See, and the Mild Seems
I lately learn this lovely couplet from Sant Kabir:
जब मैं था तब हरी नहीं, अब हरी है मैं नाही, सब अँधियारा मिट गया, दीपक देखा माही |
After I was, God was not; now God is, and I’m not. All darkness has vanished—the lamp is lit inside.
Kabir will not be talking of a deity outdoors of us. He’s pointing to one thing way more refined—the tip of the “I,” the tip of the self that’s eternally looking for, evaluating, and changing into.
When that ceases, what stays is “gentle,” or the illumination that arises when the thoughts continues to be and free from its personal shadow.
We spend a lot of life chasing gentle outdoors us, in wealth, possessions, standing, data, and even in spirituality. However so long as the self seeks, the darkness continues.
Maybe then, our actual work is to not seek for gentle, however to see the darkness as it’s… with out operating away from it, and with out naming it. In that seeing, the sunshine seems.
As you have fun Diwali with your loved ones and associates, could you encounter that gentle.
There isn’t a higher readability and no deeper freedom than that.
Completely happy Diwali.
