forty-nine

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Thinking and talking about the Integral Way 

are not the same as practicing it.

 

Who ever became a good rider by talking

about horses?

 

If you wish to embody the Tao,

Stop chattering and start practicing.

 

relax your body and quiet your senses.

 

return your mind to its original clarity.

 

Forget about being separated from others

and from the Divine Source.

 

As you return to Oneness, 

do not think of it 

or be in awe of it.

 

This is just another way of separating from it.

 

Simply merge into truth,

 and allow it to surround you.
