I like this bit about vehicles and destinations:
Wouldn't an enlightened Zen master believe in Zen? Wouldn't an enlightened Sufi believe in Islam?"
"You're talking about vehicles and destinations. Once one has arrived at the destination, the vehicle is discarded, forgotten. If I take a train to Chicago I get off the train and enjoy Chicago. I don't drag the train around behind me. It did its job. I don't need it any more. Of course, if one is going to turn back and help others with their journeys, then he would rely on the vehicle he knows."
"Which, in your case...?"
"Many vehicles."
Why I mention this is that I’m unsure of which folder to place this post. Zen or Toltec?
Well, as you can see, it ended up here.
This post is a small book by Eckhart Tolle. It’s free on the Internet so I see no reason not to post it here. If the moderators disagree with me, let me know and I’ll remove it ASAP.
I like this book, as I see a difference between stillness and silence. I see value in both, as the posts will explain.
Let’s continue on and let me know what you think.
