it used to bother me but not anymore :)

It always bothered me. 'Why do people go to such extreme lengths?' I wondered. 'Surely once they've realised the truth they don't need to go to Yoga classes, or workshops and retreats anymore?' It bothered me.

But now it doesn't.

Once you have realised that you are not your thoughts, where is there to go?

What is there to do?

There is a saying; 'Before enlightenment, chop wood, fetch water. After enlightenment chop wood, fetch water.'

So what? Nothing changes?

Well, there is another saying; 'For those that don't know, there is no answer possible. For those that do know, there is no answer necessary.'

Profound huh? :)

It doesn't matter what you have done. It doesn't really matter what you do now either.

What matters? Or to be more precise, what matters to you?

What are you doing?

Everything arises from, and returns to nothing.
