From the Full

From the full: 

perhaps the most profound line of all, regardless of texts, the first words of the Isha Upanishads is revealing in its brevity and depth - 

"That is full, This is full. From full comes the full." 

it's tempting to say that it could take a lifetime to unpack these few words, for it to fully sink in and realized to the point of it being a living actuality. But I'm not so sure, I think it's more a matter of being ripe for the damage of the words, their impact so striking that the ego's hold is shattered and we're simply left with the fullness they describe. 

and from the full comes the full. 

we are that. 

the beauty of this line is that it leaves absolutely nothing out, there's only inclusion here. Look around at the the beauty of life and know with certainty that we belong, intimately so, without even the slightest degree of separation existing from what's seen and our deep participation. These words place us directly in the action, amidst life there's only life, and that's exactly where we're found. 

from the full.

of course I've read those words literally hundreds of times with little impact, beautiful I thought, but let's get on to more important matters, past the introduction to the actual truth and wisdom of this ancient text. I glossed over the message, maybe just not ready for the whispered secret here. 

only fullness exist. 

and I am that already.

from the full...

here.
