Here, we are reminded of the inherent brilliance of the
spiritual source, which shines with clarity in the light of
Buddha Nature. The essence of reality, the very nature of what
is, is always present before us. However, our conditioned
minds, steeped in conceptual frameworks and intellectual
constructs, often prevent us from directly perceiving this
luminosity.
The brilliance of the spiritual source is ineffable, defying
our attempts to grasp it through intellection. It transcends
language and concepts, existing as a monolithic presence that
eludes definition. Our misguided reliance on knowing blinds us
to the radiant light that permeates everything.
To truly perceive the spiritual source, we must let go of our
attachment to conceptual frameworks and surrender to the
direct experience of our True Nature. It is a shift from
intellectual comprehension to a deeper, intuitive Oneness. The
conceptual analogues we encounter are not meant to be
dwellings for our attention; they are mere pointers, guiding
us towards the our true home.
When we free ourselves from the delusions born out of
conceptual fixation, we open ourselves to the flowing streams
that branch out in the dark. These streams represent the
multitude of manifestations and expressions of the spiritual
source as things. They move and intertwine, carrying the
essence of this nature everywhere.
Bearing witness to the dark, the unknown, we acknowledge that
the spiritual source flows on without our comprehension. It is
a call to remain humble and open, recognizing that our
understanding can never capture the full depth and breadth of
reality.
Understanding the ubiquitous presence of this Unity is not
awakening. It must be opened to and experienced directly. We
have to taste the wine directly to truly savor it. In this
place the taster and tasted merge and there is pure joy.
Awaken to this!
