Buddhahood Is All Encompassing
Basho was grieving at the death of his master. Basho was an enlightened soul and an aesthetic being. He took interest in painting and writing poems as well.
Basho's disciples were astonished at their master's grief, with tears rolling down his cheeks. They approached him and said, “Master, you are an enlightened being, why do you cry? You were the one who taught us that there is no death and the inner most core lives forever. This is not the end of your master, he has moved out of his earthly frame to the universal body of God. So why do you weep?
Basho, replied, “This is not your business. I am crying because I am at grief of my beloved master's death. I cannot pretend, in contrast to my inner feelings. I do not care what people think of me; that an enlightened person should break down this way"
Basho
continued,
“I
have
taught
you
that
the
soul
is
immortal
and
that
only
the
body
disappears.
That
is
why
I
am
crying.
I
am
aware
of
his
soul
merging
with
the
infinite,
but
what
of
his
form?
I
am
crying
for
his
form,
which
I
will
not
be
seeing
henceforth,
as
he
has
adorned
formlessness"
The
master
continued,
“I
will
not
be
able
to
look
into
his
eyes,
hold
his
hands
or
touch
his
feet.
I
am
crying
for
it.
I
do
not
care
whether
people
call
be
enlightened
or
not
enlightened,
which
is
their
business.
Who
cares?"
Buddhahood is not sterile. It is total, without negation, even the relative. It is all encompassing.
