Previous Poem, Anger, greed, attachment, and aversion Part Four, There is no becoming Being Next Poem, Everything you do is for stillness of mind, for Happiness

There is no becoming Being

It is simply a trick of the mind to think

that you need to be established in Self.

You are That!

Just stay as you are wherever you are.

Be there and you need to think.

Be Here and you need not think or use your mind.

This is Peace, this is Beauty.

It is a joke to look for Peace

when really there is no escape from it.

Search and practice are sheer ignorance,

because only being stupid requires practice.

The river makes no effort or practice

to come to the Ocean.

Cease attachment to thinking

and making effort and you will get it.

Don’t complicate yourself with thought and practice,

don’t even practice non-practicing, just Stay Quiet.
