Dear Joe,
Who is the thinker? Who is thinking and writing. Why does he think?
Even though at times he realizes that thought engulf him or he become
thoughts or he was totally possessed by thoughts and he is not aware
of presence around. He sees that thoughts keep moving one after the
other, then really who sees thoughts? Who is the observer? Is he also
part of thought or is he not thought?
It came to my mind that you cannot demand empty of thought, just like
you cannot expect sky should be without clouds. The clouds will be
there as long as water is there on the earth. We cannot expect water
not to be there, clouds not to be there. Does sky is bonded to clouds?
Does sky requires liberation? There was never a bondage between sky
and clouds, and hence liberation is out of question.
Then what does sky should do when it is covered by clouds, sky should
realize that in me clouds are passing by and watch without forgetting
its own nature.
