The KX Painter Drinking cup (skyphos) with confronting lions Archaic Period, c. 585–570 BCE Greece, Attica, Athens Ceramic, Black Figure, H 11.2 cm (4 7/16 in.) Museum of Fine Arts, Boston 97.366

"On the obverse, two lions stand confronted with their chests touching and their faces turned backwards towards the vessel’s handles. Each of the lions is rendered in black paint. Their manes, mouths, chests and bellies are all detailed with red paint, while the locks of hair along their necks alternate in color between red and black. Details of the lions’ anatomy are articulated with incisions. Their ferocity is implied especially by their open mouths, which display their large teeth and projecting tongues. On reverse, a complex interlocking lotus and palmette motif fills the entire pictorial field. The rim and handles of the vessel are decorated with thin linear bands. The lions and the lotus and palmette motif stand atop a red bounding line, below which is a pair of gridded lines and another red bounding line, which is in turn bordered by a ray pattern that emanates from the cup’s foot."

The words of a guru are a finger pointing. Initially the student fixates on the guru's pointing finger and on the words of the guru and on the guru himself/herself. The student looks to the guru and to the outside for happiness just like he/she has done their whole life .

But eventually, the student looks to where the guru's finger is pointing which is pointing right back at the student saying what you seek is right here within you and has been here the whole time. Just look within. It's all there.

An honest, humble guru delights in a student being free of the guru.

It's really simple

Shut the fuck up, look inside and relax.

That's it.

Anything else is mind.

Anything else is distraction.

Like writing this post.

The other day i was lying in bed

Relaxing

I feel my mind "wanting to do something"

A distraction

Restless

Even reading spiritual literature is a distraction

Even writing this post to you is a distraction

That's enough, Back to Being

i read this somewhere.....

Stop staring at the teapot and drink the tea.

Pir: a misspelling of bi, specially in Brazilian Portuguese. It can be a reclaimed slang term, as it's seen as a shorthand of piranha/piriguete or biscate (slutty/thot/hooker/bitch/hoe). Alts: pi, pyr.
