Tenacity Rewards
Realisation of our true essence is not an accidental epiphany; it is a profound transformation arising through rigorous unyielding practice. There are steps or levels to transcend, but this isn’t about something to learn. It’s about the quality of observation or consciousness – whether it’s pure or not so pure – which is expressed in our conduct,.
Just reading and repeating words doesn’t butter the potatoes.Reading and repeating is just looking at the recipe.
We have to actually taste the potatoes.
Tasting is direct, unmediated experience of pure observation.
When we’ve finished eating, we wash the dishes with soap.
This is the rigorous work of purification, confronting our conditioning and doing the heavy lifting of self-inquiry.
The soap is then rinsed off.
The final stage is non-attachment, where even the concept of being a practitioner is let go, leaving only pure, unobstructed presence.
Once this is realised, we can look intuitively behind the scenes.
That is the reward.
