Joy lies within
These are words of contemplation. They flow into the mind effortlessly from the still silence of the room within. What are they? Memories of readings? Memories of sayings? I do not know. They come in the silence. I write them down. Call them contemplations. They are repetitive reflections from the treasure within. The readings and sayings stimulate them. The room within offers them light as I sit in silence.
Jesus called this room within the kingdom of God. Many Christians call it the Christ center. Hindus have Atman. There is the Tao. The Buddha. All point to an inward journey. To take the journey is to reflect, to contemplate, to meditate. Hafiz felt need of a great pilgrimage, so he sat in the still silence for three days. From within the silence, you find true nature. Twia is your true nature. Listen to twia. Twia knows the way. To know this is to not need to journey. To know twia is to touch the eternal.
Twia is your true nature. You are the treasure within. You are joy. Joy is love without fear. Do not deny this truth. Live it in action. Great wealth may accumulate around you. Riches may rain down on you. Your everlasting abundance is the treasure within. Twia is neutral to all. There is no other. To live in wealth. To live in poverty. Neither matters within. To live in twia is to live without attachment to worldly ways. The way of the path lies within. Jesus said to sell all and buy the treasure.
Do not look upon this and that. Respond to the whole of the all. Attend to the whole. Find counsel in the wise. Give conscious effort to all things. Be mindful of the moment. Walk slowly. Breathe deeply. Act without doing. Accomplish all. To do nothing is to engage the whole of the all. Experience this and that without separation. What is that becomes this. What is this becomes that. Wake up to possibility. Slow down and live fully in twia.
Do not meddle. Do not contend. Remain serene. Live in wisdom without quarrel. You are the way. There is no other. Find light in the whole of the all. Relax. Stop nitpicking. Find nurturing within. You are the source of your own good. Do not struggle where there is none. You are not a child of circumstances. You are twia. The way is yours to know.
Be frugal. Live simply. Give much. Gain wisdom in the room within. Herein lies your virtue. Twia knows no limits. You are unending. Gather yourself into your true nature. Find possession in the whole of the all. Your roots are planted firmly in the ground of goodness. In this find nourishment. Grow steadily into the eternal. Do so without attachment or hope.
Enter into disagreements with humility. Be willing to step back. Do not charge forward in haste. Do not push and pull at the river. Bring peace of heart to all situations. Have no desire. Let the outcome find its way. Be at peace without desire. Follow twia. Release the river from your control. Open the flow to its natural way.
That which is, I AM, manifests separation as existence. Twia manifests the me of the body. Twia is awareness. You are discrete awareness. Like a molecule is water. The whole of awareness is I AM. I AM is the water. In body, you follow desire and hold judgment. You hope for more. As such, the world seems to be a scattering of forms. Live otherwise. Hold to the whole of the all. Live simply, without extravagance. Leave nature unaltered. Avoid ritual and sacrifice.
Are you caught in desire? Do you live in judgment and hope? To be free of desire is to live in joy. Joy is your true nature. Joy is eternal. It has no past. No future. Joy is the possibility of all things. Find abundance in joy. You are boundless. Never born. You cannot die. Accept all without desire. Do not live in judgment and hope. Live in joy as your true nature. You are I AM. There is no other.
