Relating And Not Relating
Relating to others can only be a generalisation
as we each have individual karmic attitudes.
Words are also a generalisation;
they’re not the real thing, as that has to be experienced individually.
The closer we come to reality, the nearer we are to the open door, but the less we can relate this opening to others. Why? Because they don’t see the same opening. Our true nature is nothing extraordinary: it’s not a common experience as it’s the simplicity that others cannot understand.
When people react to a subject, they’ve closed the door,
and communication cannot continue.
The door is only an opening with nothing supporting it,
ergo, there is no door
– we have been in the open all along.
The open door is pure consciousness.
The result of realisation is a mixture of joy and sadness.
