“THERE IS NO ‘CORRECT ANSWER’ AS THE MIND (EGO) WOULD HAVE IT.”

Life is not about having one correct answer and being OK with it all.

Nor is life about living the correct way.

The most metaphysical and most difficult part in life, spiritual awakening & liberation, to actually climb the stairs, one by one, and gradually open the door to the profound world, takes not only over a lifetime, but even often over several lifetimes.

There are many spiritual assignments for each one of us to do so – such as, challenges that are hard to recognize, hard to accept as fact, or, and hard to surrender the mind (ego) about that matter.

Nevertheless, for instance, if the mind (ego) thinks that one of the correct answer is spiritual awakening, the mind (ego) would say, “I know this, we are one, aren’t we?,” or “I am already awakened,” even if it has not cleared much of the spiritual assignments and the depth has not yet deepened as human being.

In this way, the mind (ego) tries to pass off their experience as something spiritual and important, simply based on what they interpreted with mere knowledge, or based on speculation based on the words of the sages, but inside it is full of impatience, fear, and a sense of lack. Or it often deceives itself by having various “something that can-do” because it does not want to realize the fact, as a trap of the ego.

Therefore, in the end, the important “now” is neglected, and it often remains unaware of the many more profound and spiritual things that can only be aware of in the “now.”

During this time, the two extremes frequently occur: such as, whether it sees itself as incapable of doing something important, thereby lowering its false self-esteem, or it becomes filled with false self-confidence by thinking it is able to do something as a personal being.

But truth has nothing to do with such “knowledge” or “correctness” at all.

Nor does it have anything to do with whether something is done or not.

It is only to continue to be purely and perfectly aware of being “itself” forever, without a single gap, “all is an impersonal ‘I,’ the Self, far beyond the individual as Oneness,” as if looking outward and inward, and the subject of that perception is pure essence, with the mind (ego) completely surrendered.

Thus, spiritual awakening is completely different from knowledge, which is something that is gathered by the desires of the mind (ego).

This “knowledge = mind (ego)”is the “fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, the forbidden fruit” that Adam and Eve have eaten, so to speak.

It has nothing to do with sexual matters at all, but by that knowledge (mind, ego, judging good and evil) that leads to comparisons, loses sight of the essence of innocence (non-duality, oneness, the Self), and starts to become ashamed of or hides nakedness (duality, separated body = false-self), under optical illusion.

That is not the beginning of sin at all, but it is the beginning of the relative cognitive world of ‘non-duality and duality’, which is essential for spiritual awakening, and is what we all do at the beginning of spiritual awakening journey for finding the essence again.

And since the whole process of this spiritual awakening journey is something that we inherit from our previous lives, while some of us becomes aware of spiritual profoundness at a very early ages, on the other hand, while many of us seem to reincarnate many times, but unknowingly avoid facing some of the spiritual assignments, and thus end up making the same spiritual assignments great difficulty.

Even though it is the mind (ego) itself that makes it more difficult by avoiding spiritual assignments, and yet it thinks of it as if it is a punishment or indulges in self-pity by it, or, on the contrary, it is also the same mind (ego) that has the illusion that it can become somebody great by clearing them.

If everything is us, what do we have to be proud of?

If everything is oneness, where is necessary to lament about not being able to do?

If all is only one consciousness, God, what on earth can we as the Self teach to whom and save others?

Ask yourself the question about each of your words and actions, its unconsciousness, “Why?”

Ask yourself the question, such as “What is the reason for that?”, or “What is the basis for that?”

Ask deep within yourself, “Why do I think I know about this world that is such a metaphysical and difficult to recognize, when in fact I may not know much about it?”

Furthermore, ask yourself this question, “Why am I so sure that what I know is all there is to the world?”

Continue to ask yourself toward the deepest depths of you humbly and sincerely.

Finally, all the mind (ego), body, emotions, thoughts, character, or etc. are not us as essence.

Those are merely tool to become aware of the essence, the Self, the impersonal “I” in the journey of spiritual awakening.

And this misidentification with the mind (ego) or the body or etc. as separated individual, which is an optical illusion, is the root of all problems, and realizing this and surrendering all mind (ego, illusion) is the essence of this journey of spiritual awakening.

※ Note : It is ‘surrendering the ego’, neither giving up, nor abandoning, nor renouncing. (OM 🙏)
