"WE DON'T DESERVE RESOLUTION"

"As human beings, not only do we seek resolution
but we also feel that we deserve resolution.
However, not only do we not deserve resolution,
we suffer from resolution.
We don't deserve resolution; we deserve something better than that.
We deserve our birthright, which is the middle way;
an open state of mind that can relax with paradox and ambiguity.
To the degree that we've been avoiding uncertainty,
we're naturally going to have withdrawal symptoms--
withdrawal from always thinking that there's a problem
and that someone, somewhere needs to fix it".

NOTHING TO REALIZE - (and WHO gives up?)

"There is no such thing as realizing the self.  How is one to realize or make real what is real?  People all realize, or regard as real what is unreal, and all they have to do is give that up."

                    Ramana Maharshi

BLOW IT ALL UP!

"Do you really want to erase all your deluded beliefs, memories, stories, tendencies and identities one by one, or would you prefer to find the factory where they are produced, and blow the whole thing up?

I say this because right now, I don't have time for all this tiny pruning.  You hold on to your little nail clipper, but I am giving you a great chainsaw to bring down this old tree of suffering.

The chainsaw is self-inquiry.
This is your good fortune.

SILENCE

"Silence is the most powerful form of teaching transmitted from Master to adept.  The soundless voice is pure intuition. It is the voice of spiritual sound speaking in our innermost being..."
