THE
SIMPLEST PATH TO LIBERATION = IS ACCEPTANCE!
Liberation through acceptance?
Dissolution of the ego - me notion through acceptance!?
Yes, how much simpler can it be.
Acceptance = Non
resistance Acceptance
= Desirelessness Non resistance + Desirelessness = Nothing for the mind to
do, chew on, hang it many hats on! Nothing
for the mind to do = it is deprived of its reason to
exist = it starts to subside bow out… dissolve…
No mind = No ‘me’ =
Liberation/Awakening
Acceptance = leads to Non resistance = We move into
moment-to-moment acceptance of All That Is
- of whatever is - isn’t, happens -doesn’t,
choices made- actions that ensue -wherever they lead to .We increasingly abide
in deep inner acceptance of All That Is - of the Divine play, our role, the
roles of ‘others’, where were we are in the Now, its purr-fection. Thus the mind has nothing to do, nothing to chew on, no hooks to
hang its many hats on! It is deprived of its reason to exist and thus starts to
subside bow out… dissolve…! No mind = No ‘me’ =Liberation/Awakening
Acceptance = leads to Desirelessness = we
begin to move from material/personal desires (thus nothing to be reborn for =
liberation) to the desire for 'awakening' - but indeed even if all i desire is
awakening ‘i’ am present to desire thus - and awakening cannot be - as
awakening is paradoxically the dissolution of /liberation from ‘me and its
desires’ - even if the desire is to be desire less or awaken! But in acceptance
of wherever we are in the Now- nothing, not even spiritual desires, remain …not
even the ‘spiritual’ hooks of awakening! And thus ‘me/my mind’ having its final
bastion removed… has nothing to do/chew on…. and robbed of its sustenance or
reason to exist… begins to subside, retreat and finally dissolve! And this
dissolution of me-notion/my mind/self = is known as liberation!
Beloveds, what a simple, practical, day to day ‘path’! No exotic
practices…no complex texts … no must or must not do’s … nothing to give up… no
god guru master teacher to depend on … only here & now , day- to- day,
moment –to- moment Acceptance!
Liberation through acceptance... once this unraveled within me it
sounds so obvious...and yet it was a
Big eureka moment!
Acceptance of whatever the universe wills through a
‘me’ …
Acceptance of whatever choices happen through a
‘me’…
Acceptance of whatever actions happen or not towards
them…
Acceptance of wherever it leads or not…
Acceptance of the Now… thus no desires for some
future…
Acceptance = subtly leads to desirelessness…
Desirelessness =nothing for the mind to chew on +
and nothing to be reborn for = liberation
This is the Zen “chop wood , boil water” …not to be taken literally
but acceptance of and non resistance to whatever the ‘chopping wood and boiling
water’ in your life pertains to…whatever your current day to day life is made
up of… your roles, occupations, relationships, activities… getting up in the
morning in acceptance and going about your day in acceptance!
Indeed acceptance
leads to increasingly connecting with and abiding as Self …and that enables
further acceptance and surrender… and removes deeper and deeper resistance...
and thus we abide even firmer as Self... and what a lovely cycle we spin into
motion… through the simple path of acceptance!
Acceptance does not being passive! Acceptance
does not mean doing nothing ...nor does it mean simply giving in! Acceptance
means we accept the situation, we accept what we need to do, and then we accept
its outcome! Acceptance isn’t weakness, it isn’t sacrifice or giving in - Acceptance
is strength to do what we needs to be done and to tackle the situation
correctly.
