The world of separation is one of this and that. It is a world of comparison and contrast. Objects are described and categorized. Distinctions abound. In this mix is the me of the body. Like all living things it spends its life dying. It is not real. Reality never began, and it has no end.
Beginnings and endings are thoughts of separation. There is nothing in separation to describe reality. Reality has no distinctions. It cannot be compared and contrasted. There is no other than reality. The me of the body is an illusion in consciousness. You are real. Words cannot touch your reality. Drop the words. Let them fall along the path. Their weight from the past holds you back. Move forward with lightness of being. Words from the past need not tag along. Let the past’s illusion return to stardust. It has no purpose as you cross over the doorsill into the room within. Herein lies joy. To know joy is to touch the eternal moment. Do not seek joy. Joy comes to you in the silence. Ready yourself to receive joy in abundance. No words required.
Joy is your true nature. Joy is love without fear. Fear is not a quality of your true nature. Your body and its personality experience fear. The me of the body is threatened by oblivion brought on by false perceptions of separation. The me of the body is limited and transitory. Your true nature is whole, complete, perfect, eternal. You have no boundaries or limitations. The way of the world is pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow. The way of the path is joy. Joy brings peace of heart in all situations. And remember, love is not special. You find it in all. It is to be given freely without expectation and received without attachment. Be the love you are every moment. This is joy in the world.
