CLARITY Don't look for God, the Master said. Just look--and all will be revealed. But how can one look? Each time you look at anything, see only what is there and nothing else. The disciples were bewildered, so the Master made it simpler: For instance: When you look at the moon, see the moon and nothing else. What else could you see except the moon when one looks at the moon? A hungry person could see a ball of cheese. A lover, the face of his beloved.

SENSITIVITY How shall I experience my oneness with creation? By listening, said the Master. And how am I to listen? Become an ear that gives heed to every sing thing the universe is saying. The moment you hear something you yourself is say, stop.

IMPRISONMENT You are so proud of your intelligence, said the Master to a disciple. You are like the condemned man who is proud of the vastness of his prison cell.

DISCRIMINATION Said the jilted lover, I have burned my fingers once. I shall never fall in love again. Said the Master, You are like the cat who, having burned itself from sitting on a stove, refused to sit again.

Dagens de Mello:
When you go through life with preferences but don't let your happiness depend on any one of them, then you're awake. You're moving toward wakefulness.
Wakefulness, happiness - call it what you wish - is the state of nondelusion, where you see things not as you are but as they are, insofar as this is possible for a human being.
To drop illusions, to see things, to see reality.
Every time you are unhappy, you have added something to reality. It is that addition that makes you unhappy. I repeat: You have added something . . . a negative reaction in you.

Dagens de Mello:

IDENTITY How does one seek union with God? The harder you seek, the more distance you create between Him and you. So what does one do about the distance? Understand that it isn't there. does that mean that God and I are one? Not one. Not two. How is that possible? The sun and its light, the ocean and the wave, the singer and his song--not one. Not two.

According to legend, God sent an Angel to the Master with this message:" Ask for a million years of life and they will be given you. Or a million million. How long do you wish to live"?

"Eighty years", said the Master without the slightest hesitation.

The disciples were dismayed. "But, Master, if you lived for a million years, think how many generations would profit by your wisdom".

"If I lived for a million years, people would be more intent on lengthening their lives than on cultivating wisdom".

MORSEL:
And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years -- Abraham Lincoln

BONUS:
Sometimes even to live is an act of courage. -- Seneca
