Why Make What Is Natural Complicated?

We are pure consciousness. Why make something so natural and beautiful into something so complicated and elitist?

Even through reasoning (a rare event), we can realise that we are pure consciousness. That’s if we have the objectivity to understand without the bias of additional associations. Meditation is realising this so-called mystery, and living daily life free in pure consciousness. Things need to be done, and we do them without holding on to an attitude.

This doesn’t mean we are special.
We live an ordinary life,
attending to whatever needs attention without judgement of good or bad,
thus bringing an end to karmic accumulations.

The creation of rites – solemn ceremonies or acts – separates us from life, making us feel pure and special, and is a dualistic approach to daily existence, feeling holy in hell.

There is no heaven and hell; they are just the experience of the wisdom of one taste. By virtue, of one, the other is known, and they are therefore inseparable. Before the designation of light and dark, there is pure consciousness.

Knowing we are pure consciousness doesn’t isolate us from activities; we still have to do our daily work – fetch water, chop wood – but now life is enhanced in the joy of putting things in order.

When we complicate life with good and bad, life becomes ordinary, or a spiritual entertainment.

Non-duality is simply being one with everything that appears.
‘One with’ is the mirror and its reflection.
What we then do depends on our level of understanding.
