Now since you're all here
And engaged in this sort of inquiry
And listening to this sort of lecture
I assume that you're all on the process of waking up
Or else you're teasing yourselves
With some kind of
Flirtation with waking up
Which you're not serious about
But I assume that maybe you're not serious, but you're sincere
That you are
Ready to wake up
So then
When you're in the way of waking up
And finding out who you really are
What you do
Is what the whole universe is doing
At the place you call here and now
You are something the whole universe is doing
In the same way that a wave
Is something that the whole ocean is doing
The real you
Is not a puppet
Which life pushes around
The real deep down you
Is the whole universe
But I assume that maybe you are not serious but sincere
That you are ready to wake up
