“HUMILITY AND SINCERE SELF-INQUIRY.”

When one is in a state of authentic humility, one learns from everything.

When one is in it, through self-observation without any judgment, one learns about one’s present self, including moment-to-moment physical changes, identification with the mind (ego), reactions of the unconscious (ego), and huge differences between one’s true nature and the mind (ego). Regardless of age or gender, one may learn from a little child, wildflowers or insects, and even artificial objects. It’s not just from a specific person with some kind of qualification, generally called a ‘teacher,’ but from just about everything, beyond genres, beyond living and inanimate objects.

When one is in this state of humility, one’s heart fully opens with innermost stillness, and one learns from everything, while at the same time having a pure gratitude that spontaneously arises from within.

One has a pure ‘gratitude’ for what one has learned, for the opportunity to learn, and even for being able to notice it.

This is the ultimate state of our true nature, mindlessness, where there is no mind (ego) that is proud of anything anywhere, where “I (ego) know nothing.”

Only through this ‘humility’ and sincere self-inquiry can one be naturally led to authentic spiritual awakening.

Only gathering knowledge of spiritual awakening or only learning from spiritual teachers will not help anyone to truly progress in spiritual awakening, but on the contrary, it is very common to fall into an even deeper spiritual slumber who is into self(ego)-complacency in a delusion based on deception that is convenient for the mind (ego) and further strengthening identification with the mind (ego) and body, etc..

Nevertheless, this is not a waste of time, because when a person connects to the innermost stillness, one can come to a realization even from it. However, still, this realization only happens when one is in a state of humility and sincere self-inquiry.

And as a matter of fact, this state of humility is the natural state of our true nature.

Therefore, each time you find yourself who is out of a state of humility and sincere self-inquiry, please return to this pure state first and foremost.

As one repeats this, it becomes easier and easier to return to one’s inherent state of being, and moreover, eventually there will no longer become need to return at all.

It is always important to cherish the ‘now’ and never resist anything in the ‘now.’

And then staying in the state of the humility and sincere self-inquiry wherever you are. (OM 🙏)
