It is the Wonderful Mystery

There is no me or you,
no seeker, no enlightenment,
no disciple and no guru.

There is no better or worse, no path,
and nothing that has to be achieved. ...

All appearance is source.
All that apparently manifests —
the world, the life story, the hypnotic dream of separation,
the search for home, is the one appearing as two,
the nothing appearing as everything,
the absolute appearing as the particular.

Nothing is happening,
but this, as it is, invites the apparent seeker
to rediscover that which already is,
the abiding uncaused, unchanging, impersonal silence
from which unconditional love
overflows and celebrates.

It is the wonderful mystery.
