Staring at the open field, freshness one may feel. Looking at the stars and the moon, wondering how far away they are. clouds seem untired at their movements, wandering to all parts. Little lamb kneels to suck milk. Look at them with a peaceful thought, and beyond the horizon there seems nothing but surely existence is sighted too. The naked eyes cannot see beyond, but the spiritual eye may see all. Open up ourselves to nature, everything has something to teach us. Allow nature to be our teacher. Through it, realization may reach the ultimate. Spiritual eye may open again, just as it was once opened to us, but unfortunately we have forgotten.

Living in this place earth, is like sailing in the vast ocean. If one navigates well, though in the middle of the ocean, one may still reach the shore. There is no plank that floats forever. One day it will reach the shore too. However, a plank moves in accordance with the waves and the current. Thus, it does not have a choice as to which shore to land. Human beings are different, they are given a choice. The course is given, it depends on how fast one moves. Instead of screaming in the suffering sea, why not head for the shore? Reefs are plentiful but the lighthouse should guide the way. Follow its light so as not to wreck the boat. Use our naked eyes to see the light and follow the direction to reach the shore. Similarly in spiritual practice, we must first be in the right boat. Use our eyes to indentify the right boat to cross the suffering sea. A little caution, in the rough sea one travels alone.

Our limited freedom is like fishes that swim in freedom. Their movements are gentle and good. Drop a bait for them, the fishes will go towards it. Not knowing the trap within, they open their mouths to take the bite and regret it for the rest of their lives. For this very bite may be the end of their lives. Though one fish ends its life, yet its death means nothing at all. For no fish takes heed at all. Why be caught? After all it is only a bait. If it could be forgone, swimming freely the fishes will always remain. Just a moment of greed, a temptation that it cannot go through and that is the end of freedom too. Do we see similarity in human beings? One mistake can cause us our lives or it may destroy whatever we have built up for years. Be it business, happy family, health...we have to see clearly and overcome all emotions and desires. Our naked eyes may be blinded and only see the colorful side of it and take the same bite, just like the fishes. Do not be caught.

The guiding light is ever ready to shine, guiding all sentient beings. The great compassion of the above is shown to all alike. This is the time of awakening for all. Brighten your own mirror. Think of the carefree time. Cultivate the Way to its ultimate. Haven't seen all, yet know all. Realize the way of Truth. A dot that may cover all, expanding, it covers the whole Universe; contracting, it remains as a dot. Yet, nothing is not covered by it. What is the dot? We called it The Divine Eye or The Third Eye or The Spiritual Eye! Where is the Dot? How can we find it and how do we get it opened so that we could see through the world? The Spiritual eye may see all once it is opened. It can see beyond!

Do not be confused because a lot of lights seem to light, but all are loose lights. Centralize them together to form the glow. The brilliance strikes the eyes. With such a great brilliance, all beings may see. As the light gathers strongly, the feeling of knowledge fills the mind. Go into the stage of great voidness and be a part of the great nothingness. Merge with the Great Truth and awake again with a glow too. Awake this self, then the light lies within. Seeing only with the mortal's eyes can be very dangerous and opening of the Spiritual eye is the will of Heaven. To those who seek for it with sincerity will find it or it will come to them when the time ripen.
