“I” is an anchor,
when the shift from “me” to all
has occurred.
If attention floats
or is distracted
towards “me” as a center of attention,
the simple statement “I”
accompanied by knowledge
will return the focus of attention
to the Heart.
“I” is the home of all.
“I” is the center of being.
“I” as knowledge
is not the “me” of forgotten-mind,
of ignorance.
“I” as knowledge
is remembrance of the Heart
as the core of all,
as the center,
as the true “I” of everything.
To be centered in “I”
is not to be “me”.
It is to be all,
one with all
from the center.
“I am here, now.”
This is fact.
Everything else changes.
Focus on this one fact.
Know thy Self,
and be happy.
Stillness is like a deep well
because it is life everlasting,
eternal.
Illusion is at the surface
in the world of changing,
non-lasting.
When one focuses on illusion,
one is split in many directions
unaware of the constancy
of one’s Self.
When one is focused on stillness
one is aware of constancy.
Constancy remains peaceful,
even through the appearance
of change.
Stillness is always present.
It is within and it is without.
It is the one reality,
always constant,
never wavering.
When one is not listening to stillness,
one is focused on illusion.
Illusion is not important.
With desire-stillness,
it can be put aside.
When one is listening to stillness,
one moves and functions within illusion,
but one has not forgotten constant-stillness.
Therefore, one is peaceful, happy, content,
and guided by stillness
as a representative of stillness
within the world.
