Wu Hsin ~ Cultivate silence

 


All that one can do is to be available.   
When the Emperor sends his carriage for you,
if you are not available, the Emperor cannot
be faulted for your failure to reach the palace.   
Disregard intellect and cultivate silence so that
you can hear the whisper of Intelligence.
This Intelligence is native,
not something that is developed or acquired.   
Although unknown to you,
you are saturated with It.   
Look closely and see the ease
with which distraction
dissipates the attentive energy.   
In that instant that you realise
that you are not present, you are presence.
