When I comfort you in your grief,
do I want your grief to go away?
When I comfort you in your pain,
do I want your pain to go away?
What is grief, in essence?
What is pain, in essence?
What is comfort, in essence?
I am here for you
I am with you
I am you
… and if that is comfort
I am comfort itself …
Peace for you
starts as peace in me
Peace in me
is peace for you
Peace in you
has never begun
It was already there
before you were
Peace in you
has never ended
It is there
when you are not …
When clouds asided
In that dark night
And thousand stars appeared
I held you and I felt
The tears pour out of you
The ground on which we sat
Received all dripping tears
And went on with the whisper
That woodsoil’s meant for that
When clouds appeared again
And rain began to fall
The tears were every raindrop
And raindrops every tear …
When you see the wave in someone else,
the wave of anger, sorrow, fear,
you can be the beach
When you see the wave in you,
the wave of reaction, knowing better, arrogance,
You can be the beach
When you are the beach
all waves
of you
of someone else
can finally
come ashore
Every thought
Every action
Every belief
Is about survival
Of the human species
Did you ever ask yourself:
Is, beyond any doubt, on the long term, the survival of the human species, the best that can happen to the earth, the universe?
I sat with that question for a very long time: in stillness and the only answer that came up was: I don’t know…
David Attenborough said about Humans exploiting the environment and the planet earth more and more:
“Perhaps the time has now come to put that process into reverse. Instead of controlling the environment for the benefit of the population, perhaps it is time to control the population to allow the survival of the environment”.

My dear child, There never was a "me" to suffer the pain of life and all there has ever been is "I", the Source from which the manifestation has emerged, and it is "I" alone who has been functioning through the billions of human beings. Ramesh Balsekar in Confusion no more.
Shame and guilt originate from the same belief: I did something wrong. Or, to rephrase it: I shouldn’t have done that.
Ask yourself: “With the knowledge I had at that time, with the state of consciousness I had at that time, with my past, with my pain, did I do the best I could at that time?”
And when you walk with this question
And meet the forest and the trees
Stand still and look
Let the answer surface
And let the trees tell you
What you knew already
And then you wonder
About your own wisdom
Infinite
Wise
Pure
Whole …
Nobody can force you to believe
No matter what is said
When words are spoken
When sounds are heard
They touch you now or not
It is your inner truth
That resonates or not
When the ears hear sounds
And the mind makes words
The truth, it lives inside of you
And is not found outside
This inner truth will lead you to
The goal that’s always You …
Ignorance and knowledge are opposites.
If you had all the knowledge in the world, would you be happy?
Would you know then what is the purpose of life?
Would you know yourself?
Wisdom transcends ignorance and knowledge.
Wisdom and joy of life are one and the same.
Wisdom lets you realize that the purpose of life is life.
Wisdom whispers to you that you are wisdom …
Away now are the tears
that lived inside my heart
The wind took all the stories
And sometimes comes a little breeze
And brings them back again
The deep unmovability
In wich I live and am
Let waves wave up above
And deep still silence be
This deep and silent water
is what I am made of
It is the same still water
as tear and wave and wave and tear …
Till now you are still sleeping
In deep and cherished dark
Unconscious of the outside
That is the same as in
Then breeze will softly rustle
And words will tender touch
The lighter, softer places
In all the harsh dense shells
And when in that dark darkness
The light becomes a star
That shines so bright and dazzling
As raging blazing fire
Then Consciousness will kiss
what lies and waits within
And Consciousness awakes
and holds herself and laughs …
