Accept / transcend (On October 1, 2007)

Accepting what is
that is the sagely universal advise
they say
the surest road to peace

then the mind rebels
it sees many improvement possibilities
it wants to do something
to address the blatant injustice!

The common refrain
if all of us did nothing, we could still be in caves
can't just accept
sit and do nothing and let things be

sensible, intelligent, activist
brilliant terms to make a willing change artist
blinded and deafened to true acceptance

how does real change happen?
in temporal, spatial dimension
because the changeless source is beyond forever!!

change is a perception
change is a manifestation
Change is a comparison
[perceived only on the background of the eternal changeless one]

comparison needs an ideal and a standard
we measure the actual against the ideal
and then we feel great or lousy

In the act of measurement
what happens is a judgment
judging “what is” to be either Good or Bad

And the “world” begins
We wants comfort, freedom from pain, only light
we want “infinity” here and now!!

But how do we
become wise if do not accept our dumbness
become wise if do not accept our sadness
become wise if do not accept love our boundaries

The opposites make a whole
what is and what can be
maketh a perceptual whole

the source beckons
through the dance of opposites
whole choices that is Life

nothing happens
without loving what is
bringing forth
by letting go and letting GOD
