Hay-Ku of the Day (Merry Christmas to All)

The Christmas Story

Foreshadows the Birth of Christ 

Within Your Own Heart.

A "Quantum Leap" from

A "God Apart" to "Christ in 

You" was Born this Day.

God's own "Absolute

Potential Be" was revealed

With the "Birth of Christ."

(1) Angelus Silesius-wise:

"Though Christ a thousand times

In Bethlehem be born,

If He’s not born in thee

Thy soul is still forlorn.

The Cross on Golgotha,

Will never save thy soul;

The Cross in thine own heart,

Alone can make thee whole.

 

"O, Cross of Christ, I take thee

Into this heart of mine,

That I to my own self may die

And rise to thy life Divine..."

(2) 2009 Christmas Haiku-Wise:

The Birth of Jesus

Took us from a "God Without"

to a "God Within."

The "Birth of Christ" took

Mankind from a "God Out There" 

To a "God In Here."

(3) "One Moment" Poem-Wise:

"Flesh and Spirit, 

Body and Soul, 

One Moment Part, 

The Next Moment Whole; 

Mary and Joseph, 

Manger and Stall, 

One Moment Nothing, 

the Next Moment All."

(1) Bill Samuel-Wise:

"It is Peace I ask for Father,

Perfection I long to see;

Yet, what I ask for must be

The self same one you are

In the action of being me."

-- Bill Samuel (from "The Melody of the Woodcutter and the King")

(2) Sri Ramana-Wise:

"Peace is our real nature. We spoil it. What is required is we cease to spoil it." -- Sri Ramana

(3) Sri Nisargadatta-Wise:

"You will have that peace and quietude only when you know yourself..."  

(4) Sri-Papaiji-Wise:

"Let there be Peace and Love

Among All Beings of the Universe;

Let there Be Peace!

Let there Be Peace!

Let there Be Peace!

Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti."

-- Sri Papiji 

(5) Buddha-Wise: 

"Better than a thousand hollow-words, is one word that brings peace."

"Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without."

"Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace."

(6) Scripture-Wise:

"And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly..." 1 Thessalonians 5:23 KJV

"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God." Matthew 5:9 KJV

"Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace." Psalm 37:37 KJV

"And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:7 KJV

"...let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Colossians 3:15 KJV

"...Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee..." Isaiah 26:3 KJV

(7) Gale Gibson-Wise:

"...Truly, God's kind of prosperity is "wholeness of life". It is the same meaning as the Hebrew word "Shalom", which means this:

"nothing is missing; nothing is lacking; whole; full; complete."

[Rich Note -- Two pertinent Wikipedia definitions:

A. "Shanti...means peace, rest, calmness, tranquility, or bliss."

B. "Shalom is a Hebrew word meaning peace, harmony, wholeness, completeness, prosperity, welfare and tranquility..."]

When you are apart from consciousness it is peace only. (SOC99)

Are you at peace with yourself? That is the ultimate criterion. .(SOC128)

The heart of things is peace (IAT537)

"...the source of all perception...has no need of peace and quietude because it is itself peace and quietude."

"Once the mind is quiet, keep it quiet. Don't get board with peace, be it, go deeper into it.

You will have that peace and quietude only when you know yourself, when you have that intimate knowledge "you are".

Buddha

Peace comes from within.  Do not seek it without.

Learn this from water: loud splashes the brook but the oceans depth are calm.

The whole secret of existence is to have no fear.

Hay-Ku of the Day (The Inside Story)

For those wishing to

Know Sri Nisargadatta

From the Inside Out.

http://stephenhwolinskyphdlibrary.com/downloads.html

[Rich Note: The following three quotes from Stephen Wolinsky's "Rays of the Absolute, A Gita for Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj" support a related Jackson Peterson insight, but only up to the point of how one chooses to identify the "Nameless or Ineffable Absolute," that is necessarily prior to even "Awareness of Awareness" (which one might call the Supreme Witness/Awareness, Highest State of Consciousness, the Single Eye of God or I-I, as Sri Ramana did).

(1) "Nisargadatta Maharaj, 'stay in the consciousness as a portal to the absolute, be the consciousness as a portal to the absolute ... the Absolute is prior to consciousness.'"

(2) "Nisargadatta Maharaj: “All you can teach is understanding the rest comes on its own.” Discard all as not this not this, (neti-neti), Be the consciousness, as the portal to the Absolute. All layers or veils are consciousness to be discarded, The I Am and the sense of beingness is a temporary state, Prior to them is the consciousness also called the Self of All." ]

(3) Nisargadatta Maharaj, “ In the Absolute I do not even know that I am.”

[Rich Note: Although "Awareness of Awareness," which is admittedly beyond "Awareness of Being, Consciousness or I AM" -- as the Self, God of All or Absolute Manifest in "Transcendent, Immanent and Incarnate" States of Self-Awareness or Consciousness -- as Jackson has pointed out, It is not the Absolute; but an Apparent Vibrant State or appearance thereof and in. 

Never-the-less, a case might be made for defining (at least partially, as Colin Drake recently concluded) the Absolute as Still or Pure Awareness (Unaware of Itself as THAT as a Stateless State or Absolute Potential to Be); and, in manifest Self-Expression, Vibrant Awareness (with "Awareness of Awareness" being the Highest or Primal State of Consciousness prior to Divine Self-Awareness or Consciousness as God or the Self of All)].

"Only God's energy is infinite – because he wants nothing for Himself. Be like Him..." -- Sri Nisargadatta 

(2) West:

"Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.

"That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. …Matthew 5:43-45 KJV
