AVOIDING ONLY ONE THING

All your life, you have been trying to
AVOID Only One Thing...

All your life, you have been RUNNING
Away from Only One Thing...

You have been running Away from yourself.


You have been running away from... the
Emptiness... the Infinite Emptiness,
the Empty Infiniti!

But, it catches you again and again...
and, it feels like your Death!

No identity, no knowledge, no future,
no hope...
no other...
no time...
no space...
no form...
no shape...

no other...

and you RUN Away!


...

On its Surface it feels so Dreadful!

...


You can not have any relationship with it...
you can not talk to it...

You that can have any relationship...
simply disappears...

you that can have anything ceases...

and, you RUN Away... it is the Very
question of survival!

...


You turn the TV on...
You browse through the newspaper that
you have read 5 times before...
You browse the Internet...

You think...
You day-dream...

You even read 'spiritual' books...
Ramana, Buddha and Jesus...
Adya, Tolle, Katie, Balsekar, Niz,
Osho, Krishanmurthy...

Anything but you want to avoid this
Utter Endless, Bottomless Emptiness!

...

But, NO matter how fast you RUN...
No matter how Far you run...
No matter where you Run to...

It CATCHES you Again...

...because, it is You...
the Infinite Emptiness!

...

It is not so MUCH that you are seeking
God, Truth, Self, Void, Emptiness, the
DIVINE...

It is more that the Divine is CHASING You...

...and your entire STRUGGLE, your
entire effort is about ...Running Away!

All of SPIRITUALITY...

All of meditation...

practice, sadhna...

is merely ABOUT developing the
Courage, the Strength to Abide in THIS
Infinite Emptiness!
Surrender is merely a merely the
surrender to this inevitability...
Surrender to your Ultimate Reality...

Surrender to your ONLY Reality...

The Emptiness Infinity...

...

It is the Surrender of the effort...
surrender of the struggle...
surrender of the Running Away!

Because, in reality... you can NOT
really Run Away!

You can NOT really run Away from ...
what is essentially yourself!

the Only Self!

...

The UNDERSTANDING is the name of
seeing this reality...
Seeing the root of running away...

Seeing the futility of running away...
and, once you have TRULY Seen it...
...the Surrender MUST Happen!

Surrender to the Ultimate Reality!

Surrender to the Eventuality...

Your Death... the beginning of Eternity!
