FINDING THE TRACKS
 - Part II

Innumerable footprints 
has he seen in the forest and along the water's edge. 
Over yonder does he see the trampled grass?
 Even the deepest gorges of the topmost mountains 
can't hide this Ox's nose which reaches right to heaven.

At this stage, the searcher finds indications, clues in one or more spiritual traditions, he is attracted by books of wisdom, he assists to conferences on the subject, he meets masters and notices that there are others that have followed the same path, he is not the first person to have noticed that there is something subtle to attain. Through these he experiences sensations related to the spirit. In the first image the farmer searches all over, without a specific order, whereas in the second image his search is more focussed and better oriented.

Try to picture yourself as the ox, then as the farmer.

Finally as both!

LET YOUR MINDFLOW…
