Life Is About Remembering

Life is about remembering what we are, which is pure consciousness, rather than a mind spending its life being entertained and forgetting its true nature. Forgetting is Mara activity. We all need something that reminds us to be aware of being pure consciousness.

Unfortunately, we don’t value just being aware; we want something more interesting. This is Mara activity, and it’s why the practice of meditation is important to slow our life down to appreciate the simplicity of life, rather than trying to impress the impressionable.

Slowing down merely means paying attention, focusing, seeing clearly what is necessary and what isn’t. In this way, we find satisfaction.

Being aware of the breath, our bum on the seat, a word, can make us stop for a moment where we come to our senses. It’s not the breath, bum or word that’s important; it is the awareness of the breath, bum or word that is our reality of pure consciousness.

At the end of life, our achievements are meaningless.
Remembering that we are pure consciousness is meaningful.

Remember: don’t forget.
