“Become totally empty
Quiet the restlessness of the mind
Only then will you witness everything unfolding from emptiness”
― Lao Tzu

 

EMPTINESS

Sometimes there would be a rush of noisy visitors and the silence of the monastery would be shattered.

This would upset the disciples; not the Master, who seemed just as content with the noise as with the silence. To his protesting disciples he said one day,

"Silence is not the absence of sound, but the absence of self".

~Anthony de Mello

 

“He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.” ~Marcus Aurelius

“Emptiness which is conceptually liable to be mistaken for sheer nothingness is in fact the reservoir of infinite possibilities.”
― D.T. Suzuki

P.S:What if, in the midst of all the chaos that surrounds us….we are able to be at peace ???

Thank you for visiting the TREASURE TROVE today.

Namaste,

Bhagya
