To forget oneself...

Our 'normal' living, based on nothing but mental image-forming, has become so abnormal, that we are rarely able to give any attention to anything natural.

It is only when one is able to be one with nature -- witness what happens in nature without any personal reaction -- that it is possible to step out of the bind of the thinking mind, and be connected with the Being in which everything exists as part of Nature.

This is not really difficult. All it means is to forget oneself for the moment, as an individual entity, and feel the same stillness within and without. And then you see nature not as something stationary but as life, as movement.

All things in nature are one with totality, that they do not claim a separate existence as me and the other. There is total acceptance in nature.

~ Ramesh Balsekar, from: Nuggets of Wisdom
