Buddha's Victory: Never Born, Never Died

At the Center, nothing ever happens.
Liberation is easy.
Just wake up from the dream that "I" will perish when this body perishes.
"I" can refer to different things: this body, this lifetime, this breath, this mind, this personality, this vocation. Usually "I" indicates what is contained within the confines of my skin. This body has a strong survival instinct; it wants to live forever. My body, emotions, mind want pleasure, not pain. This body wants to survive death. This mind wants to live forever, to take up another body after this one dies. My mind thinks "I" will live on as memories in your mind, as the flesh and lives of my sons, and their offspring. My ego thinks "I" will continue to have a kind of life by the experience of my art, writing, photographs. My students will continue to vibrate with the words and experiences they have received from me.
At my Core, none of this matters.
None of this 'matters' in the literal meaning that the substance of my Being has never changed and will never change.
This is not because if some technique or some practice or some accomplishment through yoga, meditation or mantra.
The substance of Being has no specific location, neither within the confines of my body nor within the confines of your body. The substance of Being is everywhere all at once. The center of Being is the central mountain and the central mountain is everywhere all at once.
So why do we not feel this? Because we are so preoccupied with the happenings at the periphery, with the details of getting through this day, of surviving this crisis followed by that crisis, of caring and providing for our children and/or our parents, we are inundated with work, taxes, leaking plumbing, and never-ending challenges with our relationships.
To wake up is simple. Too simple for busy, complicated minds.
This is not some esoteric metaphysical notion.
This is the plain and simple fact: there is a 'something' which remains untouched, unmoved amidst all this coming and going, through all the pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow, success and failure, feeling good and feeling bad.
This 'something' is not personal and it is not something you can create.
All there is to do is look for it. Take my word for it. Take Osho's word. Take Tyohar's word. Take Adi Da's word. Take the word of somebody you trust enough to at least look for it.
If you honestly look for it, it will appear, just as the glorious blue sky appeared today after the rain and clouds moved through.
