The following words are not mine. They simply set the stage…
Some say that Enlightenment is “sudden”,
as if struck by lightning,
and one is never the same.
Some say that Realization
takes place “gradually”
just as the clouds evaporate,
dissipate with the wind and the rain,
and sun eventually shines brightly.
No perspective can attempt
to embrace the Truth
without a frame of reference.
Truth embraces all perspectives
and admits no reference point.
There is no point
in clinging to either
the “sudden” path or the “gradual” path,
and no point in resisting clinging,
when having nothing to gain or lose.
Harsha Satsangh
