Emptiness is part of us and we are part of it.

 

 

 

Do not run away from emptiness.

 

Emptiness is part of us and we are part of it.

 

It is the emptiness of one’s stomach

that makes eating pleasurable.

 

It is in the emptiness of self

that one can see Self.

 

It is in the emptiness of the heart

that love can take residence inside.

 

It is in the emptiness of desires

that one is truly free.

 

It is in the emptiness of knowledge

that one seeks to know.

 

It is in the emptiness

that one can hear the movement of the soul.

 

It is in the emptiness of self

that illusions are shattered.

 

It is in the emptiness of beliefs

that naked truth is encountered.

 

It is in the emptiness inside

that the Divine is experienced.

So true. Never knew why some are so afraid of empty rooms and empty time. Everything has to be filled to the brim. So stressful, if you ask me.
