Zen story: The koan of love within oneness being infinite too

Tweet

The New Zen master, at the Xdoe Monastery, Dogon Respolde, was trying to make his mark, in the very first few weeks of his leadership. He reversed some of the ideas, and decisions of his predecessors, and told his students, that oneness was nothing without love. Oneness has nothing to do with the mind, which can never grasp it, nor understand it. Only love can know oneness. Love makes oneness oneness, and without the infinite to love, God is dead to himself, even in his oneness, as love's energy, moving past him, through him, was generated in him, by his loving what he had created, and then an infinite cutup of oneness, gave love an endless scope to love the parts together again. God, and oneness, are the engine of love. Love remains inseparable from oneness, for it to be fully itself, though. When we try to separate love from God, we are no longer fully loving, but are doing something else then with our mind, which is more desiring, or liking. Love exists only outside of separation. Then, he gave them this koan to work on. He told them if they could solve this koan, they would really know the heart of Zen, which was love beating its heart within oneness, within God, endlessly linked to his creation, beating in each part of that creation too, in each heart of each soul created there too. "See the infiniticy of love within oneness as only oneness, and the infinite shows you to God as you. So who are you?" And then, he gave them the answer. "The oneness of infinity alive to itself, because of love alive in you as you, is you." Love within oneness is infinite within you, when you connect yourself back again seamlessly to oneness.

Be love, and the infinite separateness disappears for you, from you, again, and you become one with God again, then in his oneness.
