“AWARENESS OF YOUR PRESENT SELF”

Realize that by clinging to your self-image or the way you think you should be, you completely lose sight of the simplicity and esoteric nature of “being in the present moment” as The Self, non-self.

Awareness of your present self is the beginning of the path to enlightenment.

Become aware of not the events that are happening or what you think you have experienced, but what is happening inside you right now as a result of being influenced by events of now.

For example, it could be confusion caused by an interaction with someone, or elation triggered by an event that has occurred.

Are you upset by them?

What is it like?

Why?

Where does it come from?

In this process, it is important to observe the whole picture carefully with the clarity of innermost stillness, without bringing in any judgment, or spiritual teachings, and so on, which are external matter.

No one needs to control or improve oneself through judgments of good and evil. Or, it is not to observe oneself out of a desire to attain enlightenment, which is totally counterproductive because of its doership; rather, one needs to purely know oneself as one is now.

If these whole picture, or its root can be seen through with the clarity of innermost stillness, you will naturally begin to see what you no longer need.

This is not something controlled by the conscious mind, such as “letting go because a sage said so,” but something that occurs naturally. It is precisely because you become aware of the no longer need something by what its root is seen through that letting go of them will happen on its own.

Blind beliefs, assumptions, projections, attachments, identifications, or so, which is not The Self, or doesn’t align with the path of the essence, such unnecessary will disappear in this way. (OM 🙏)
