Witnessing

You will have to learn this new art of seeing things without judging , of seeing things without verbalising, of seeing things without evaluating.See the rose, see the bird on the wing, see the night full of stars, see the river passing by, see the traffic. Listen to the songs of the birds or a train passing by. Start learning a new art of just being reflective,not bring any thought in, not saying anything at all.
It will take time - old habits die hard - but one day it happens.If you persist , if you are patient enough, if you go on and on working at cleaning your inner world ,one day it happens.And the benediction of that day is immense. In fact , you are born anew.You start seeing the same world with new eyes because your eyes are so clear, your mirror reflects so deeply ,so totally,without distortion ,that the same trees that you have seen before thousands of times - are far more green than they have ever been . and their greenness is no ordinary greenness : it is luminous , it is radiating light.
