blissful sleep

Bliss without awareness, the unaware bliss is same as good sleep. Bad sleep is no sleep at all as your mind is disturbed and there is very little settling down. Good sleep is what you get naturally after the days work, your mind being undisturbed through out the day. Though unaware you get a glimpse of bliss during good sound sleep, and so deep sleep is always so good and refreshing. If unaware bliss is equal to such good sleep then, how will the bliss with full awareness be?

Hunting for the truth?

Why waste time hunting for the truth? It pulsates in every thing that can be percieved. Be still and see it in the mountain, in the trees, and also in yourself. You will never discover it by accumulating more knowledge. Knowledge creates doubt, and doubt makes you greedy for more knowledge. Because the truth is so subtle and the understanding and awareness can open the doors. Understanding that the named objects come out of unamed, beings come out non-being, the world emananetes from empty space, then know that the truth is in your own self and then remain content. Instead of making impulsive moves, be still and watch the world, you will know that it is already perfect, this subtle perfection declines when artificial actions are performed, so just be aware and be blissful. Be still and quiet. Discover the harmony in your own being. Embrace the truth. With this your real actions spring out with awareness. If you can do this, you will gain everything, and in your perception the world will become healthy again. If you can't, you will be lost in the shadows forever.

KEU - Knowledge, experience and understanding...

Knowledge if outdated becomes out of context for the current situation. Trust in the knowledge, experience and understanding that is available and existing for you NOW. Because the next moment brings new and fresh knowledge, experience and understanding for you to perceive! and so it goes on. Knowledge, experience and understanding thus not perceived at that moment becomes dead and past, that may torment you in future :-)
