Could It be this Simple? 
YES!
WITHOUT SELF
THERE IS ONLY MOVEMENT/DOING
SOURCED BY THAT
WHICH CAN NEVER BE WORDED OR THOUGHT
JUST IS
=
ALL ATTEMPTS OF EXPLANATIONS
CAN ONLY ‘POINT TOWARDS’

Silence is an empty space.
Space is the home of the awakened mind. –
​Buddha

Bernadette Roberts
The Experience of No-Self
All that need be said is that it is a dynamic, intense state
of taking care of whatever arises in the now-moment.
It is a continuous waking state
in which the physical organism remains sensitive, responsive,
and totally unimpaired.
When fully adjusted to the dimension of no-self,
 nothing is found to be missing or wanting.
It is only in the encounter with other selves
that a self or affective system
is a reminder of what >was<.

"So there is only living in the now moment,
without feelings or practice of virtue,
without struggling or the measuring of action.
​
Roberts says,
"Somehow each moment contains within itself
the appropriate action for each tiny event in life 
without the need for thought or feeling."

We have to nourish our insight
into impermanence
every day.
​
If we do,
we will live more deeply,
suffer less,
and enjoy life
​ much more.

Deepening The Wonder
Hafiz

Death is a favour to us,
But our scales have lost their balance.
The impermanence of the body
Should give us great clarity,
Deepening the wonder in our senses and eyes
Of this mysterious existence we share
And are surely just traveling through.

If I were in the Tavern tonight,
Hafiz would call for drinks
And as the Master poured, I would be reminded
That all I know of life and myself is that
We are just a mid-air flight of golden wine
Between His Pitcher and His Cup.

If I were in the Tavern tonight,
I would buy freely for everyone in this world
Because our marriage with the Cruel Beauty
Of time and space cannot endure very long.

Death is a favour to us,
But our minds have lost their balance.
The miraculous existence and impermanence of Form
Always makes the illuminated ones
Laugh and Sing.
Hafiz

Many have died; you also will die.
The drum of death is being beaten.
The world has fallen in love with a dream.
Only sayings of the wise will remain.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men
to invent him a sentence to be ever in view,
and which should be true and appropriate
in all times and situations.

They presented him the words,
"And this too, shall pass away."

How much it expresses!
How chastening in the hour of pride!
How consoling in the depths of affliction! 
― Abraham Lincoln

Listen to the secret sound, the real sound, which is inside you.
The one no one talks of speaks the secret sound to himself,
and he is the one who has made it all.
― Kabir
