The Sanctuary of Your Being

You’re aware of being before anything else, whilst aware of whatever else you’re aware of, and when whatever else has disappeared. The awareness of being is the golden thread throughout your experience, always the same – first when born, last when you pass away. Nothing happens to your being; it is never changed. When a movie ends, you don’t clean the screen. It’s the same with your being – one with every experience, but experience leaves no residue. Your being remains eternally pristine, luminous, whole, perfect, at peace. Your being doesn’t need to be enlightened, improved, healed or purified. The recognition that you are perfect, whole, complete is the great healing. Make a clear distinction between efforts in everyday life and complete absence of effort regarding your being. When you take your shoes off, you leave effort outside the sanctuary, where there’s no movement, nothing to understand, no becoming, no effort, no sorrow.
