Knowing That We Don’t Know Is The Reality We Seek
Knowing that we don’t know is the reality we seek.
WHAT!?
If, in life, we try to do good and do no harm, we are training the mind.
1 Do good = see clearly.
2 Do no harm = stop seeing faults; look behind and beyond the cause.
3 Train the mind = practise 1 and 2 all the time.
It doesn’t matter whether our life is pleasant or unpleasant, the important thing is constant mindfulness that cuts through constant distractions.
Knowing that we don’t know is the path to enlightenment.
Coming to a conclusion is a mental activity, whereas consciousness is beyond the mind which assumes it knows.
In the very moment now, we do not know anything.
There is merely pure knowingness present.
A subtle scan takes place: “What is it?” “What’s needed?” “Why is it like that?”
Without this, it’s just a mundane, mechanical life.
And those questions can apply to a situation or to a person 🙂
