Things Fall Apart

Yeats wrote, "Things fall apart, the center cannot hold..." The poet may have more wisely said, "Let things fall apart. Why cling to a center?"

At times of dissolution and change, rest a few moments, sit quietly, and just let everything fall apart... That's right. Don't try to hold it together. Let it fall apart completely.

Then notice what remains. Vast imperishable Existence. An Existence that has nothing to do with this mind, an Existence that sustains all with invincible simplicity. This ground of Existence needs no thought, no worry, no little self for its silent work. This imperishable Existence is who we actually are.
