No, i do not vet for indiscretions. I go with what is written. Otherwise no one would ever post anything from Osho, Trungpa Rinpoche, Sogyal Rinpoche, Maezumi Roshi and so many others.....

M: All suffering is borne of desire.
True love is never frustrated.....what can be frustrated is the desire for expression. Such desire is of the mind. As all things mental, frustration is inevitable.....
You are love itself--when you are not afraid.

Then all forms, including the one we called “I,” can in due time drop away (“die”) yet all is well. This is called Liberation.

The third miracle is that ultimately we recognize everything to have been the same boundless, formless Existence all along. The whoooosh of Love becomes omnidirectional, all-encompassing. 3/

The second miracle is that sometimes, in the course of this Life, some forms recognize each other as the same one boundless, formless Existence. This recognition is often heralded by a sort of whoooosh, as the once-rigid pretense of separateness is blown away into vapor. This is called Love.2/

So it is not just Seventh Avenue that I see but my Seventh Avenue, marked by my own selfhood and identity.4/

Why, out of a thousand possible perceptions, are these the ones I seize upon? Reflections, memories, associations, lie behind them. For consciousness is always active and selective — charged with feelings and meanings uniquely our own, informing our choices and interfusing our perceptions. 3/

But there are also other sensations that seem to come by themselves: the noise of a car backfiring, the smell of cigarette smoke as an upwind neighbor lights up.
These are all events which catch my attention for a moment as they happen.2/

It is not that the forms disappear, but that they become, as it were, transparent. You see through them, and what you see is being.
Everything you see, touch and know is lit from within by that same presence.2/

Your being no longer feels narrow or confined. It opens, quietly and effortlessly, into something vast, without edges, without end.
Thus, to rest as this – simply being aware – is the highest surrender. It is devotion in its purest form.2/
