Being Is Both the Journey and the Destination

The path to true nature is the pathless path, culminating in simply being. No practice required; it is the end to which all practices point. Be wary of spiritual methods aiming towards some 'better' state. Here, now – the simple experience of being – is where you are meant to be. The ultimate surrender is a revelation of what we already are. The paths of knowledge and devotion, seemingly divergent, meet in this same realisation. Both are mere preparations towards silencing the restless mind, which has been conditioned to chase illusory goals, including enlightenment. This chase perpetuates the ego and keeps us from recognising the ‘I am’, which is no different whether in a cat, a person, or what we call ‘God’. Our awareness of being is God’s own experience, a palpable presence in our hearts. Let the mind rebel, seeking something to 'do'. Simply be, for that is both the journey and the destination.
