Minding What Happens

I read today…

“Don't mind what happens.
That is the essence of inner freedom.
Release attachment to outcomes,
And deep inside yourself,
You'll feel good, no matter what.”

This seems to me poorly worded,
Or perhaps taken from a broader context,
In which greater exposition was provided,
So the Absolute and Relative perspectives,
Were not confused and muddled.

This is a problem with snippets.

For I mind what happens… immensely,
I mind with the Whole of my Being,
Even as I understand that all that occurs is,
From the Absolute perspective,
In the nature of things…

And as it is.

I mind the suffering of the world, terribly,
With the Whole of my Being,
Even as I understand that all that occurs is,
From the Absolute perspective,
In the nature of things…

And as it is.

I strive with all my Heart for an outcome;
For the end of suffering, everywhere, now, and forever,
Even as I understand that all that occurs is,
From the Absolute perspective,
In the nature of things…

And what will be, will be.

This “minding”, this “caring”,
This Heartfelt “desire for an outcome”…
None of it diminishes the Inner Radiance,
That Shines in the Heart of my Being,
Full, Complete, Inexpressibly Ecstatic.

I mind what happens… a lot.

in Union, in The Absolute,
There is no space, time, or self,
To care what happens, or wish for outcomes,
But only Timeless, Spaceless, Objectless,
Unalloyed Pure Being…

And what Is… Is.

But here, in this Dream of manifestation,
I pray and act with all my Heart for suffering's end,
Even as I understand that all that occurs is,
From the Absolute perspective,
In the nature of things…

And what will be, will be.

It is not a matter of “not caring”,
But rather, a matter of accepting,
Of caring deeply, with all your Heart,
But having the Wisdom to understand,
That Heartfelt prayer and effort aside…

What will be… will be.

If I did not mind what happens,
And ache with all my Heart for suffering's end,
Then deep inside myself,
I would feel miserable,
No matter what.

In Love, I mind; in Wisdom, I accept.
