Doors to the self
You are the Only door to yourself, There is no other door to you other than yourself. You are the traveler, you are the path and you are the destination itself. But the mist of ignorance has covered your eyes so much that you simply do not see………The mist has to go…….once the mist leaves your garden….You begin to see the flowers, your eyes start to bathe in the rainbow of colors, your being is filled with fragrance……..your feet tread upon the silky grass .You bloom……….with ten thousand petals….you have reached home.
This is a beautiful happening , It Happens , it is not your doing, it has always been there , it has always existed, the beauty has never faded, the time has never passed, you can never achieve it, for you never lost it, you cannot lose it, No you cannot, for it is your very essence , it is very You. You just have to know it, to see it; you just have to be aware. With eyes closed, you imagine ten thousand things , you go astray, and for ages and eons the eyes have been closed ,the sleep has become very part of your being, it has penetrated you on very cellular and genetic level. You go on carrying this sleep with every breath you take, and even beyond the realm of life, you carry it even beyond death.
Fortunately, there is a memory, some forgotten memory that is still fragrant of those beautiful and rare moments when you have felt true joy when you had some glimpses of awareness, some utterly bright moment of clarity, some fine moment of happiness that lingers deep into your being. That is what you search, you keep on searching for it in many doors, you keep on knocking on many doors, you knock on doors of money, you knock on door, hatred, you knock the doors of pain, you knock the doors of sex, you knock the doors of greed and lust, but are returned empty handed with nothing but ashes in your hand. You are not a sinner, you are not evil, you are not unholy, you are just searching for that completeness, that joy, that aliveness, that intensity of living which is like a torch burning from both sides.
You are a Seeker , no matter in what direction , but you are a seeker, You are like that stream which runs here and there, gets blocked by mountains and rocks, but You shall reach one day, you shall be one with the ocean, you shall be home one day. All these enlightened masters, Buddha, Mahavira, Jesus, Krishna, Tilopa, Padmasambhava , Shankara , Baijid , al hillaj mansoor … all of them have stayed here and lived even after being free from the bonds of flesh for only one reason that you can get a glimpse of that beauty, that very richness of being whole, of that divine light through them. They are an assurance of existence for every living being that is lost in sleep . They become the doors, infact a window to that vast sky.
These great masters, were very compassionate beings, they knew that entities which are bathed in anxiety and agony will not find it easy to believe that they can be doors to themselves, that they themselves hold the key to this very treasure called Self. They knew that the sleep has took away all the dignity the soul had in itself. Hence they gave a practice, they gave a tool, they gave a Path. So that trusting their light you can walk within, search inside. Tao , Buddhism, Zen, Tantra , mysticism all of these are Tools to bring you to a certain state, a certain depth and heights, Once you are there , once your wings get the strength back , once your courage is crystallized , an alchemy happens, you take a dive from those cliffs, you open your wings and you simply dive , just to rise above in the vast , endless skies , in this endless and beautiful expanse of existence, you become a door to your self, you have reached home, you have arrived.
