Quote:
The ancient Masters saw deeply.
How deep was their insight?
They realized that nothing exists.
This is perfect understanding.
Those at the next stage
thought that things existed
but saw no boundaries between them.
Next came those who saw boundaries
but didn’t judge things as good or bad.
When judgments arose,
understanding was damaged;
when understanding was damaged,
preferences became ingrained.
But is there really such a thing
as damage or wholeness?
The Master understands
that there is nothing to understand.
Commentary:
Most of think we know a lot. What if we do not know anything? What if in reality, we are immune to knowing? Is this reality real? Do we live in a reality that we create? Does it really matter? Why not just live? I suppose many would say, “How can we continue evolving, if we do not question our reality and our surroundings?” Well, how about by being and by living?
Do boundaries exist in our minds from birth? Or do we create the boundaries ourselves? Why not let things be as they are. I think the one way to evolve, is simply by living and being us. We have been questioning things to the point of exhaustion. Let us stop this kind of thinking and find another solution.
Let’s just be. Be with whoever brings you joy. Why do you need anything more than that? Personally, when I got rid of the complicated thoughts that is when I connected with myself.

"Let's just be." I agree. In fact, I cannot do anything more than that.
