Short Sleeves Insights- A Cinder Of Unity!
That statement comes from the ancient Indian King and philosopher, Pingalaka. Some say he lived 200 years ago after Buddha's death. Although I have not read very much about him or his work, his words strike a note of remembering within me.
It appears that there has been so much written information available to us over the years, in many different languages. Thanks to the internet, I am now able to read and remember some of the innate knowledge I have within me. When I could only learn what was written in English, I was restricted in what I understood about myself. I was caught in a world of partial knowledge and believed that me, the cloth, was a reality on its own. I did not think about the other aspects of myself that make me who I am. Without the match and the wood working together, I can not burn. I am the wood without the match, just thinking about the physical. As Pingalaka points out, I am an illusion, walking in a fog of forgetfulness, waiting to wake up.
So it is, I can walk through physical life disconnected, searching for answers, or look within myself and discover the world I left behind. My mirror is there, burning in the flame of love. All the illusions turn to ashes and I am a cinder of unity. Loneliness is not a thought, or a word. Everything is there, around my fire of truth. I am who I am, seeing myself in many realities. Living in the cycle of eternity, that is connected to All There Is, Love.
