The End of Problem

Rizal Affif — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 02:10:29 +0000

Problem is the gap between
reality and the ideal.

Remove ideals,
submerge fully on what is;
problems become

impossible.

A Secret of Clarity

Spill dirty water;
it will remain that way.

Leave it be,
let the dirt comes down;
only then,
the water becomes clear.

Lesson on Contentment

Rizal Affif — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 23:20:33 +0000

A grass never wishes to be
as tall and as strong as a banyan tree.
Nor a giant fig tries to blossom
flowers like an orchid.

Each of them is as perfect as it is meant to be;
they just be.

The End of Good vs Evil

Rizal Affif — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 02:05:27 +0000

Good can never annihilates evil
as much as evil can never obliterate good.
They are inseparable twins;
The stronger one gets,
the stronger another reacts.

The only way to end the conflict,
is to take them back to the origin;
No good, no evil,
just Oneness,
just is.

Joy and Peace

Rizal Affif — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 23:00:59 +0000

So you really want joy, and peace?
Then choose to be,
just be.

There is no reason not to be,
except the ones you justify yourself.
So stop making excuses;
and be.

There,
you have it.

Shit Happens

Rizal Affif — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 01:59:45 +0000

Just like everything else;
does it matter?

Remain centered,
and flow along,
Now.

The Ultimate

Rizal Affif — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 00:18:20 +0000

Breath in, embrace.

Breath out, let go.

One
after
another.

That is all
there is.

Compassion

Rizal Affif — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 00:05:43 +0000

A man whose daughter was fatally injured on a robbery finally meets his daughter’s perpetrator. He walked closer to the robber, patted him on the shoulder, looked at him in the eye, and said:

“I forgive you, I wish God forgive you too, and let His Love shines upon you.”

Perfect Life

Rizal Affif — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 22:25:04 +0000

A Master sent two young apprentices to a crowded city,
where they live separately from each other.
After three years, he called them back to the temple,
and greeted them both personally.

“How is your life in the city?” The Master asked.

“It’s challenging, Master.” The first apprentice answered.
“It is harder to maintain awareness there,
when I have to live among so many people,
enslaved by anxiety and desire,
living out of harmony with themselves,
and with the nature.
I am glad, I made it through.”

The Master nodded. “And how is yours?”

“I don’t know.” The second apprentice shrugged.
“I just seemed to meet perfect people,
and stumbled upon perfect chances;
everything is just perfect.”

Upon hearing this, The Master smiled.

The Truth

Rizal Affif — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 05:07:57 +0000

Until you see God in every pair of eyes,
every seemingly-meaningless speck,
and every single fraction
of a passing second,

you have not really recognized Truth.
