Wide-Open Empathic Heart · Is Light in Peace & Radiance
⁘ “Seek that lightness, peace and radiance in a heart filled with empathy. Step aside from the framing of "me and me" and what I want. What can I do? Instead of what can I get? The heart blossoms when it flows free in the middle — liberated from the pushes and pulls of positives and negatives. The burdens of your heart rise and veil you when you assert your subject separation. Clear away the veils you craft. Your inner sun will shine — heartlight will radiate naturally.”
Seek that lightness, peace, radiance,
in a heart filled with empathy.
A heart wide open.
For all living beings.
For all of existence.
Where you step aside from
the framing of "me and me" and what I want.
Where you pause to consider:
What's the calling in the environment?
What can I do?
Instead of, what can I get?
The heart, just as every one
of your psycho-energic centers,
blossoms when it flows free in the middle,
liberated from the pushes and pulls
of positives and negatives.
The heart, they call
the "anahata chakram", the unstruck wheel.
The striking and beating
that adds to the burdens of your heart happens
when you assert your subject separation.
Contradictions, conflicts between you and the other,
between inside and outside,
between above and below.
And my friend, for as long as
you hold on to these separations,
as long as you remain biased, one way or another,
you will not land in the center.
You will simply keep on beating yourself,
you will keep on battling the world,
adding to the burdens of your being.
This friction, this burn, and the smoke
and smog that follows, veils your heart.
Clear away the veils you craft.
Your inner sun will shine,
the heartlight will radiate naturally.
