Is Enlightenment Simple, Or Out Of Reach?
Enlightenment’s simple.
There is nothing to it!
🙂
If we become stuck with the idea that our true reality is something out of reach, extra special, secret with complicated rituals, we will remain half-hearted about enlightenment, and enthusiastic about the rituals. There is no potential in this – just hope – when we are already what we seek.
It’s religion that has made enlightenment (or wisdom) an elaboration.
We have a choice. Enlightenment is either something to hear about and chant mantras about, or it is right here, right now, spontaneously present, without an off-switch.
How do we know when we’re enlightened? We’re already enlightened, but we ignore it.
Pure consciousness is already present, but obscured either by indifference, or enthusiastic performances. 🙂
Between every thought, there is a gap.
We are this gap.
It’s that simple.
Or we can do more mantras.
How does this seem to you?
