Self-forgetting

Self-forgetting                                                                                                 
 
Shunryu Suzuki would sometimes begin
a discourse by instructing his students to 
 
‘listen carefully to what I say and then forget it’.
Truth is not found by following a set of instructions
 
nor remembering the salient points of a discourse.
Truth is found through an interior interaction
 
with Truth Itself, that eternal part of you already in the know.
Let us remember one thing only – Meher Baba
 
(as He has instructed) the sole abiding existence –
the only memory worth remembering,
 
the only concept invested
with divine intent and meaning.
 
O child of God, remembrance of Meher
unlocks the door of self-forgetting.
