“I am happy tonight, united with the Friend.
Free from the pain of separation, I whirl and dance with the Beloved.
I tell my heart, 'Do not worry, the key to morning I've thrown away.”
― Rumi, Rumi: Whispers of the Beloved

“In a craven and hierarchical organization, the only thing more dangerous in revealing your own ignorance, is to draw attention to the stupidity of the boss.”

“Thought free wakefulness. Only a complete absence of thoughts can free us. We must achieve a state of wakefulness that is perfectly clear and thought free, for that no sort of meditation is going to be useful because there is nothing to keep in mind, nothing to focus on, and no word to direct our attention. So, give up the idea of meditation, and you will no longer be distracted. Thought free wakefulness dissolves the grip of our ignorant dualistic mind. Thought free wakefulness blows up the grammar of ordinary consciousness and goes beyond subject, object and action. Thought-free wakefulness cannot be grasped by thought. It is quite literally unthinkable. Still, we can train our consciousness to recognise it. Among the many technique we can use, letting our mind rest in uncontrived naturalness is one of the best.”
