To begin to meditate is to look into our lives with interest in kindness and discover how to be wakeful and free.
Sahaja samadhi means that you have just gone back and forth so many times that there is no back and forth. All you see is enlightenment in this world and the other side. There is no other side anymore. It means that you are wakeful.
What I'm after is that wakeful state through language that stays alive.
Electronic brains may help us to use our heads but will not excuse us from that duty, and as to our hearts-cardiograms cannot diagnose what may be most ill about them, or confirm what may be best. The faithful woman and the versatile brave man, the wakeful intelligence open to inspiration or grace-these are still exemplary for our kind, as they always were and always will be.
We have two lives; The soul of man is like the rolling world, One half in day, the other dipt in night; The one has music and the flying cloud, The other, silence and the wakeful stars.
How sociable the garden was. We ate and talked in given light. The children put their toys to grass All the warm wakeful August night.
Desire is wakeful; satisfaction dozes.
