When the great Zen master Fa-ch'ang was dying, a squirrel screeched out on the roof."It's just this," he said, "and nothing more."
Love God in this way:
"Love him as he is: a not-God, a not-spirit, a not-person, a not-image; as a sheer, pure, clear One, which he is, sundered from all secondness; and in this One let us sink eternally, from nothing to nothing.
So help us God. Amen."
— Meister Eckhart

That is the experience you will have in your zazen practice... You are sitting and the stream is running, and you hear it. Even though you hear it, you have no idea of stream and you have no idea of zazen...you are just there like a blue mountain with white clouds. Shunryu Suzuki
“The child is innocence and forgetting, a new beginning, a sport, a self-propelling wheel, a Sacred Yes.”
- Friedrich Nietzsche
"What is more amazing
And what is more marvellous
Than that the two ascertainments -
That all these are empty of inherent existence
And that this effect arises from that cause -
Assist each other without impediment!"
~ Tsongkhapa

The body here is so peaceful. It is only interested in pumping blood, secreting pancreatic juices, moving its bowels. It is so blissful in and of itself that it is not at all interested in your so-called spiritual bliss, your yoga, your divine peace, your moksha, etc.

"Those who know that they are profound strive for clarity. Those who would like to seem profound strive for obscurity."

Like an old person basking in the sunshine, expand into a supremely blissful state of natural rest, which entails no causality, no acceptance or rejection.
