A Koan

Realization and non-realization are one and the same. What, then, is there to seek?

  1. O.K., so let me take a stab at this.............So, all there is, is "The One". If "I" say "I have the realization", it is "The One" experiencing itself as "realization". If "I" say........."I am not realized" then it is "The One" experiencing itself as not realized. But it is "The One" experiencing either "realization" or "non-realization". 'I" or "me", doesn't really exist, it is an apparent illusion, so can't experience anything. So why am I seeking, when all there is, is "The One" expressing itself through this body mind organism and experiencing itself through this body mind organism and "THAT" is what I really am. Oh.......my head hurts!

  2. I guess the answer would be that the Absolute is expressing itself as "I, the seeker". It's playing a game of I, Me, Myself. When the game is over all that's left is the original Absolute.
