You can understand the Truth of Existence either by questioning the resistance you experience in daily life or by clearly seeing the format of life.
1. You are experiencing psychological discomfort due to sadness, embarrassment, dejection, anger, insult and so on. (Apart from immediate physical danger, all discomforts are psychological discomforts)
To absorb this discomfort without any explanation, that is, not to react to this discomfort with complaining or solacing explanations. Whole energy is concentrated here. You are just close to the Truth.
2. Whatever is within the purview of your senses at this moment, all else is the field of memory, imagination, thinking. This format never changes, wherever you may go. You can not come out of this format. All your ideas about God, creation, death arise within this format.
When you are hungry, only one thought that of food is there. When food goes inside the body and the processing starts, brain becomes ready for its function, that is, thoughts start generating. Including the thought of God, creation, death . Thoughts arise because of life energy. The secret, the origin is in this energy and not what thoughts depict.
Can you see that you and your death can not meet at any point.
You are conscious against being not-conscious (as brain works through contrast). This is the Totality.
