Perfection in contemplation Poem: Perfection in contemplation is a matter of practice. I don’t have a Zen Master present to help me so I have to be my own. Each time my mind wanders, I have to stop it. The Absolute and the Soul always has to take precedence and comes first. Meditating all morning is essential. AM could stand for all-meditation while PM or afternoon stands for post meditation. That’s why I say spirituality is just time management. A goodly Safed Jew starts at midnight. A devoted Sikh starts at 3. It is important to take at least half a day seriously and not waste it. Some people just watch TV like time is just something you kill. Even though it is time that is killing you. I still sit in the evening even though I have meditated most of the morning - it adds more leverage and is natural. Enlightenment is like sanity and sense pleasure like insanity. You get too much of it and you have to recover. I sometimes read the Pali Canon because the only one I can trust is the Buddha. If I am tortured in the world I just assume it is associated with acceleration. The devil increases his violence in parallel with progress. I always try and lengthen my time span. Instead of just complain one can do Simran or listen to celestial music. You might ask -but what about work? Well Sawan says: “Except for bhajan and Simran, all other work is not your own.” A Poem by David Smith June 18, 2019
