“Top Priority”

What’s needed isn’t to understand the words of sages.

Instead, you need to become aware of what you are doing now.

And question your own words and reactions.

“Why is that?”
“Is that true?”
“Why does it have to be that way?”

Become aware of all of the hidden motives behind your words and reactions, your projected past, the mind’s (ego’s) deceptions disguised as good or evil, the ideas and beliefs that underlie your emotions, and the stories your mind (ego) loves to tell, all of these things through your outward words and reactions and inner movements.

In this way, dismantle illusions one by one, release unsublimated emotional energy (fully embrace it), and see through to the essence hidden within.

No need for control.

If you haven’t yet realized that gaining knowledge is simply giving the mind (ego) the illusion of knowing something, it’s only strengthening the ego, so it’s best to stop.

Realize that trying to be a good person, is simply a reaction of the mind (ego) because it cannot embrace yourself to be who it is.

Become aware why wishing for world peace or expecting people to be kind to each another is because the unsublimated sadness or suffering within you is stimulated and you cannot bear it, why you fail to recognize the mind’s (ego’s) dogmatism or self-righteousness is because you’re constantly addicted to try to change the outsise word, and that you are simply forcing the idea of good the mind thinks onto others and the world.

Realize that this is an illusion, an identification with thoughts.

In this way, make comprehending yourself your top priority above all else.

One cannot understand others without comprehension of oneself.

No one can ever grasp the wholeness, profundity, or infinity of The Self without comprehension of others.

Who could possibly live in the present moment without making self-comprehension their top priority?

Without knowing oneself, who could possibly realize the calmness of the essence, its openness, its omnipresence, the profound depth of ultimate love and compassion—which are incomparable to mere attachment or pity that the mind merely sooths itself, mistaken for love and compassion?

Become aware of what it means to truly cherish yourself (others), and what it means to choose the essence and not the mind (ego), by knowing yourself as you are here and now.

Spirituality, enlightenment can always, only begin from there. (OM 🙏)
