“ESSENCE”

Our essence, consciousness itself, is not an emotion, nor a thought, nor a visible body.

Moreover, the essence is never own anything as individual.

Therefore, do not chase after emotions, thoughts, etc., whatever they may be, that come up in your mind.

They are unconsciously and easily associated with the ego by the mind, and the mind further misleads us into identifying with the ego.

They are transient things that simply appear and disappear.

However, if we become aware through self-observation that there is an unconscious pattern, we can begin self-inquiry for that apparent spiritual assignment.

In fact, they do not belong to the essence, nor can they ever control our life unless we allow them to do so ourselves.

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

The wisdom that leads us to the essence is never information.

Information is that only reinforce the ego, and that merely meaningless concepts and ideas that we collect.

On the other hand, the wisdom that leads us from misidentification with anything else other than the essence to the essence is that which can only serve as true wisdom when we humbly listen to the essence of that expression and self-inquiry the depths of ourselves through it.

It is nothing else.

Therefore, not only is there no true seeker in those who only collect information, but spiritual awakening never actually deepens, and such a way of the mind (ego) that lives only in the head, thus closing off the path to the essence, can never reach the truth, let alone comprehend it at all.

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

Listen only to the facts of all phenomena, and only to the essence of all beings, including you.

Without listening at all to how it appears to you. Because how it appears is the mind’s interpretation or the projected past, and all is illusion.

This means that if we humbly align ourselves and stay in a state of egolessness, day to day, everything in our daily lives can be used as a variety of practices to deepen our spiritual awakening.

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

There is always an interaction in each of our relationships with others.

So, when there is no oneness with them, then there is clearly a spiritual assignment there to which we need to turn our attention inwardly.

Having said that, it is always up to each of us to treat it as something noble.

We can use it simply to make it superior or inferior, right or wrong, or whatever by comparison and judgement in the ego level, or for self-suggestion that only increases the illusion, or to actually deepen our own spiritual awakening, or for whatsoever.

Whichever it is, it is a choice of each of us.

The only thing to remember is that whatever you choose, do not make excuses.

Excuses in fact direct only towards our mind, not anyone else, and are nothing more than telling our mind why we are not choosing the noble path and disguising it as if that is a real reason for not choosing it.

While doing so, we can never be being as pure essence, nor can we even come close to it.

In fact, just by stopping this “making excuses,” we can take step towards alignment with essence, which is the first priority of life.

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

Always be humble. (OM 🙏)
