“It is only through silent awareness that our physical and mental nature can change. This change is completely spontaneous. If we make an effort to change we do no more than shift our attention from one level, from one thing, to another. We remain in a vicious circle. This only transfers energy from one point to another. It still leaves us oscillating between suffering and pleasure, each leading inevitably back to the other. Only living stillness, stillness without someone trying to be still, is capable of undoing the conditioning our biologoical, emotional and psychological nature has undergone. There is no controller, no selector, no personality making choices. In choiceless living the situation is given the freedom to unfold. You do not grasp one aspect over another for there is nobody to grasp. When you understand something and live it without being stuck to the formulation, what you have understood dissolves in your openness. In this silence change takes place of its own accord, the problem is resolved and duality ends. You are left in your glory where no one has understood and nothing has been understood.”
― Jean Klein, I Am

“It [realization of Oneness] means being constantly open to the possibility that we are like two flowers looking at each other from two different branches of the same tree, so that if we were to go deep enough inside to the trunk, we would realize that we are one. Just being open to this possibility will have a profound effect on your relationships and on your experience of the world.”
― Francis Lucille, The Perfume of Silence

“Have you ever seen a stereogram?
The 'Truth' the Stereogram shows us is there in front of us. Training and work doesn't make us see it.
It's a point of view, a different way of looking at it.
When you see it you try to explain it to someone else and you
realize you can't.
It simple, super simple, yet almost impossible to explain.
There are 'techniques' to see them but some people may spend
years trying without results. Others can do it in seconds.
It doesn't change the fact that the image is there all the time in
front of us.
And it's Beautiful.”
― T.R. Cordón, GLIMPSES OF HER

“Medicine Doesn't Require Faith Test
(Naskaristana 2504)

More and more I've grown distant
of the term "philosophy",
as I'm nearing my final sleep it feels,
philosophy is just a kid brother to theology.

But my theology has no relation to scripture,
my theology is just human acting at full voltage.
Ibn Arabi, Adi Shankara, Meister Eckhert, it's all one.
Mevlana, Naskar, Aquinas, all are one sentience.

All paths are valid, only prejudice is invalid;
no matter the river, we're all headed to the sea.
Dual, nondual, all are human construct -
beyond ritual and reason ignites divine sanity.

Rain doesn't check bank balance,
soil doesn't require DNA test -
breath doesn't ask for proof of residence,
medicine doesn't require faith test.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

“Let the festivities of revolution commence,

“I am, for I am not (Sonnet 2539)

I don't care what I am,
I don't know what I am,
I am, for I am not -
I am empty, I contain eternity.

I am not a man of faith,
I am the faith of humankind.
I am not ahead of time,
I just tick outside the clock.

I learnt nothing the traditional way,
neither sciences, nor languages,
all I did was dissolve myself,
and oceans overflowed to saturate my senses.

Yo soy, porque no soy,
I am, for I am not -
alive outside jungle books,
cattle I am not.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

“I am empty, I contain eternity.”
