This taster of honey

This taster of honey

poem

Around me takes place the bustle of Life but to me it is internal. To me it is just withdrawal. To be cross-legged is the same as having a ball of fire. If you don’t have the Light on April 1 then you must be a Fool. You should be made to sit on a stool. It is when you do not eat that you can be great. You can make your home into a Buddhist temple. Instead of being a Stalinist you can actually buy your own pencil. When it rains you do not have to remain as if just a wastrel. The purpose of Life is to open up your brain stem. You don’t have to always be heretical. You have to prefer being transcendental. It helps to keep a time table. If you sit still then you are considered enlightened. You can cross your legs instead of just dropping the ball. You can forget about pain and just concentrate in your brain. You can hold within yourself the Buddha nature and maintain it very early instead of late which might actually make you become great. You can become a Power player as long as you practice your Bureau. Simran can be a cure for all other person’s mentally ill conditions. If they are narcissistically wounded it is not your problem. If they shutdown their mind then they won’t need to be controlling. To be enlightened can be placed on the forward horizon. The maintenance of the Third Eye is a serious matter and many people don’t even know they have it. If you have an extremely long spiritual journey ahead of you, you might want to set aside the time to make it. You can start at three provided you went to bed at eight. You do not have to carry-on like a wastrel and smoke marijuana and watch TV. It is not necessary to think about Alan Greenspan just because you want a lot of money. You can get you Doctorate in Computational Linguistics while at the same time insuring that your knees last longer. When you don’t have any Money then you can just Fast longer. The purpose of your Life could be just to Travel. You could just take a picture of your piano with your Tennis Racket and your Zabuton and your favorite book all together so people might better understand you. After a while your going up should be a deep form of submission and your Will is just used to start the sitting. Before long you can go into total Annihilation and that could be your explanation. You do not have to wait for brain transformation. You should not be very fat otherwise your knees might not hold up. Before it gets very late you can just sit straight. You can sit in meditation until the beans are through and then just read scripture. You do not have to remember everything or have a brain scan. You may remember that the Upanishads are something lasting. You can come to know “this taster of honey as the Self, the Life, near at hand”
