Hay-Ku of the Day (If Thine Eye Be Single)

Centered in the One
Abiding in the Balance
Mindful of the Light.

The Primal Light of
Quantum Awareness abides 
Within every Heart.

Conscious ignorance
Of the Light of Awareness 
Produces darkness.

***

A Mental Mirror
That absorbs Light will project
Darkness in its place.

The darkness of self-
Ignorance has no power 
Thought does not give it.

***

A Coherent State 
Of Conscious Awareness is 
All We are lacking.

A Coherent State 
Of Singular Awareness
Is All that One lacks.

***

A “Single-Eye” is 
A mind undivided by 
Mental reflection.

A “Single-Eye” is 
Consciousness undivided
By self-reflection.

A “Single-Eye” is 
Awareness undivided
By relative thought.

***

The "Light of God" is
The "Pure Awareness I Am"
"Conscious of Being."

The “Light of the World” 
Is the “Conscious Awareness 
Of God” in Our Hearts.

(1) Scripture-Wise: 

"In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." John 1:4-5 KJV

"As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world." John 9:5 KJV

"Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid." Matthew 5:14 KJV

"The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!" (Matthew 6:22-23 KJV)

(2) Metaphor-Wise:

9. Laser Beam: A laser beam is a state of coherent light in which all the light waves align and cease to impinge upon themselves. Said light waves may be likened to a collective group of energy vectors, which, when perfectly aligned, cease to lose a portion of their aggregate energy due to internal friction. Conceiving mental energy in a similar fashion, perfect alignment of mental energy vectors would necessarily yield the mental equivalent of a laser beam and thus produce a perfectly coherent state of mind—a unified condition of consciousness in which internal non-alignment, friction and energy loss no longer arise." 1992/2006

(3) Sri Nisargadatta-Wise:

"Even the sense 'I am' is composed of the pure light and the sense of being." (IAT201)

"Abidance in that knowledge 'I am' which does not identify with the body-mind is the spiritual light."(CA48)

"When you realize that you are the light of the world, you will also realize that you are the love of it; that to know is to love and to love is to know." (IAT 202)

"Concept and mind are beams of light from the Contemplator." (SOS 22)

"Bhagavan (God) is the light which is the manifest world." (SOS 152)

(4) John Wheeler-Wise:

"...Who would have known that my mind is intrinsically pure,
Who would have known that my mind is forever free from change,
Who would have known it gives rise to this manifested world,
Who would have known I would find
Buddha is the Light of my own mind..." (from a song John recorded entitled, "Huineng.")

(5). Buddha-Wise:

"Be your own light."
