Non-dual poetry revealing what the mind cannot know what the heart has never forgotten
by Walter Cecchini and Priyam Saini
Discover for yourself that happiness is not dependent on circumstances but is your true nature, irrespective of conditions and situations. Begin and end your quest here.
Many believe awakening or self-discovery is either a complex mystical state, or that it doesn't exist. The truth is simple: causeless happiness is our true nature and is always available. Most of us are seeking happiness, in objects, other people and new experiences. The pursuit of happiness, in the so-called material world, can only temporarily mask our longing to return home to ourselves. The 60 poems in this book point the earnest seeker home, bypass the analytical mind, and resonate in the heart-space. Our true home is not a place, it is prior to mind. It is our very heart! "Take Heart, Seeker" is a practical companion, written to provide clarity and help point you back to your natural state, prior to mind, and to assist in effortlessly shedding all that is not essential to you. What remains? The poems in this book point to: "That!"
The end of suffering. This is the claim of self-realization, awakening or enlightenment. The complex or difficult part seems to be shedding the idea that this is in some way reserved for “special” beings or entails complex and difficult work. The truth is that it is simple and direct for those ready to set their thinking mind aside and ‘hear’ from a deeper place.
