The Attainable Chasing The Unattainable

This is the dilemma we are in: there is an ever-present consciousness using the mind to find consciousness. It’s what intellectuals try to do, and they can never come to a conclusion. We are consciousness, uncontaminated by thoughts, while the mind is our tool to express either wisdom or stupidity.

Pure consciousness is perfect satisfaction through understanding, while the mind is perfect dissatisfaction through misunderstanding. Misunderstanding leads to speculation and, unfortunately, more confusion. We don’t realise our simple, natural state of spontaneity and instead, chase an illusion of the attainable, thus making it unattainable.

The purity of consciousness is attainable
through realisation.

Because the purity of consciousness is not recognised,
consciousness attaches to a confused mind
which chases after an illusion of the attainable,
rather than recognising and resting in its natural essence.
