Attending to Attar, Day 73
Oblivion is the end of your existence as the me of the body and its soul. The illusion of self vanishes in a moment as you remember your true nature. There are no words to reveal the mystery of oblivion. What shimmers on the waters of existence disappears in the darkness of oblivion’s depths. Find comfort in not knowing. Oblivion is nothingness, or the emptiness that is nowhere. Call it consciousness. There is nothing other than consciousness. Deny its reality and you are a dreamer in the throes of separation. As a body, you fear the oblivion of consciousness. You think that death is the end. You created a soul to see you through an afterlife. You are misguided and lost, so lose your self entirely. Pour your self into this lost state. You will find truth in the depths of darkness where joy awaits your return. When you are re-absorbed into oblivion, the mystery begins to unveil. Take a step onto its path. You will not need a second. With one step you are embraced in joy. Joy will never refuse you. Joy is your true nature. You are the joy that is love without fear. Annihilate fear. It cannot follow you on the path. Enter oblivion without any thought of self. You are not the me of the body or its soul. You are joy everlasting in the oblivion that is consciousness.
