A flower makes no effort to spring from its
seed. So you spring gracefully from your own awareness, because you
cannot possibly be anyone but you. The final liberation is just to repose as
you are, right now, before you even have a thought. This is why Jesus told us, in his Sermon on the
Mount, "Take no thought... don’t worry... just be as natural as the
lilies of the field."
There is no other path, no
other blessing, no other grace but to be You. Imagine how it feels for a rose to be nothing but a
rose. For the wild meadow to be its own entangled galaxy of fragrances. Why would you
need to be someone else? In fact, all suffering arises from this very effort to be
other than I Am.
Reposing in the Self is not passivity, but ultimate
dynamism, the regenerative power of surrender to the force that creates you. Resting
as you are cannot but release the germ from its seed, the action that the
universe longs to perform through your unique moment presence.
Ecstasy blossoms
right here, and cannot be avoided. Confess that you are powerless to do
anything about it. How else will you get through this devastating miracle?
