“Anything may happen —
what is needed is sincere interest.
Earnestness does it.”
(Nisargadatta)

 

I cannot become what I am.
I cannot practice to be myself.

Identified as “me” I entertain a veil.

“What is needed is sincere interest”,
not practice, not effort.

 

“Hey, wait a moment… since decades
I entertain the idea of enlightenment…
how do I get out of the rat race of ‘me’
getting somewhere?”

 

The sense of “me” is a mental construct,
we are deeply invested in.

 

Our main tool in this world of name and form
is what we call ‘mind’: attention, interest, belief,

it will do them enormous good.
If they ask you what to do, what practices to adopt,
which way of life to follow, answer:
‘Do nothing, just be. In being all happens naturally.’”

me-chanism of old.

 

Human friendship, dedicated to truth and love,
is priceless. It gives us the courage to risk to poke
into our own me-bubble,
to bravely examine and understand suffering,
without being intimidated by thoughts or feelings.

 

It couldn’t be that simple!
complains the “me”.

I discern direct-experience from second-hand knowledge. I am aware of thinking, feeling and perceiving. I bravely examine the sense of “me”.
