The Work Within

Let Silence be the work within your work. For only what is immovable makes waves.

"Sitting quietly,
doing nothing, Spring comes.
Grass grows by itself."

This classic Zen poem is not about inaction. It reveals the dynamic secret of success.

Human "activism" has failed as much as human thought has failed to save the earth. So where is the solution? The solution must lie in a field that is deeper than either thought or action. The solution lies in the silent field of Being. Earth's healing comes from here, a source of power prior to any do-er, any "I."

Dive into the bottomless wellspring of Being. This very un-doing stirs waves of harmony. Here where the Uncreated pulsates as pure love, Silence re-creates the world. This is why we meditate. And when we come out of meditation, we can act boldly, because the infusion of Silence into the world continues through every word and action we perform.

It is such an exquisite paradox. Diving into a field that completely transcends mind and body spontaneously energizes thought and action. Awareness in the state of infinite transcendental Silence moves mountains.

May there be peace, on Earth as it is in heaven.
