“THE PATH TO TRUTH IS ALWAYS BEFORE YOU.”

Realize that you are playing some role.

If it is an illusion to think that this role is necessary for your partner, family, community, or the world, then the world in which you are playing it is also a complete illusion.

It is always the mind (ego) that wants to be special, and never, not once, has anyone who has actually awakened to the truth never ever considered themselves special.

On the contrary, by awakening to the truth, one becomes nobody, and realizes that the mind (ego) of “personal ‘I’” is always ignorant and foolish due to that ignorance.

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

There is no such thing as an individual anywhere.

Therefore, it is also all illusion, for example, to think that humanity is growing toward the same goal, that we need connection or help with each other, special guidance, or need to find personal significance of existence, and so on.

We are trapped in these illusions because of our perception of a separate and isolated mind (ego), and our identification is with the mind (ego) or the body. This is further reinforced by visual and physical information, unacknowledged feelings of loneliness or helplessness, memories of past hurts, etc. that are so deep-rooted, that we are blinded, and thus those make us feel the need to be special or the need for some kind of significance of existence.

In fact, the first step for enlightenment is to realize that these are illusions.

And then from there, through sincere and humble self-inquiry and self-observation, we move toward the truth.

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

When we speak of “truth,” do not get caught up in the idea of a personal life, as time with limit, such as this lifetime, for example.

Nor should you think that there is no meaning for life unless you achieve something special, or that you will suffer further karma or retribution unless you resolve your karma.

There is no transcendent personality anywhere that punishes or benefits us as separate, individual beings.

Yet, ever since the beginning of human history, the personal mind (ego) has been creating such illusions one after another by perceiving itself as so small and blindly believing it to be true, because it can never has universal wisdom or grasp of the truth directly.

In some cases, we might not have been able to come to terms with the world that the individual mind (ego) sees and lives in, otherwise.

However, this mind’s (ego’s) way of seeking answers so hastily, such impatience is the source from which illusions give birth to illusions, suffering, and conflict.

And the suffering and conflict that this mind (ego) wishes to “eliminate” in its manifest mind will never disappear from the world.

This is because this is the paradoxical nature of the relative duality that the mind (ego) sees.

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

Nevertheless, this is actually hugely important point where we can come closest to the truth.

It is when there is a very hard and deep suffering enough to completely acknowledge the powerlessness of the mind (ego), or for profound questioning of the life, that is, when there becomes completely no other way for the “personal I”, for the first time, we truly begin to walk the path of spiritual awakening, without realizing it.

Without it, in fact, no one would be able to spontaneously ask the ultimate question deep toward oneself, to sincerely deepen one’s self-inquiry, or even to awaken to the truth.

This is the ultimate meaning of “Blessed are those who mourn.”

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

In Absolute Reality, only this moment, now, exists at all times.

There is no past, no future, no mortal existence, and no separation, except in the thoughts of the mind (ego).

However, the mind (ego) trapped with the idea of separated individual will never be able to comprehend this completely transcendental truth; such as that time does not exist, that space is an illusion, that there is no separation of individuals, that there is only one omnipresence of consciousness at this very moment, that The Self is actually manifesting itself in various ways through all personal bodies, and that all of this is a game in a dream without good or evil that we create ourselves in order to become aware of The Self itself.

Therefore, if it is truly important for you to awaken spiritually, sooner or later you will come to realize that it is necessary above all to become humble enough to honestly be able to acknowledge the fact that the mind (ego) can never comprehend the truth, that is, to surrender your mind (ego) completely.

Only then, the door to the truth will inevitably open before us.

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

At that time, we will finally be free of the “personal I”, such as that gives rise to a sense of superiority that comes from thinking better than others, or arrogance of being able to help or teach others that based on one-sided judgments, and as well as opposite feelings such as the shame that comes from having knowledge but no living wisdom, or the powerlessness and self-deprecation that comes from not fulfilling our ideals, and we will finally exist there as the essence, a transcendental, pure egoless and selfless existence, completely without suffering or sorrow.
