Life is an Ego-mind Trip
Ego-life and “enlightenment” can’t coexist.
So undo ego and BE beyond entity identity.
~ Ron Rattner, Sutra Sayings
Thinking and Being can’t coexist.
So stop thinking and start Being.
~ Ron Rattner, Sutra Sayings
Introduction.
Dear Friends,
Posted below is a sutra-essay poem (with mp3 recitation) about ego identification and “enlightenment”, composed during my post-retirement reclusive period.
In ‘deciphering’ this poem, you may wish to review prior postings about “What is Enlightenment” at https://sillysutras.com/?p=2925 and at https://sillysutras.com/?p=1180 .
Life is an Ego-mind Trip
Futilely seeking to
Know the unknowable,
We try to think the unthinkable,
Measure the immeasurable,
Divide the indivisible, and
Speak the unspeakable.
But only beyond the mind –
beyond belief –
beyond thought –
beyond words –
beyond seeming separations –
Only as Silence that says ALL
may we Know THAT –
ONE Eternal Life –
beyond ego-life,
beyond comprehension,
beyond imagination,
beyond description.
And so it shall BE –
ETERNALLY!
Ron’s Audio Recitation of “Life is an Ego-mind Trip”
Dedication
May this sutra poem help us find ever increasing inner happiness,
as we consider how and whether
Ego-life and “enlightenment” can coexist.
And so may it be!
Ron Rattner
Dear Ron, I’m so happy you are still here and sharing your insights with us. I’ve been reading your sutras for some years now and found them very uplifting and inspirational. Thank you so much for doing this.
