bliss
Bliss is the only real beauty in existence
Everything else is superficial
Everything else is phony.
Only bliss is our ultimate truth
Only bliss is not false because
It comes from our deepest core
From the very roots of our being.
It arises out of the center.
Everything else is on the circumference
Except bliss -- hence the search for bliss:
It is really the search for one's own being,
It is the search for self-knowledge
It is the search to discover one's own nature.
The moment we know who we are, bliss happens
Or vice versa: The moment we are blissful
We know who we are.
Bliss is the taste of our being, the flavour
The fragrance of our being.
And once the bliss has happened --
And everybody is entitled for it
It is everybody's birthright...
If it doesn't happen, only we are responsible:
We are not searching and seeking for it
We are not really interested
Involved into the search,
We are not intense enough to go into the depth.
We talk about it but we don't risk anything.
Taoism is the first step
Of risking for the search.
And the more you risk, the more you gain.
When one is ready to risk all, unconditionally
Immediately bliss happens.
Suddenly it starts welling up.
One's whole being becomes full of
A new kind of joy, untasted before, unknown before.
And it transforms everything:
It makes everything beautiful
It transforms everything into golden.
