one with the mother

they live

 

Because

she is one with the mother, 

her roots go deep, her foundation

stands firm, her life lasts

long, her vision

endures.

collect and keep happy experiences

natural mystic

 

The ideal of a mystic

is never to think of disagreeable things.

What one does not want to happen one should not

think about. A mystic erases from his mind all the disagreeable

things of the past. He collects and keeps his happy experiences, and

out of them, he makes a paradise. Are there not many unhappy

people who keep part of the past before them, causing

them pain in their heart? Past is past; it is gone.

There is eternity before us.

 

Hazrat Inayat Khan

the nature and work of a mystic

 

your own nature is the pure land

tsukioka yoshitoshi

 

The unenlightened person

does not understand his own true nature,

does not realize the Pure Land in his own body,

and thus petitions all over. The enlightened person

never differs no matter where he is. For this reason

the Buddha says, “Wherever I may be I am always

in comfort and bliss…If only your mind is pure,

your own nature is itself the Pure

Land of the West.”
