Discussion of spiritual practices: awakening, meditation, and the freedom that cannot be lost or found. All perspectives are welcome; advaita, christian, buddhist, islam or even no perspective at all. Just pointing to that which is nearest and dearest.

who are you?


Continuing with the topic of long term fruits of meditation practice … 

As mentioned last week, reverence becomes our default world view after establishing a sound practice.

However the question remains:  Who is reverent? Who are you at the root? 

Earnest practice yields the answer -  

Unless you make tremendous efforts, you will not be convinced that effort will take you nowhere. The self is so self-confident that unless it is totally discouraged it will not give up. Mere verbal conviction is not enough. Hard facts alone can show the absolute nothingness of the self-image.
