Absolutely Effortless
You don't have to go anywhere, neither inward nor outward. You don't have to observe yourself or broaden your perspective. Just BE yourself. No effort is required. Why try to get rid of separations and differences that never existed? Everything we try to exclude is included. Be WHOLE; Be HERE; Be HUMAN. What is more simple than that?
For a long time, I didn't realize this. I didn't realize that being what you are is absolutely effortless. You don't have to expand your awareness, back up, go inward, outward or any other kind of maneuver. You have only to peek under this label mind, and this label thought and see what's there. Then BE what you find. Be it choicelessly, effortlessly, bodily and personally. The personal doesn't drop out, just because there is no perceivable self. Sensitivity and love don't diminish. One doesn't regress into an insensitive "who cares." Who you truly are care's. The Seer naturally loves the Seen. Seer and Seen are one. Knower and known are one. Seeker and sought are one. There's no where to go and nothing to do, except BE what you are, without all the spiritual contexts you've picked up along the way.
There really is no context for freedom. It is unavoidable. Wake up by finding out what you are beyond name and form, beyond labels. Then be anchored in the here and now by means of the body. The body is a beautiful anchor that doesn't inhibit freedom. Do you think that the body with tether freedom? The body is not a hidrance; I assure you. In fact, so often I find that people have woken up, but until they are grounded in the one Self, their sense of self is so apparently disintegrated. It's like so many satelites orbiting the earth, and that is the experience, when one is not grounded.
People are waking up, the identity is shifting, but they forget about the body. The forget that neti neti is just a technique for discrimination. Once realization dawns, you don't need to keep discriminating. In fact, by doing so, you miss the real truth. You miss the truth that you are That and nothing is not That. Thus, you are everything. You're not free from everything. You are everything, and that is a very big difference. Once that is known, everything naturally integrates into the one Self.
Love,
Prakash
