Do What Is Meaningful To You
Spiritual paths are full of helpful symbolism. However, the symbols must mean something to us. If they do not, then the symbols work as an illusory crutch to which we adhere and become reliant, and they are therefore an obstacle.
Of course, the symbols help us to remember, but we have to know what it is we are being reminded to remember! At death, remembering symbols and mantras is not the real thing. Pure awareness is the real thing. Pure awareness sees everything as a pure projection.
What is symbolic to one
may not be symbolic to another.
Doing something mechanically is ‘being’ fixated.
The mechanics are the support.
When pure awareness is recognised,
the support is no longer needed.
Let go!
