jump into the ocean of your own being...

"You say the mind is blocking the Self.
Can the mind block the Self?
What watches blocked mind?
Is there anything that the mind is blocking that you need to see?
You are always reporting about what you are looking at, 
but the important things is: Where are you looking from?
And who are you looking as?
This is your moment to look from This as This itself."

The great Saint Frances of Assisi said:
"What we are looking for is where we are looking from."

Rumi also said: "I was knocking at a door. It opens.
I was knocking from inside."
 
"I am not here giving you 10 steps to follow.
I am pointing you to the stepless truth.
You must discover THAT inside yourself.
I point you to That, where you can never not be.
Something has brought you to this.
Here is your opportunity, an invitation
 to jump into in the ocean of your own being, 
which is here and now—your very Self.
Your part, our part from my view is to say inside your heart:
Yes, take me!
Yes, replace me with You. Merge my mind in You.
And this ‘You’ is who?
The Satguru within your own Self.
It is not a person. It is not an object.
Then you will know that this is your mighty existence!"

Your duty is to Be, and not to be this or that....

Reality is simply loss of ego (awareness of awareness). Destroy the ego by seeking its identity. Because the ego has no existence (being only thoughts), it will automatically vanish (when you are still), and Reality (awareness) will shine forth by itself in all its glory. This is the direct method. 

All other methods retain the ego. In those paths so many doubts arise, and the eternal question remains to be tackled. But in this method the final question is the only one and is raised from the very beginning.

No practices (sadhanas) are even necessary for this quest.

Your duty is to Be, and not to be this or that.

"I Am that I Am" sums up the whole truth; the method is summarized in "Be still."
The state we call Realization is simply being one's self,
 not knowing anything or becoming anything.

cleaning the lens of perception...

Buddha exclaimed on achieving enlightenment, 
"How wonderful! 
All beings are already enlightened, 
just as they are!"
