The End of Problem

Rizal Affif — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 02:10:29 +0000

Problem is the gap between
reality and the ideal.

Remove ideals,
submerge fully on what is;
problems become

impossible.

Joy and Peace

Rizal Affif — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 23:00:59 +0000

So you really want joy, and peace?
Then choose to be,
just be.

There is no reason not to be,
except the ones you justify yourself.
So stop making excuses;
and be.

There,
you have it.

The Truth

Rizal Affif — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 05:07:57 +0000

Until you see God in every pair of eyes,
every seemingly-meaningless speck,
and every single fraction
of a passing second,

you have not really recognized Truth.

The Talkative Mind

Rizal Affif — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 02:33:24 +0000

People talk too much,
because of agitated mind;
they convert everything to words and concepts,
to make sense of every moment.

Deep within they fear the unknown.

The wise do not talk much.
They have learnt the secret to calm the mind;
they have become the Still Witness,
upon which the Universe revolves.

The Complete History of You

Rizal Affif — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 08:14:09 +0000

Out of Nothingness,
The Universe came into being.
Energy sparked, and descended into matter,
into elemental atoms.
Out of infinite probability,
dancing on the law of physics,
elements formed minerals,
minerals formed proteins,
and proteins clumped into the simplest of life.
And, out of infinite probability,
life danced on itself, and evolved;
into single cell organisms, into plants and invertebrates,
into complex animals, into early humans,
into our ancestors,
into the blossom of 12 billions years history of infinite probabilities–
–into you.

Realizing this, can you say your monetary problem,
or your relationship issue,
or whatever you think as great obstacles,
really matters?

One Truth

Rizal Affif — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 23:12:50 +0000

I guess the selfish gene is how the evolutionary biologists interpret Reality. It is one perspective.

Physical world being merely an illusion, too, is a perspective.

Believing one is true and one is false, then, is a form of clinging, or attachment, to a particular perspective.

One Truth must encompass and transcend all possible perspectives. It is not a star or a black hole, it is the whole universe.

I Am

Rizal Affif — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 23:14:21 +0000

I am not my country, not my family,
not my job, not my hobby, not my identity.

I am not my head, my torso, my legs, my arms,
not my body.

I am not my ideas;
not my thoughts, not my feelings, not my emotions.

I am the ultimate background upon which all of those,
are painted and erased.

I am what I am;

I am.

God Explained

Rizal Affif — Sun, 16 May 2010 23:19:06 +0000

Today I met a guy who wanted to know God, and asked me to explain God to him.

I patted his shoulder, and told him, that to know God, he must first drop the seeking for explanation about God.

Obstacle

Rizal Affif — Sun, 02 May 2010 22:41:00 +0000

What is an obstacle,
but an opportunity to grow, rise, and remember?

Source of Conflict

Rizal Affif — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 23:23:09 +0000

People desire improvements
but resist change.

That is why they are in
constant conflict.
