Just Be. Truth is BEING.


Stop.
Be Still.
Remain silent.
Meditators should be seen,
not heard.
Ssshhh.
Still
All the senses.
Let everything be.
Let go, and let it all
come to you.
Relax.
Being is in;
doing is out.
Do nothing.
For a moment
Just be.
Silence
is
golden.
Enjoy it.

- Awakening The Buddha Within by Lama Surya Das

Truth is BEING from moment to moment, and happiness that continues is not happiness. Happiness is that state of being which is timeless. That timeless state can only come when there is a tremendous discontent - not the discontent that has found a channel through which it escapes, but the discontent that has no outlet, that has no escape, that is no longer seeking fulfillment.

Only then, in that state of supreme discontent can reality come into being. That reality is not to be bought, to be sold, to be repeated; it cannot be caught in books. It is to be found from moment to moment, in the smile, in the tear under the dead leaf, in the vagrant thoughts, in the fullness of love.

Love is not different from truth.  Love is that state in which the thought process, as time, has completely ceased. Where love is, there is transformation. Without love, revolution has no meaning, for the revolution is merely destruction, decay, a greater and greater ever-mounting misery. Where there is love, there is revolution, because love is transformation from moment to moment.
