“NO THINKER NOR DOER”

Self-observation and self-inquiry are never about thinking.

It is always the mind (ego) that insists it thinks, and “I” and “mine” at all costs, saying things like, “This is the truth,” “I have awakened spiritually,” or “I know.”

In this way, the mind (ego) is rich in second-hand knowledge and experience in order to insist itself, but the substance that insists to have that knowledge and experience actually does not exist.

In fact, this is the very “emptiness” that the mind (ego) fears the most, and that’s why it always needs a deception out of fear of the fact that the mind (ego) does not exist.

In other words, the “I” and “mine” are illusions, and neither the thinker nor the doer actually exist anywhere; all that exist are the thoughts that the mind (ego) wants to believe they are the substance.

In fact, awareness, the Self, makes no claims.

It does not judge something “good” or “right,” nor does it judge something “bad” or “wrong.”

It does not say that it knows, nor does it say that it does not know.

This is because awareness is “knowledge, as Jnana,” “truth,” or “experience” itself without a doer; it is an immeasurable space of infinity where all possibilities that are more than both good and evil, appear and disappear.

Therefore, self-observation and self-inquiry are deepened spontaneously and inevitably due to endless pure curiosity and inquisitiveness, but are never dependent on any known second-hand knowledge or experience the mind (ego) insists as personal.

Instead, they are always accompanied by selfless and egoless openness as clarity, vision of the innermost stillness.

This is why transcending duality can occur unintentionally, and only then can all the separation as relative duality, such as observer and observed, completely disappear.

There is absolutely neither borrowed, second-hand knowledge nor personal experience there. (OM 🙏)
