“IGNORANCE OR FOOLISHNESS.”

Our true nature is never ignorant or foolish.

The true nature is this very consciousness that observes and perceives all things, where there is no ‘I’ or ‘you,’ as ego or mind. This consciousness that generates cosmic wisdom can never be ignorant or foolish.

On the other hand, the mind that is still asleep – the Self that identifies with Mind, body, or everything else outside of the Consciousness – cannot escape ignorance or its foolishness by its myopic vision.

This sleeping mind can not realize that they are asleep. Rather, they believe they are awake. Because their eyes are open and they can see things.

However, the mind that wants to believe that it is awake, stubbornly clings to the image that, as if once it is awake it will automatically stay awake, even though in fact, it takes continuous practice and discipline to stay awake, and it will never be sudden and become awake all the time. But rather than facing directly the fact, their sleeping selves, they insist loudly on how awake they are or how asleep others are.

This is because there is a belief at the unconscious level that is based on a kind of judgment that views being asleep negatively and sees it as a bad thing, and because of the self identified with the mind and its stubborn beliefs, it keeps itself from continuing to wake up.

Staying awake means never leaving the Consciousness which observes everything, and there is no room for the ‘I,’ as ego.

It is the very mind that wants to claim to be awake or that considers asleep as foolish, and that ignorance and foolishness are within the ego of unconscious mind, which accounts for nearly 90% of our conscious. And the mind actually continues to be asleep on and off.

Thus, ignorance and foolishness are always with the mind and unconscious ego, but to be with the Consciousness that keeps quietly observing everything, it will not be possible to compensate only by routine work such as meditating in the early morning.

It may be certainly a beginning, but it is essential to continue to practice and discipline deeper and more, far beyond the imagination of the mind.

And until we realize this fact and other than when we are actually with the Consciousness itself, we will continue to sleep on and off with the ignorance and foolishness of the Mind.

Thus, rather than disliking the mind or trying to avoid its ignorance and foolishness, we simply observe it as it is, and by accepting this fact, we quietly continue to repeat the process of leaving from the mind.🙏🌈✨
