An Excerpt from A Quiet Place

What do you 'think' about divine?
You can go on thinking about God, Heaven,
Last Judgment, Immortality...
And you may claim that you 'know' about God.

When you cannot see anything, what will you do?
The only thing that you can do is 'thinking'.
Because if you can see, there is no reason to think.

Thinking is not perception but only groping in the dark.
Thinking is not realization but only ruminating in the known.
Thinking never touches the unknown.

As like as you know love, you can see divine.
But so far as that has not happened to you yet,
You do collect, plagiarize, follow, and imitate others'.

Unless that is your own experience,
Unless that is your own knowledge,
Those are not worth to your own divine-realization.

Through such a collecting, gathering, and memorizing of others'
You will become a great scholar, theologian and preacher...
But you will not be enlightened.

The more you move in thinking and following,
The further you move away from the divine.

Bondage

Every desire is a bondage.
Even if you desire God, it is a bondage;
Even if you desire liberation, it is a bondage.

Attachment is a burden and bondage,
So liberation cannot happen
unless this desiring goes away totally.

Look at the sick people, they are longing for health.
When you sick, then you longing for health,
That longing for health is part of your illness.
If you are really healthy, you�ll not longing for that.
When you are healthy, you never feel that you are healthy.

�The Messiah will come only when he is no longer necessary.�

If you didn�t exist, God would not exist,
You are the cause that God is �God�;
So love yourself, accept yourself as you are,
Then the divinity is revealed to you.

Like is Known by Like

The mysterious ground of all being is usually called God.
God is not the cause of this world, but the teleology.
So prefer to think God as creativity itself,
Rather than as a person: creator.
God is not a phenomenon available for scientific study,
Because God has no noumenon to be studied.

Actually God is a possibility within you,
Unless you create Him, you will never be fulfilled.
Like as ordinary Christians will not be satisfied,
Unless they are told that Heavenly father is
Somewhere in a far-off Heaven, Not to be reached by us unaided.
Christ was only His begotten son, Christ alone knew Him,
And Christ alone can guide us...

But Jesus was born a Jew, lived as Jew and died a Jew.
He had never heard those words: Christ and Christians.
Even he had never known that he would be called as "Jesus Christ".
Because there is no such word as "Christ" in Hebrew.

Do you want to know God?Because like is known by like...

One and Only: You

I used to think that to love and to be loved are different.
But now I know that they are the same.
Because love brings the lover to union with the beloved.

What is the end of love?
Love has no end because the beloved has no end.
And the essence of love can have nothing to do with
What is sayable but performing.

Before your name entered my heart,
There were a million names.
Before I met you,
There were a million thoughts.
But I thought of you so often that all reduced to one and only.

You can exist without me but I cannot exist without you.
You stay in me until my last breath drops all I am carrying.

Between you and me,
There lingers an "I" which torments me.

When will it be possible to me,
That "I" will be absented from myself and presented with you?
When will "I" completely become you?

Spiritual Rather Than Religious

What do you have that you have not received?

You can have it so long as you seek it;
As soon as you think you have it,
You lost it.
Lost has meaning only in relation to found.

Once the Spirit Supreme has embraced you like love,
All forms turn to loves before your very eyes.
Once the Spiritual Nectar has been filled with,
You�ll not see the goblet, only smell its perfume.

Religious belief is notorious for encouraging
A sense of �us� against �them�,
Spirituality has nothing to do with boundaries,
Only material can be bounded.

The heart of a man is his own God,
My heart is satisfied with my own deeds,
There is no �other world�,
Because I only know that I�ve experienced.

If I am not for myself, who will be?
If I am only for myself, what am I?

State of Development

"Those who know do not say,
Those who say do not know."

"God is," is uttered by those who are ignorant,
"God is not," is uttered by those who do not know,
"God is and God is not," is uttered simultaneously by those who know.

God is not a thing which can be proved or disproved.
God is not an object about which we can take some opinion for or against.

God is a possibility that is within you!

If you travel to that possibility, it become real,
If you do not travel to that point, it is unreal.

It is not a question of whether God is or not.
It is a question of whether you want to grow to that point or not

When you reach to a point where you are totally conscious,
Then God is there!
