However hard you may search for it,
Just tell me what your eyes are.
Become seeing, seeing, seeing!
Thou art not that body: thou art this spiritual Eye.
He became one-eyed.

the eyeless eye
and the I-less I
When the Zen master Satcho was asked where the demarcation line lies
between this vale of tears and the earthly paradise of fulfillment and
peace, he answered: The field of vision is something open, but its openness is not due to our looking. Heidegger I am, as it were, an eye that the cosmos uses to look at itself. The Mind is not mine alone; the Mind is everywhere. Rudy Rucker, The Fourth Dimension Real vision is eyeless. Anandamayi Ma It is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. Standing on the bare ground, my head bathed by the blithe air, and uplifted into infinite space, all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eyeball. I am nothing. I see all. The currents of the Universal Being circulate through me - I am part or parcel of God. Ralph Waldo Emerson Jesus said to them: When you make the two one… then you will go into the Kingdom. Gospel of Thomas By what means do this body or mind perceive? Can they perceive with the eyes, ears…? No. Your own Nature, being essentially pure and utterly still, is capable of perception. Hui-hai There is no seer but Him, no one to hear but him, no one thinking, no one aware but Him. He is the Self, the Ruler within, the One Immortal. Brihadaranyaka Upanishad Seeing truly is not merely a change in the direction of seeing, but a change in its very center, in which the seer himself disappears. Ramesh S Balsekar Of inconceivable power am I; without eyes I see; without ears I hear. Kaivalya Upanishad www.headless.org ~

The eye is the candle of the body ...
The eye altering, alters all.
Become vision itself.
I look and listen without using eyes and ears.
Only God has seeing, hearing.
It is the Unborn which sees and hears, eats and sleeps. |
