See, and the Mild Seems

Each Diwali, we clear corners we don’t often take a look at. It’s a pleasant metaphor for our internal world too — for our habits and biases that want some recent air.

See, and the Mild Seems

I lately learn this lovely couplet from Sant Kabir:

After I was there I used to be not inexperienced, now I’m not inexperienced, All darkness disappeared, Mahi noticed the lamp.

After I was, God was not; now God is, and I’m not. All darkness has vanished—the lamp is lit inside.

Kabir just isn’t talking of a deity exterior of us. He’s pointing to one thing much more delicate—the top of the “I,” the top of the self that’s ceaselessly looking for, evaluating, and turning into.

When that ceases, what stays is “mild,” or the illumination that arises when the thoughts remains to be and free from its personal shadow.

We spend a lot of life chasing mild exterior us, in wealth, possessions, standing, data, and even in spirituality. However so long as the self seeks, the darkness continues.

Maybe then, our actual work is to not seek for mild, however to see the darkness as it’s… with out operating away from it, and with out naming it. In that seeingthe sunshine seems.

As you rejoice Diwali with your loved ones and pals, might you come across that mild.

There is no such thing as a better readability and no deeper freedom than that.

Completely satisfied Diwali.
