“You are the Dharma. You are life. The flower and the tree are nothing but life. And life is never caught just in its expression. Life will always offer its expressions. So all this comes, comes, comes, comes. It comes out of nothing, just like the flower that’s not even there one day and shows up the next. Life expresses itself as a flower, a human, an insight, and losing the insight. But life is not limited to its expression. If the whole world blew up, there would be no less life, just fewer manifestations. Life would still be there. You would still be there. We make such a conceptual deal out of it, but when the earth blows away, life is still there. Like Ramana Maharshi said to his concerned students as he was dying, ‘They say I am going away, but where could I go?’ The flower will die, but life is just fine, thank you. Expression goes, insights go, personalities change, beliefs change. You remain.” ~Adyashanti, ‘Emptiness Dancing’
