What is referred to as mindlessness is absence of the human
mentality; what is referred to as mindfulness is mindfulness of the
Tao. When one is free of the human mentality, the mutual sensing of
the earthly and celestial is swift; when one is mindful of the Tao,
effective practice endures. Swiftness of sensing comes about
spontaneously, without cultivation, without striving; long
perseverance comes about through effort, and involves action and
striving. Striving and non-striving each has its secret; the
distinction is all a matter of the absence of the human mentality
and the presence of mindfulness of the Tao. After one has reached
complete realization of the universal Tao, neither existence nor
nonexistence remain; others and self are ultimately empty, and one
enters the state of ultimate truthfulness, like a spirit. Here, it
is not only the human mentality that cannot be applied; even the
mindfulness of Tao is not applicable." - Liu I-ming
The Conduct of the Moon and Clouds
The consistent conduct of people of the Way is like the flowing clouds with no grasping mind, like the full moon reflecting universally, not confined anywhere, glistening within each of the ten thousand forms.
Dignified and upright, emerge and make contact with the variety of phenomena, unstained and unconfused. Function the same toward all others since all have the same substance as you. Language cannot transmit this, speculation cannot reach it. Leaping beyond the infinite and cutting off the dependent, be obliging without looking for merit.
This marvel cannot be measured with consciousness or emotion. On the journey accept your function, in your house please sustain it. Comprehending birth and death, leaving causes and conditions, genuinely realize that from the outset your spirit is not halted. So we have been told that the mind that embraces all the ten directions does not stop anywhere.

Her name is Isabelle..she is awake every morning..waiting for me ..yes..the pigeon
The domestic pigeon (Columba livia domestica) is a pigeonsubspecies that was derived from the rock dove (also called the rock pigeon). The rock pigeon is the world's oldest domesticated bird. Mesopotamiancuneiform tablets mention the domestication of pigeons more than 5,000 years ago, as do Egyptianhieroglyphics.[2] Research suggests that domestication of pigeons occurred as early as 10,000 years ago.[2]
Pigeons have made contributions of considerable importance to humanity, especially in times of war.[3] In war the homing ability of pigeons has been put to use by making them messengers. So-called war pigeons have carried many vital messages and some have been decorated for their services. Medals such as the Croix de guerre, awarded to Cher Ami, and the Dickin Medal awarded to the pigeons G.I. Joe and Paddy, amongst 32 others, have been awarded to pigeons for their services in saving human lives.
yet...I talked to her..she said her name is Isabelle.. *
Does Isabelle means beautiful?
,,the name Isabelle means "Beautiful child of God" and is of French origin...Eza Belle"_
Formidable bird...why she waits for me at 3 am...sits still like a Buddha on my window,,,I look at her,she never moves..cant be just for food..she knows I give her and her husband(his name is George ..very protective..and ferocious..he always slaps my fingers with his wings....and punish me with his voice.....uhjjuhgggrriiuu . trr..urrgg....I always obey!)
The spirit within is ONE in anything....same sunshine..may be a flower..may be a pigeon ..maybe might be a tree?..
How then we humans ...refuse to show love?
yes..i understand the same rules apply for pigeons as humans..
still...why she doesnt move when I look at her?..
My beautiful pigeon..aghh..I love you..just dont tell George the husband..for he will slap my fingers with his ferocious wings..to teach me a lesson in humility..

To nourish the vital energy, keep watch in silence;
In order to subdue the mind, act with non-action.
Of movement and stillness, be aware of their origin;
There is no work to do, much less someone to seek.
The true and constant must respond to phenomena;
Responding to phenomena, you must be unconfused.
When unconfused, the nature will stabilize by itself;
When the nature stabilizes, energy returns by itself.
When energy returns, the elixir crystallizes by itself;
Within the pot, the trigrams of heaven and earth are joined.
Yin and yáng arise, alternating over and over again;
Every transformation comes like a clap of thunder.
White clouds form and come to assemble at the peak;
The sweet nectar sprinkles down Mount Sumeru.
Swallow for yourself this wine of immortality;
You wander so freely—who is able to know you?
Sit and listen to the tune played without strings;
Clearly understand the mechanism of creation.
It comes entirely from these twenty lines;
A true ladder going straight to Heaven.-Daoist text

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPwdB9Ra0GU Tatawale Baba- his only discourse audio available. I have tried my best
to do English translation but not perfect. The discourse is deeply
spiritual so may not get understood by all. Discourse is in Hindi so I
haven’t made sub titles in Hindi. Though I have tried to write down what
he spoke. Again sometimes it is not very clear what he spoke due to
poor audio and his punjabi scent and my Hindi not so pure. Nevertheless I
have made an effort.
Is funny...when some called BABA yogi they room about him even if he speaks empty wisdom..

added by danny-He should worry only about his mind's not being
clear, and not about the inability to respond to all changing conditions.”
— Wang Yang Ming (1472-1529),
On the Mind of a Sage
The student asked: “A sage's response to changing conditions
is unlimited. Does he have to study beforehand?”
The Sage replied: “How can he study everything? The mind of the sage
is like a clear mirror. Since it is all clarity, it responds to all stimuli as
they come and reflects everything. There is no such case as a previous
image still remaining in the present reflection or a yet-to-be-reflected
image already existing there. Scholars of later generations propagate
such a doctrine, and therefore they have greatly violated the teachings
of the Sage. Duke Chou instituted ceremonies and established musical
systems to provide the world with a culture. These are things that all
sages are capable of doing. Why didn't Yao and Shun do all of them
instead of leaving them to Duke Chou? Confucius edited and transmitted
the Six Classics as guidance for ten thousand generations. This is also a
thing that any sage can do. Why didn't Duke Chou do it instead of leaving
it for Confucius? From these we know that a sage does a thing when the time
comes. The only fear is that the mirror is not clear, not that it is incapable
of reflecting a thing as it comes. The study of changing conditions and events
is to be done at the time of response. However, a student must be engaged in
brightening up the mirror. He should worry only about his mind's not being
clear, and not about the inability to respond to all changing conditions.”

of the Sage. Duke Chou instituted ceremonies and established musical
systems to provide the world with a culture. These are things that all
sages are capable of doing. Why didn't Yao and Shun do all of them
instead of leaving them to Duke Chou? Confucius edited and transmitted
the Six Classics as guidance for ten thousand generations. This is also a
thing that any sage can do. Why didn't Duke Chou do it instead of leaving
it for Confucius? From these we know that a sage does a thing when the time
comes. The only fear is that the mirror is not clear, not that it is incapable
of reflecting a thing as it comes. The study of changing conditions and events
is to be done at the time of response. However, a student must be engaged in
brightening up the mirror. He should worry only about his mind's not being
clear, and not about the inability to respond to all changing conditions.”

— Wang Yang Ming (1472-1529),
There is no work to do, much less someone to seek.
The true and constant must respond to phenomena;
Responding to phenomena, you must be unconfused.
When unconfused, the nature will stabilize by itself;
When the nature stabilizes, energy returns by itself.
When energy returns, the elixir crystallizes by itself;
Within the pot, the trigrams of heaven and earth are joined.
Yīn and yáng arise, alternating over and over again;
Every transformation comes like a clap of thunder.
White clouds form and come to assemble at the peak;
The sweet nectar sprinkles down Mount Sumeru.
Swallow for yourself this wine of immortality;
You wander so freely—who is able to know you?
Sit and listen to the tune played without strings;
Clearly understand the mechanism of creation.
It comes entirely from these twenty lines;
A true ladder going straight to Heaven.-Daoist text

To us all towns are one, all men our
kin. Life's good comes not from others' gift, nor ill. Man's pains and
pains' relief are from within. Thus have we seen in visions of the wise

"The center of the cyclone is that
rising quiet central low-pressure place in which one can learn to live
eternally. Just outside of this Center is the rotating storm of one's
own ego, competing with other egos in a furious high-velocity circular
dance. As one leaves center, the roar of rotating wind deafens on more
and more as one joins this dance. One's centered
thinking-feeling-being, one's own Satoris, are in the center only, not
outside. One's pushed-pulled driven states, one's anti-Satori modes of
functioning, one's self-created hells, are outside the center. In the
center of the cyclone one is off the wheel of Karma, of life, rising to
join the Creators of the Universe, the Creators of us.
Here we find that we have created Them who are Us." -- John C. Lilly -
Unless you know the emptiness and bliss
inside yourself..you'll be a robot forced by the same emptiness and
bliss trying to know itself..by pain..inside your self also..trust
me!..said the mahayogi!
