If we could simply let our narratives, our thoughts drop, our being there actually be there, we may observe something quite profound yet quite simple. Hear it! It is, in a sense, extremely loud and imposing--if we are quietly just witnessing. That witnessing must be there at all times. If you observe it without a search, need, desire, or an agenda of any kind it will make itself known to you through its empty and powerful sense of pure otherness to all that may arise during the observing.
Many years ago, I was watching the snow fall and listening to a dog barking. This then arose:
Snow falls from where
the dog barks.
That was it, simple and yet powerful--so utterly powerful that it stopped thought. This source, as well as destination, was immediately purifying. I was born again. As we all are every moment we take the time to notice. The purification was swift, silent, and sentient. It was complete the first time with no need for a repeat performance. Imagine, this lightening bolt like (vajra), was so sharp and silent that there was no time at all to respond, judge, cling, like, dislike or interfere in any way with what simply was the case. There was simply no time at all.
