The Wise see neither sin nor sinner, and is not bound by valuations and distinctions. Everyone, and every-thing behaves according to his/her, its nature.
Opposing forces are seen as they are, not good or bad – just forces of opposites taking part in nature’s play. It cannot be helped, nor need it be regretted.
Life lives on life, a battleground between birth, survival and death, and by its very nature the process is compulsory; in society we choose, and in that choice by Nature we are compelled. Look at the body, in birth, life and death… it is itself a battleground of dead and dying, yet we do not condemn it.
Sin is in mind and body, in the nature of ignorance… the refusal to let go, refusal to sacrifice attachment. And in that refusal invites death… by holding on to the past, and that which does not belong.
This is as it is and gives no cause for condemnation or pity. Into ignorance we are borne, and out of ignorance we grow on the path of enlightenment. It is Nature’s way… our way. Enlightenment is inevitable; you can slow it down, divert its path, but it cannot be stopped.
There can be no life without sacrifice, just as the past must be sacrificed for the present, childhood for adulthood, caterpillar for butterfly. It is the call of peace and enlightenment: ‘Let go, Let go… be-here-now’
Sin, in the mind of the ignorant, when ignorance (the mother of sin) dissolves the compulsion to sin again ceases.
The wise can do no harm. It is not in their nature.
With ignorance coming to an end, things are then seen as they are, at-one… boundless, choiceless, and it is good.
