Action 4
“Singular movement”
The enlightened have declared that life is a singular movement. They have also said that life flows like a river. But, to every man and woman, life is full of actions, each separate from the other and not a singular flow as in a river.
So what is the understanding of the enlightened about life, is the question?
The wise understand that a moment in life was much before man was in the moment. The wise understand that the moment in life accommodated vegetation and animals much before the moment accommodated man within it.
The wise understand that the moment in life is not made by man or woman. The wise understand that the moment in life is manifested by the intelligence in life. The wise understand that the intelligence in life is consciousness.
The wise understand that God is neither a he nor a she. The wise understand that the intelligence in life or consciousness is manifested by God. A wise man or woman understands that God is pure intelligence.
The wise understand that every moment in life is not separate from the next moment in life because the wise understand that a moment is present in between a moment and the next moment.
A wise man or woman understands that the moment in life is eternal. A wise man or woman understands that only a single movement is present in every moment in life.
A wise man or woman understands that, since only a single movement is present in every moment in life, it signifies that life is a singular movement. A wise man or woman understands that every individual’s life is a singular movement.
A wise man and woman understand that what is within any moment in life cannot be other than what is within any moment. A wise man and woman understand that neither man nor woman can make what the movement is within any moment.
A wise man and woman understand that the movement in any moment cannot be other than the movement which is in the moment. A wise man and woman understand that every individual’s movement in any moment is what it is and cannot be other than what the movement is.
A wise man and woman understand that movement in every moment in his or her life is not identical with any individual’s movement. A wise man and woman understand that movement in every moment in his or her life may or may not be similar, but never identical with any individual’s movement.
A wise man and woman understand that life is a singular movement and it will go the way it is meant to go. A wise man and woman understand that the actuality of an action in life is an optical illusion of the singular movement in the individual’s life.
The enlightened realise that life is a play of light and sound

Editor’s Note:
In the ward of living things born into this created world, man was the last to be delivered. He alone was gifted with a mind enabling speech, thought, memory, knowing and understanding. He was awarded too an identity, confirmed by a name, belonging to him alone throughout his lifetime. No two paths in life for human beings are the same, such that there are those, albeit few, gifted with wisdom and those, the many, who are not. They have revealed that life is a play, albeit illusory, of light and sound. Understanding reveals that it is so.
