THE BIG HEART ETERNALLY BEATING

'We do good not by what we do
But by who we are'.
- Charles de Foucauld

Could we talk about the teaching of awakening?

We could, if you like – however there is really no point in doing so. We could talk for hours on end about it, but if you have not experienced it for yourself, you cannot see it, you cannot get it.

Simply be true to what you already know; simply be totally honest with yourself. What do you want right now? What are you doing? What are you feeling? What are you thinking, right this very minute? Give yourself fully to whatever is happening for you right this moment. Your individual consciousness is universal, so give your heart and soul to it unconditionally. Do not think about anything else. When it happens naturally, without any effort, this is the ultimate state. It is this ‘thing’, the absolute, ultimate reality, that is seeking you out. And it will find you when it has decided to do so. In this state beyond all states, in the immense heart that beats eternally, spontaneously, you will discover who you truly are.

For the only real teaching takes place once this ‘thing’ is revealed. This ‘thing’ that leads us to drop the mistaken identification with what we are not – the body, the senses, the mind, the emotions, to cease thinking of ourselves as somebody. This feeling of non-existence, referred to as awakening, is spontaneous and instantaneous. Then there is clarity, an internal transformation, a very strong inner teaching. And this is the only real teaching.
