BUDDHA NOW

"Awakening is knowing that you are awake. But it does not end here, the highest awareness is when you transcend even being aware that you are aware, you become awareness. Such is the way of the mystic. He has harmonised with his twin, which is all the accumulated experience he was. He has become a Buddha now”, said the Yogi.

“Buddha now?” asked the snake.

“Suppose there is a mountain, a flag on top of which reads ‘I have reached the summit’, and you can read this flag from the bottom. But when you actually climb the mountain, reach the summit, you read a last word, ‘now’, I have reached the summit now. The ancients have already made you read the flag; you are Buddhas, you are Consciousness, you are children of God, you constitute Shivas. But you still need to climb, unveil, become that Oneness which is promised, do you understand? so, it is that when you start, it is always because you feel God is not, but by the time you reach, God is.”
