What will clean the mind?
It was a harvest evening. The large sun was setting on the lake and it gave off a rusty red glow. The large full moon could be seen in the distance, bright and powerful. There was clarity to this moon as its reflected rays came through an atmosphere cleaned by four days of intense rain. The play of light on the water and the green banks and clean foliage revealed a deep sense of beauty. The trees washed with rain to the trunk, with their green leaves and dark brown and grey branches, were showing their strength and gentleness that created their longevity.
What will clean the mind of all the garbage and debris of a thousand yesterdays? We never seem to set aside the self, the ego and all its attachments. The space around us is so polluted by our on desires and expectations that everything humankind touches is corrupted. The mind longs to be fresh, clean and without burden, yet thought poisons everything we do by thinking it is needed in relationships. Thinking is the common denominator of mankind. It creates the psychology of ‘I’ that reacts and takes things personally. It is the thing that, when miserable, blames others and knows how they should change. Thinking creates the self that knows what is best for other people, and how they should live according to their particular bias. Thinking is the power trip, the gossip, hurt, and fear. It is also the infliction of religion, and the imposing of belief, to the right or left. We become political to remove the challenge of relationship. All behavior created and sustained with thought prevents relationship. Without relationship all life is without inspiration and meaning. To remain inspired is to enter relationship without effort and without belief which kills vulnerability.
Love has its root in vulnerability.
