Sahaja and wu wei

Recommended Posts

Sahaja in the Buddhist sense comes from the mahasiddha Saraha - some call his teachings of mahamudra sahajayana

 

There are of course several other lineages that use and practice this, you find it in the nath tradition and other sivaite lineages, also kabir das a Sufi and bhakta saint talks-sings about it

 

Mostly when it cones to sahaja - people sing :D dohas vajrasongs etc.

 

Talking doesn't capture the rapture I guess

 

Now please enlighten me about the similarities of wu wei and sahaja samadhi???

 

First also some general description of wu wei if possible (I'm ignorant 100%)

I know nothing about sahaja samadhi and I claim no understanding of Buddhism or Taoism.

 

That said, when we realize that reality is transparent and that we need not attempt to manipulate it for our benefit, we laugh at our own silliness. After that, What better thing have we to do than sing?

I'd love to enlighten you my friend (Rigdzin) but that's up to God and His Grace.

The third garden-house lies in the skies.

When the axe within the mind cuts off the illusion,

the young maiden 'nairatma' wakes up,

like the tight net Bliss with the Void Woman by his side.

Discard and leave the live of the world.

Sabara is in great Bliss with the Void Woman by his side.

In my third house of this great universe

Suddenly a beautiful white 'Kapash' bursts open.

Look! Moonlight blooms over the garden of the third house.

The sky is in full blossom.

Kanguchinas are ripe, Sabar- Sabari become intoxicated.

Day after day passes and Sabar feels nothing.

He is enamoured by great happiness.

A four pole bamboo bed is made ; on it Sabara is burnt.

For him the jackal and the vultures cried.

It is the death of existence.

Sacrifice is offered in all ten directions.

Sabara met Narvan, Sabara is no more.

 

Caryapada no.50 from the caryagiti

If I read it fast enough I can hear the rhythm behind the rhymes.  Of course they sound totally different in Sanskrit or the mother tongue. 

The prana gets to now.
