What is to be done will be done
at the proper time. Don't worry.

Abide in the Heart...
and surrender your acts to the Divine.

Love and Wisdom are not different.

And as Nisargadatta Maharaj said (says Dan to my Wise and Loving Kathleen, Whom I adore and Love exponentially)

"Wisdom says I am nothing.
Love says I am everything.
Between the two my life flows."

*
All you need is Wisdom
*

*
"All you need is Love."

For some a singer sings her love
For some she sings her youth
For others still she's like a dove
Elated in her truth.

But a singer sings us to the world
A world as yet divided,
And lonely, naked, bare and bold,
She brings us deep inside it.

The True Devotee:

"One who has no ill will toward any being, who is friendly and compassionate, free from egoism and self-sense, even-minded in pain and pleasure, and patient."

Bhagavadgita

*
"Just understand that birth-and-death is itself nirvana. There is nothing such as birth and death to be avoided; there is nothing such as nirvana to be sought. Only when you realize this are you free from birth and death."

"You certainly must cherish your illusions dearly for you to change the Buddha-mind into them so you can be deluded. If you only knew the great value of the Buddha-mind, there's no way you could ever be deluded again...."

For those whose minds are obscured by continual concepts,
Emptiness and compassion are expressed in words.

Saraha

"Uncomplicated people with spacious minds are easygoing, carefree, and as forthright as an innocent."

The Great Garuda
*

*
"For since the time without beginning all living beings have followed forms and sounds and pursued the flow of their thoughts without awakening to their pure, profound and permanent nature."

Surangama Sutra
*

*
"The perfection of wisdom is the non-dual wisdom."

Dignaga
*

*
"In contrast with compassion and unattached love, in which we are more at one with that which is loved, the various 'negative emotions' reinforce the dualistic sense of separation from others. I become more isolated in what may become the hell of my own private consciousness."

"All questions relating to mukti are inadmissable because mukti means release from bondage, which implies the present existence of bondage. There is no bondage and therefore no mukti either."

Nowhere to go.
No one to be.
