
Is steadily present
As a seeker
You can only hope to
Find yourself
Lost in freedom Seeking is trying to know
Freedom is not knowing
