_______
Listen.
Listen to the sounds around you,
outside, beyond the walls,
beyond the garden...
Listen to the faintest most distant
sound you can hear...
Aware of how listening
becomes spacious, unbounded.
Now listen to listening.
As you listen outside,
listen inside.
Without or within,
All space is awake...
Listen for the next thought to arise,
the next word in your mind...
See?
Your very listening
is perfect silence,
the radiant absence
of mental noise....
When there is listening,
there are no words.
Only a thrush
at the edge of the woods...
Now feel your whole brain
listening, scintillating
with energy yet
free from thought,
each cell vibrantly full
of ever-awakening
emptiness...
Let the pure space of listening
be in front of your forehead...
In front of your chest...
In front of your whole body.
Let the pure space of listening
be behind you,
behind your spine...
behind your head...
Feel the space of listening
all around your body.
Does this space have
any edges?
Be aware of a tiny diamond
at the crown of your head,
light as the touch of a feather...
Be aware of the space
above your head,
boundless and clear
as the sky...
Listening is the space
all around your body...
and inside your body...
The space of listening in each cell...
The space of listening between the atoms...
The vast space inside a single atom,
listening...
Your body is luminous, weightless and clear,
your flesh permeated by the space
that is eternally awake
and listening...
The heavenly empyrean filled
with stars and galaxies
whose light has not yet reached you
pervades every particle
of your flesh...
The miracle that you are...
Listening to silence...
Listen to No Word,
No Thought arising...
You are Peace.
You are radiant clarity.
You are boundless love.
Om Shantih, Shantih, Shantih.
