STILLNESS - THAT NO SWORD CAN TAKE FROM US

 "My greatest wealth is the deep stillness in which I strive and grow and win what the world cannot take from me with fire or sword." Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Dearest all, a powerful quote
It can be unraveled endlessly, and I could write it afresh every time I write about it
indeed... to really arrive at it experientially… beyond just its intellectual understanding …  one needs to travel the full path of gyan!
So to keep it simple and yet all encompassing hear its message deeply yet lightly:

For it speaks about the  equanimity that arises beyond debate, discussion, theory, beliefs and beyond  life's changing experiences, events, ups and downs.
It speaks of surrender and empowerment;
It speaks of inaction in action;

 It speaks of a restful but eternal growth and expansion
even when we feel we have arrived;

It speaks of moving away from opposites and adjectives and extremes
of emotion... from loving too much or hating .... into 'it is it is'

It speaks of moving away from choices made in advance
-of your actions- of 'not' going to do that  or 'only going to do this... into every action in the Now is appropriate

It speaks of moving away from opinions
to a joyful acceptance of how everything and every view point and every idea is what makes up the perfect whole and 'i' only play my part 

It speaks about conscious knowledge that has permeated the subconscious
and reached the unconscious...stirred it...into becoming...A wealth so deep the world cannot take it from you with fire or sword!
