Mountain of Wisdom

Rizal Affif — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 23:01:22 +0000

At the base, the foot, most people gather.

Hike higher, there are less people around.

Hike even higher, only few people walk at such height.

Climb, until you find you are all alone.

Reach the peak; there is no one.

Dedicated to Dad, who begins to experience aloneness.
Because you are special, Dad.

An Imaginary Interview with Albert Einstein

Rizal Affif — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 04:36:59 +0000

Q: How did you invent the relativity theory?

A: Who says I invented it? I see it happening.

*Albert Einstein is a modern physicist who had witnessed the curvature of space and time ever since he was four. But only after he became a scientist–and translated what he had witnessed into mathematical equations, that others would believe him. To most, he was a genius; to me, he was also a wise man who can witness The Truth as it is.

The Essence of Meditation

Rizal Affif — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 16:21:30 +0000

Meditation is diving,
diving deep into Reality.
We are so used to live in Its outermost surface,
where the storm brings continuous, countless, change of forms.
Dive deep within;
under the surface, the sea is much calmer.
With disciplined practice,
you can dive deeper, and deeper, and deeper, until eventually,
you reach the bottom, the perfect still point,
where, lies the Priceless Pearl,
The Root of All-Existence,
The Ultimate Oneness.
