Infinite aware being, seemingly contracted into finite minds, creates a universal longing in all hearts – first pursued through objects and experiences, later rebranded as the search for enlightenment. Despite genuine understanding and years of discipline, a core dissatisfaction often lingers. This residue cannot be practised away, for any effort of the separate self perpetuates its illusory existence. What does space need to do to liberate itself from the limitations of four walls? Absolutely nothing – it is already free. Similarly, you need do nothing to liberate yourself from the qualities of experience with which you seem identified. Just as a stained tea towel cannot be fully cleansed by repeated washing but must simply soak in warm water, the residual tension of separation cannot be dissolved through spiritual practices alone but simply by soaking in being. This is neither the Progressive Path nor the Direct Path, but the Pathless Path – allowing all residue of becoming to subside in being.
