Nirvana and Enlightenment #93

Mushin no Shin, "Mind unconscious of itself."

Life teaches unconsciousness.
Zen teaches conscious unconsciousness.

The mind that believes itself to be conscious is, in fact,
the most unconscious.

It separates itself from the wholeness of interactive oneness.

Lock yourself into your mind
and you will lock yourself into your ego.
Locked in an ego, you see life as hostile;
full of unfulfilled desires,
objects you can't possess,
people you cannot control,
and deeds you must do,
because the ends justify the means.

Let go of all the justification nonsense.
Meet NIRVANA.
