Haiku on existential precept of awareness


"Nobody can push you out of your trap - no guru, no drug, no mantra, nobody, including myself - nobody, especially myself. All that you have to do is to be aware from the beginning to the end, not become inattentive in the middle of it. This new quality of awareness is attention, and in this attention there is no frontier made by the 'me'. This attention is the highest form of virtue, therefore it is love. It is supreme intelligence, and there cannot be attention if you are not sensitive to the structure and the nature of these man-made traps," said the noted seer, philosopher and thinker in one his conversations with an audience.


Here are Haiku on 'awareness' as I have understood from Krishnamurti's conversation [1]


HAIKU


Do not seek and strive

Follow none, practice no trick -

World's resistive traps

***

Self-purify mind

Be aware of deluding world

And enticing mind

****

Be aware of Truth -

Your soulfulness - awareness -

And, be that ever! *** When awareness dawns

Then you live in the world

But no more of it ***

You - as awareness -

are real redeemers of traps -

Shun all Guru-traps!
