Nothing to Seek, Nothing to Find

Just as waves and currents neither add to nor subtract from the ocean’s water, no amount of doing, thinking or practising can alter what we essentially are. Like water taking countless forms while remaining only water, aware being remains unchanged while appearing as all experience. This peace is first discovered in the depths, beneath the waves of thought and sensation, but later pervades all experience. Any residual impulse to seek or resist – whether through worldly pursuits or spiritual practice – presumes the absence of what can never be absent. The ‘I am’ is always at peace, requiring no effort or achievement. Even after recognition, an energetic current of seeking may persist deep within, like an ocean current gradually unwinding. Simply rest as the vastness that you are, allowing all movements to subside naturally in being’s depths.
