Cycles

Impression. . . expression. Inhalation. . . exhalation. Inspiration. . . exaltation.

The cycles of existence are beginningless and endless. We have lived before and we will live again. We have died before and we will die again. We have met with success and failure, and then again success and then again failure. We remember and we forget. We are remembered and one day we are forgotten. Everything gained or obtained came from here only. We did not bring anything with us when we came, and we will not take anything with us when we go.

We are here in this world but we are not of it. We are playing a role in a drama, but we are not the role. This world is not what it appears to be. All of this alludes to something not seen, not heard, not tasted, touched, smelled, remembered or imagined. All of this is an illusion, a dramatization, a play, a game, and a sport. There is something beyond all of this. When we discover the allusion in the illusion we are freed from self-delusion. Only then is our confusion removed.

When the mind is purified, clarified with the Wisdom of Consciousness, we get a glimpse into the nature of Ultimate Reality.
