Are Fajas Bad For You

Be Seeing is freedom to discover I have no complaints

study the Way is to study oneself.
study oneself is to forget oneself. Forgetting
itself is illuminated by all.
be enlightened by all
is to eliminate the barriers between ourselves and others. Dogen Eihei

M: Stay calm, undisturbed, and the wisdom and power will come by themselves. You do not need to crave. Wait in the silence of the heart and mind. It is very easy to be calm, but wanting is rare. You want to become a superman of overnight. Stay without ambition, without the slightest desire, exposed, vulnerable, unprotected, lacking certainty and only, completely open to life and welcoming as it is, without selfish interest conviction that everything must give back to your pleasure or profit either material or spiritual supposedly.


Q: I nod to what you say, but I do not see how.


M: If you know how, you will not. Abandon any attempt one is, do not push, do not fight, let go of all support, hold on to the feeling of being blind, sweeping everything else. That is enough.


Q: How do this scan? The more mud, the more it floats to the surface.


M: Deny your attention, let things come and go. The wishes and thoughts are also things. Ignore them. From time immemorial the happenings dust has been covering the clear mirror of his mind, so that you could only see memories. Sweep the dust before it has time to settle; This will expose the old layers until it is discovered the true nature of his mind. It's all very simple and comparatively easy, is serious and patient, that's all. Dispassion, detachment, being free from desire and fear, of any interest in itself, merely witnessing-free memory and expectation, this is the state of mind in which the discovery can occur. After all, liberation is but the freedom to discover.
