NO BRAINER

The mind thinks “I will Love You, Love You with all my heart”... but Beloved, how can that be even possible when my heart is not mine any more.

You have taken over my heart. So how can I love You with what is not mine?

Your were always in the heart while I was away in search of You.

Nor did I even pause to see if You were “already living there” for I was so busy searching for You outside. I kept missing You for so long and almost decided that You cannot be found.

Then while looking, the mind began to wonder “who is looking?” Who in “here” is searching? how could this somebody be different from You except in thought?

Who created this “me”? Who indeed is looking for whom?

Who is breathing in this breath? Who is breathing out automatically? Who is witnessing this mind, body and universe? Who lives this life I call my own?

Who gave rise to this “me” localized in the body mind contraption? Who is at once pulled into mind games and yet engages in this “search” for “You” and witnesses this movement?

THIS IS A NO BRAINER because Only YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU ARE THE DRIVER!!! You have always been the Driver. You created this phantom called “me” who seems to thrive as a separate independent entity, yet can’t help exposing itself as these words.

ਸਭੁ ਕਿਛੁ ਆਪੇ ਆਪਿ ਹੈ ਦੂਜਾ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਕੋਇ.ਜਿਉ ਬੋਲਾਏ ਤਿਉ ਬੋਲੀਐ ਜਾ ਆਪਿ ਬੋਲਾਏ ਸੋਇ

Sabh kichh âpe âp hai dûjâ avar na koe. Ji•o boIâ•e tio boIï•ai jâ âp buIâ•e so•e.

He Himself is everything; there is no other at all. I speak just as He makes me speak, when He Himself makes me speak.
