"I am that."
~ Nisargadatta Marahaj ~
Many things in the universe are out of our control,
Yet we think we can control them anyway-
People, circumstances, flooding rains, the future...
When we STOP trying to control the things we can't control anyway,
We experience relief,
And peace.
And it's the same with enlightenment.
Beyond the surface noise of our egoic identity,
We are ALREADY enlightened,
But we don't know it.
We think it's something we have to work for,
Meditate to earn,
Achieve by struggle,
Or grace.
But enlightened being is WHO WE ARE.
Not knowing it doesn't change the fact.
When we realize this truth that is already true,
Just by seeing it...
We realize that
We ARE the peace we have been seeking.
The search is over.
We have been there all along.
I am.
