It's Not That Easy

TH'IDIOT was raised in a convict battalion on the dividing line between tundra and taiga in the Siberian wilderness, the offspring of an illicit liaison between Nicholas I, Tsar of all Russia and Betty Driver, Supervisor of all Hot Pots. His early life was marked by a readiness to address the reconstruction of autocracy after the ravages of the Napoleonic debacle. His first commission was in the Baltic fleet of a despondent haberdasher who wrote sonnets flavoured with mulled wine. Informed by an inexplicable righteousness he jumped ship a stone’s throw way from Dogger Bank. His instincts led him to the Isle of Dogs where the Artful Dodger in the guise of Mr S Marriott esq. was conducting seminars in ‘Advanced Cockney Walkabout Theory.’ Notwithstanding a rectitude rarely equalled by the inhabitants of New England circa 1685, he acquitted himself in this school of hard knocks with dazzling aplomb. He purloined various family heirlooms belonging to the wandering aristocracy of all Charles H. Dickens most laborious novels, found himself in Reading Gaol with a ravenous Oscar, who drummed into him the importance of being churlish. After a spell of porridge and a tedious parole supervised by Sammy Davis Janitor, he hit Vegas with an enthusiasm rarely equaled by the most dissolute Donkey Derby enthusiasts. Whilst there he became a favourite extra in all the major sitcoms of the era, such as the hilarious ‘Keep Your Eyes on the Beans, Maurice,’ and the much missed ‘Tales of the Head Lice of Tom Jones, Gentleman.’ Shunning the limelight he set up a halfway house for various discarded Elvi’s found abandoned on the Nevada state highway. His snakeskin breviary was seen in every vacant parking lot; his industry was unsparing. Soon the questionable progeny of every Tom, Dich and Hairy were adopting the form and manners of the discarded Elvi’s in the hope of eternal reward. Saint Paul gave up his promising Dodge City circuit in order to minister to the repellent thrill seekers. ‘At last,’ TH'IDIOT was heard to utter, ‘I am confronted by a beard worthy of me.’
‘If I weren’t so beastly short of money at the moment, I’d restore the Trondhiem cathedral,’ he said to the shoemaker.

He could eat as many as nine pies at once, keeping a tenth in his pocket, and was a master at filling one piece of chancery notepaper with so much libel that no one could read it through without coughing and sneezing in between.

If you want good kvass, then you must insult it, make it angry. Kvass can’t stand sweet things so throw in a few raisins, or some sugar – a small teaspoonful to a bucket will do. . .

Influences: The Great Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences. When love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and undisguised. Make the smallest distinction, however, and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart. If you wish to see the truth then hold no opinions for or against anything. To set up what you like against what you dislike is the disease of the mind. When the deep meaning of things is not understood the mind's essential peace is disturbed to no avail.The Way is perfect like vast space where nothing is lacking and nothing is in excess. Indeed, it is due to our choosing to accept or reject that we do not see the true nature of things. Live neither in the entanglements of outer things, nor in inner feelings of emptiness. Be serene in the oneness of things and such erroneous views will disappear by themselves. When you try to stop activity to achieve passivity your very effort fills you with activity. As long as you remain in one extreme or the other you will never know Oneness.Those who do not live in the single Way fail in both activity and passivity, assertion and denial. To deny the reality of things is to miss their reality; to assert the emptiness of things is to miss their reality. The more you talk and think about it, the further astray you wander from the truth. Stop talking and thinking, and there is nothing you will not be able to know. To return to the root is to find the meaning, but to pursue appearances is to miss the source. At the moment of inner enlightenment there is a going beyond appearances and emptiness. The changes that appear to occur in the empty world we call real only because of our ignorance. Do not search for the truth: only cease to cherish opinions.Do not tarry in the dualism: avoid such pursuits carefully. If there is even a trace of this and that, of right and wrong, the Mind-essence will be lost in confusion. Although all dualities come from the One, do not be attached even to this One. When the mind exists undisturbed in the Way nothing in the world can offend, and when a thing can no longer offend, it ceases to exist in the old way.When no discriminating thoughts arise, the old mind ceases to exist. When thought objects vanish, the thinking-subject vanishes, as when the mind vanishes, objects vanish. Things are objects because of the subject (mind); the mind (subject) is such because of things (objects). Understand the relativity of these two, Is based on Emptiness. In this Emptiness the two are indistinguishable and each contains in itself the whole world. If you do not discriminate between coarse and fine you will not be tempted to prejudice and opinion. To live in the Great Way is neither easy nor difficult, but those with limited views are fearful and irresolute: the faster they hurry, the slower they go, and attachment cannot be limited: even to be attached to the idea of enlightenment is to go astray. Just let things be in their own way and there will be neither coming nor going.Obey the nature of things and you will walk freely and undisturbed. When thought is in bondage the truth is hidden, for everything is murky and unclear, and the burdensome practice of judging brings annoyance and weariness. What benefit can be derived from distinctions and separations?If you wish to move in the One Way do not dislike even the world of senses and ideas. Indeed, to accept them fully is identical with true Enlightenment. The wise man strives to no goals but the foolish man fetters himself. There is one Dharma, not many: distinctions arise from the clinging needs of the ignorant. To seek Mind with the (discriminating) mind is the greatest of all mistakes.Rest and unrest derive from illusion; with enlightenment there is no liking and disliking. All dualities come from ignorant inference. They are like dreams or flowers in the air: foolish to try to grasp them. Gain and loss, right and wrong: such thoughts must finally be abolished at once.If the eye never sleeps, all dreams will naturally cease. If the mind makes no discriminations, the ten thousand things are as they are, of single essence. To understand the mystery of this One-essence is to be released from all entanglements. When all things are seen equally the timeless Self-essence is reached. No comparisons or analogies are possible in this causeless, relationless state.Consider movement stationary and the stationary in motion: both movement and rest disappear. When such dualities cease to exist Oneness itself cannot exist. To this ultimate finality no law or description applies.
