I dreamt last night I was on an Esher staircase...
Waves of Silence
The waves of mind
demand so much of Silence.
But She does not talk back
does not give answers or arguments.
She is the hidden author of every thought
every feeling
every moment.
Silence
She speaks only one word.
And that word is this very existence.
No name you give Her
touches Her
captures Her.
No understanding
can embrace Her.
Mind throws itself at Silence
demanding to be let in.
But no mind can enter into
Her radiant darkness
Her pure and smiling
nothingness.
The mind hurls itself
into sacred questions.
But Silence remains
unmoved by the tantrums.
She asks only for nothing.
Nothing
But you won't give in to Her
because it is the last coin
in your pocket.
And you would rather
give her your demands than
your sacred and empty hands.
(Adyashanti, 2003)
