Just as a wave searching for water fails to recognise it is already water, the mind seeking peace overlooks that peace is its very nature. Peace is not something to be found, acquired, or realised through effort – it is the ever-present background of all experience. When attention softens from its exclusive focus on thoughts, feelings, and perceptions, awareness of being aware naturally emerges. This awareness illuminates like sun, contains like space, and forms experience like an ocean forms waves. Beyond the fragile silence of temporary mental quiet lies the silence behind silence – not a state but your unchanging nature. Don’t try to know this peace or even rest in it; rest as it. The art is not merely to find peace in meditation but to participate fully in life without leaving this home – never losing touch with the peace you essentially are, not just in absence of experience but in its very midst.
