Enlightenment is not some comfort zone

One takes as if by following spiritual practices, quotes, books-resistance of pain and uncertainty, one faces in daily life will be over. Unless this resistance is faced, absorbed ‘as it is’ (that is, without any explanation), there is no chance of finding ‘what is True’.

If one is not feeling the resistance, which life is showing-one is acting, working with compulsions, complaints and seeking relief through entertainment, intoxications, religious-spiritual ideas.

Fundamental clarity dawns when you absorb the friction (without any explanation) which life is showing in the form of loss, defame, relationship problems and so on. Otherwise you are simply seeking relief from this friction by ideas, activities-thus remain seeking, remain stuck.

It is not that you have to learn something to see the Truth. You have to be ‘as you are’ (without any explanation) to see the Truth. You are thinking as if some one else has comfortably solved the enigma of life, hoping as if dependence upon others will take you to the Truth. Unless this hope crashes, there is no chance of finding ‘what is True’.

Enlightenment is not some comfort zone. It is to be comfortable with whatever ‘what is’ at this moment, with ‘as you are’, with ‘what you are feeling, experiencing’. There is no escape route.

The whole energy is concentrated here.

Any teaching, any practice that promises stable relief, stable pleasure stops you from discovering ‘what is True’. Brain can not operate without contrast. Whatever you may hold, know, possess or practise-you can not become psychologically safe, secured, certain. Some uncertainty, some lack, some need will come up for you to move. It is your continued exposure to uncertainty and ambiguity that gives contrast to manifestation, certainty-connects you to the Original.
