Why Not Start On the Pathless Path?

There is one path, which is not a path, that doesn’t start with the presumption of separation. If there is only reality, and everything is an appearance of this, then why start anywhere than this Pathless Path? As one reality, it cannot share the limitations of anything. Ultimately, there’s no individual self who can gradually become the infinite through effort, who lives in ignorance and may become enlightened. The world, our thoughts, feelings, sensations shine with and as this reality. If you wonder why the one allows evil and suffering, you are standing as the mind, not as the one. For the one, there is just its own perfection, and thus all is good. For the one, there are no discrete objects, and thus its nature is beauty. For the one, there are no others, no individual selves, and thus its nature is love. Goodness, beauty, love, there are no opposites.
