A Good Teaching Brings Itself to An End

All religious and spiritual teachings arise for a single purpose: to show us our being is always infinite being – perfect, whole, complete, at peace, in love. A good teaching brings itself to an end; a good teacher makes themselves redundant. You need nothing now. You are whole, perfect, complete. You are at peace, in love. See that and be that. Everything we see shines with the sun’s light; everything we experience shines with the light of being. Don’t be like the landscape painter who paints only objects, overlooking the Sun’s light, not realising all she sees is light appearing as colours. Don’t let experience seduce you into believing it is anything but a colouring of being. Like two people before the same landscape – one seeing objects, another seeing light – two can face experience differently. One sees multiplicity; the other sees a play of infinite being. One sees the world; the other sees God’s face.
