In study group, when discussing maha metta,
the feeling of non-duality
clicked in my heart.
Silapiya explained: “while metta involves self-reference,
maha metta is when generosity
spontaneously pours out of you,
because you no longer experience the person
sitting across from you as separate,
and you help them as you would help yourself.”
He looked at me across the table
as he said these words,
his eyes probing and sparkling,
something in his face inhuman, supra-human,
Yoda-like;
quivering with presence.
“You no longer experience yourself as a separate being –
but intertwined with all life.”
Every now and then it clicks:
the unconditioned,
medicine prescribed by the doctor,
a soothing relief,
a release in the heart.
“It’s just a ride” – Bill Hicks
Every time I touch into the dharma,
it is the most beautiful experience.
The release is always available
if you know how to turn the key.
