You don’t have to change

If you try to change you,
you just end up with another you!

Through practice,
the view naturally changes…
It clarifies,
from duality (an artificial you) to non duality (pure perception).

It’s a tricky business, finding yourself. Although you may be on the same spiritual path as others, it does not mean you have to act like them. You don’t know where they’ve been, or what they may have trodden in…meaning the culture in which they were either brought up, or acquired.

Be ordinary, be yourself – ‘warts and all’. Through recognising our own ‘warts and all’, we gradually dissolve them, as they are our warts! The ‘warts and all’ are our confusion: they are our path!

By acquiring others’ mannerisms, we are acquiring yet more warts.

Be happy to be you
– just not too exaggerated.
You will be you,
right up until enlightenment.
