Cup and Water Wheel

Folder: 
Nonjudging

It is the dharma of

the cup to hold the water.

It is the dharma of the

water wheel to let go.

It is the dharma of the ocean

to hold in the depths

and let surface waves flow.



It is the dharma of one

to go north and another to

go south..



of one to be silent

and another to speak


Author's Notes/Comments: 

We write what we must
learn.. and so I record
what others have said
of nonjudging:

   THOUGHTS ON NONJUDGING
   (we write what we must learn)

   1.
   Leo Tolstoy and many others have taken the Bible's "Thou shalt not
   judge" literally and have refused
   to sit in judgment of others on juries or as judges.
   2.
   Sai Baba's words: "God the
   mathematician
   stands outside any equation.. no matter
   how
   long or complicated.. ready to render a
   plus
   or minus, multiplication or division
   sign"
   (paraphrased)

   3. Starseed Transmissions: You do not have
   enough data to
   assign value to any action

   4. HUA HU CHING
   Lao Tsu: translation by Brian Walker

   Those who wish to embody the Tao should embrace
   all beings. To embrace all beings means first
   that one holds no anger or resistance toward any
   idea or thing (or Avatar), living or dead, formed
   or formless. Acceptance is the very essence
   of the Tao.

   To embrace all beings means that one rids him
   or herself of any idea of separation: male and
   female, self and other, life and death.

   Division is contrary to the essence of the Tao.

   Foregoing antagonism and separation, one enters
   in the harmonious oneness of all beings.

   5. Shirdi Sai Baba: When we describe another's sins, we lick
   them off. (paraphrased)
   6. Kabir: Forgiveness is a game only saints play.
   7. Sri Yukteswar: The vanished lives of all (nonAvatars)
   are filled with many shames. Therefore do not judge
