The 4 Foundations of
Awareness:
Which Four
Foundations?
1: Only if
and when the Noble Friend resides
regarding any
Body -own or other-
simply as a heaped up group, just as a transient, compounded and complex form,
only as a fragile, accumulated and alien assemblage, while being alert,
aware and
thereby
clearly comprehending, then will he cause effective removal of all urge,
and frustration rooted in this world...!
2: Only if
and when a Noble Friend dwells
observing any
Feeling –from within or
from without– simply as an affective emotional reaction, as an assigned
response,
only as a fleeting sensation, while being keen, fully conscious and
continuously
attentive, then will he thereby consequently eliminate all desire, and
discontent
caused simply by being in contact with this world...!
3: Only if
and when a Noble Friend abides
viewing any
Mood
–present or remote-
simply as a fancy temper, just as a made up mentality, only as a conscious
moment,
while being ready, actively investigating and deliberately discriminating,
then will
he thereby naturally eradicate all longing, and sadness inherent in this
world...!
4:
Only when a clever Friend lives comprehending any
Phenomenon –internal or external –
simply as a passing mental state, just as a mentally created and conditioned
construct,
only as an experienced appearance, merely as a created, imaginary,
& reflected
imprint,
while being acutely awake, mindful and carefully understanding, then will he
thereby
overcome all attraction and repulsion entrenched, and ingrained in this world...!
Without any even single exception:
Whoever in the distant and ancient past has Awakened to full Enlightenment;
Whoever in the present, right now is Awakening to complete Enlightenment;
Whoever in the near and far future will
ever Awaken to perfect Enlightenment;
All those have been freed, is being freed,
and will be freed only through and by:
Initiating, cultivating &
establishing these
unique 4 Foundations of Awareness!
The single and sole cause of really
being mentally really present...!
