“THERE IS NOTHING TO ACHIEVE.”

A person does not become someone by attaining enlightenment.

By realizing the truth and seeing through the facts, the unfounded illusions (separation, mistaken self-image, etc.) that one has held onto until then are just dismantled and dissolved.

Purification occurs spontaneously at the same time; in other words, without any effort, the illusion as the mind (ego) is surrendered by clear awareness of nothing to be able to do with the mind, and one liberates oneself from the illusion that one has unknowingly been holding onto by seeing through the facts, and simply becomes being.

On the other hand, the mind (ego) views all mere phenomena in terms of value judgments such as “good or bad” and condemns, or struggle against people with statements such as “XX should be eliminated” or, for example, “Peace could be achieved if everyone chose, but the reason people don’t is because they are greedy.”

To the mind (ego), this seems very plausible and logical, as if it were how people should be, but this is just a disguise used by the mind (ego) to maintain its illusion.

In reality, there is no such thing as “good” or “bad” in any phenomenon.

These “very plausible” thoughts actually always firmly support not only the illusion of the mind (ego) but also its attachments.

Moreover, the dogmatism, self-righteousness, and doership that can lurk in the depths of these thoughts and attachments, such as “I know what is important,” “The world must change. Those who don’t understand this are the ones who are more strange,””I am working so hard to change the world,” or etc. are the very drug of the most intoxicating for the mind (ego), which gives significance of existence to the mind (ego) that has illusion of separate self-recognition.

In fact, this tendency of the mind (ego), this type of thoughts like “I should be good” or “I should improve,” does keep appearing and disappearing just like before, even after one realizes the truth through the clarity of innermost stillness.

However, one can just detach oneslef as non-self from any thoughts or emotions as an illusion and just choose to remain a witness of all thoughts or emotions, which are mere impermanence, can arise inside, if one truly realized The Self, pure “I Am.”

Nevertheless, before we begin to truly inquire deep within ourselves, especially while we are strongly stuck on an unrecognized sense of separateness, we are easily influenced by the words and actions of people who we think to be far more spiritually awakened than we are, and by interpretation of them by our own mind (ego).

Therefore, it can never be uncommon, especially when the fear of death is strongly stimulated among people, to blindly rush to extremely exclusive behavior.

However, the most important fact not to forget is that people are always experiencing for each of what is necessary to become aware of the truth of The impersonal Self, as influencing each other in various level of interconnectedness.

In reality, there are no experiences, words, or reactions at all that need to be eliminated or controlled.

In other words, people are always in the best world they can perceive at that time, and are behaving in the best words and reactions possible at that time.

Conversely, if one could have made a different choice in the past, then everyone would have made a different choice at that time in the past.

But whether they realized it or not then, although a variety of factors came together and they were unable to do something, that is not a failure or a mistake at all.

This is not about justifying things, but about seeing through the facts as they are and embracing them as they are totally, without making any excuses whatsoever.

Moreover, what meaning is there in blaming yourself for not being able to do something at some point in the past, or blaming others for not aware (or, being able to) make that choice now, and what constructive effect does it have?

Not only is there the mind’s (ego’s) self-satisfaction that “I’m trying hard to be a good,” but deep within that lies the illusion and belief that, at some point in the past, “I’m unhappy now because I couldn’t do something, which I should do then. Therefore, I have to do now something to become happy, and I’m sure I can change now something.”

Looking at it from another angle, one is not accepting what has already happened, the choices one made at that time, and the “now” that one regards as its result.

In fact, everything the mind (ego) calls reality is an illusion with no real substance, but is actually the best perception of each being at that point in time. Those perception are for realizing the truth that not only far transcend the individual, but is also an utterly indescribable, grandiose, pure, formless, impersonal consciousness, the absolute reality, through the suffering we ourselves create by completely forgetting The Self and interpreting mere phenomena.

The reason why it happens is simply because Absolute Reality, by its non-dual nature, can never realize itself, and thus unavoidably needs duality.

In absolute reality, everything is a manifestation of divinity, and nothing else. (OM 🙏)
