“SPIRITUAL RESPONSIBILITY”

Spiritual responsibility means that seeing through with the clarity of innermost stillness that the thoughts, the mind (ego), which is a self-identified as a doer, attempts to survive through the disguise as goodness or effort. And also seeing through that those are ego’s traps, deceptions, interpretations, or projections of past, that continually distance the essence from realizing the truth (The Self), and thus that you need to leave such illusions as they are but not taking them as fact.

This means allowing thoughts or emotions, which merely appear and disappear within, to simply appear and disappear, which means realizing that trying to control or change the external world, which is actually a projection of one’s inner state, seeking definite answers or approval from the outside, or disciplining or trying to improve the mind (ego) that one misidentifies as the Self, are actually meaningless symptomatic treatments for misperceptions and a shift a forcus away from the underlying problem.

In this way, seeing through that thoughs or emotions are groundless “lies,” impermanence, that merely appear and disappear within can be by the pure awareness of essence (which is connected directry with deepening spiritual awakening), never by the mind (ego).

People have some patterns of thoughs and emotions that they cultivated in the environment they grew up in, usually making it difficult for them to recognize them.

However, these patterned thoughts or emotional flows, stories, always contain spiritual challenges.

If you can inquiry their source thoroughly and see through that they are merely some patern of thoughts or emotions that a projection of values, interpretations, or etc., that unknowingly absorbed from the environment in which you grew up, which have’t yet been made an inquiry, but they are actually illusion disguised as voices of the essence, then the spiritual challenge will be complete.

Even if similar patterned thoughts or emotions appear within you again and again after that, once you’ve seen through that they are illusions, they will no longer have any power.

Therefore, what’s necessary is, no matter how undoubtedly you feel like you are a doer, who is increasing spiritual knowledge or taking action, you must set aside that sense of reality for the moment, inquiry the source of thoughts or emotions appear and disappear within you, and, with the clarity of innermost stillness, see through the fact that such an identification as a doer is in fact merely an illusion.

It’s not about judging who’s right.

It’s not about analyzing how accomplished you are.

It’s also not about defining who you are.

With completely pure selfless eyes of awareness, you must simply perceive the facts as they are.

Everything is inevitable, happens as it was meant to happen, and such the necessity will unmistakenly continue to happen from now on, as the law of nature.

No judgment or manipulation is necessary.

Although everything is impermanent, because of lack of awarness of The Self through direct comprehension and the sense of insecurity as self-groundless that arises from its ignorance, you resist what is and claim imaginary loves and connections as permanent, that are in fact merely attachment, or cling to them, but if you stop, and let go of all such illusions by seeing through the facts with clarity of the innermost stillness, all suffering will end.

It’s about truly knowing yourself.

The mind (ego) is always insisting, “I can see the truth, but others can’t,” or, “If only those people lived righteously like me, the world would be peaceful,” or, “If everyone worked together toward an ideal, the world would change.”

However, as a matter of fact, the mind (ego) is most critical of itself, setting all sorts of conditions and always blaming or punishing itself if it doesn’t meet them.

At the root of this is the belief that “I am not good enough” or “I am inadequate,” and they are identified with “personal ‘I’ = mind (ego).” And even if we have the spiritual knowledge of The Self, it is extremely difficult for anyone to realize the very premise of “I” is the source of our suffering because the knowledge (in the head, in the mind) and the awareness are completely different.

And because of this, it naturally becomes difficult to even acknowledge that we are unable to face reality head on.

However, what is necessary is to see through this mind (ego) as it is that we think of as ourselves not as something personal, but as something general, without subjecting it to any of the mind’s (ego’s) excuses or convenient interpretations.

Continue to ask, “What is this ‘self’?”

You will find the answer (self-awareness) through your own self-observation and self-inquiry with the clarity of the innermost stillness.

Otherwise, how can you comprehend or embrace yourself (others)?

How can someone who is unable to forgive themselves or love themselves unconditionally for who they are forgive or love others unconditionally?

So how can a moment of direct comprehension ever occur in which the awareness becomes aware that, ultimately, there are no other people, no self at all?

Has there really ever been possible in the human history when mere knowledge can fundamentally transform the way we are as human beings?

Has there ever really been a single person who, without knowing themselves, but with doership as the knowledge in the head or doings of the mind (ego), has had their worldview transformed, or their relationships with oneself (others) fundamentally transformed, or who, regardless of other people or the world around them, has walked a solitary spiritual path?

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

No matter what your mind (ego) tells you, see through the facts as they are with clarity of the innermost stillness.

Shed light on what you are trying to escape by indulging in doership as knowledge or doings of the mind (ego).

Then know what you are afraid of and embrace yourself as you are now.

That is the spiritual pathless path, and awareness itself you seek. (OM 🙏)
