No.315 - The filled emptiness of the loving heart

 


The filled emptiness of the loving heart.

 

There is a place of intuitive and loving recognition that manifests when the true Dhamma heart opens. A place of purity and natural integrity and far beyond the fear and greediness of 'self.'

Now the world of politics, religion, racial and gender difference and inequality and everything it proclaims, is known to be empty of value.

No more delusion that can justify any honour in taking the life of a fellow being human, or not, no more imagination that celebrates the concept of a holy war, no more animal torture, cruelty and exploitation, no more eating of the flesh of others.

There is nothing to explain nor can be explained to those who do not understand, only a simple and powerful life that recognizes ourselves as part of the universe, not outside manipulating and attempting to control events for our own satisfaction. No more blindly following the hostile words and actions of those seeking their prominent place in the scheme of things. 'Our troops, our religion, our land, our beliefs.' Only endless mind stuff based in fear and corruption.

We are all the same. Men, women, young, old, human, animal, bird, fish, tall, short, fat thin. Those with enough, those with nothing and those with more than they can ever need. The heart intuitively recognizes unity and oneness. Any speech against oneness and equality comes only from the mind of men. The heart does not discriminate because it cannot discriminate. The heart can only love.

When you have enough you can rest. When you have more than you need, you can share. In this way suffering is ended.

The foolish will laugh, but the wise know what I say.

All of Dhamma and its living manifestation to take loving care of ourselves, others and the world we are part of, is like a joke - you either get it or you don't, but it can't be explained.

These are my thoughts today. May all beings be happy.SadhuX3.
