Recognize the Self as the eternal, unchanging awareness that underlies all experience.

Something very simple has turned into something very complicated. Let’s see, what is the simplest way to look at this? When ‘I am’ is ‘not’ then, no trouble anyway? In sleep state you are not troubling yourself, there is no trouble. There is nothing to fix, nothing to find, nothing to resolve. But when ‘I am’ is, then also no trouble no? Because ‘I am’ is no? Let ‘I am’ take care of it. This Being that wakes up in the light of which this world wakes up, let the light take care of the world. So when Being dissolves back into it’s source, no trouble. When Being arises then everything is Being’s problem. It is that simple actually. So all our attempts to change, to fix, to make better, are just movements which actually will not change your true condition in any way. Because your true condition is beyond change. You are the changeless One. So it is just indulging in fallacy…indulging in fallacy to try to change, try to fix, try to manipulate. So, the recognition of this is the only change that is needed then. What is the recognition? The recognition of your Self as the changeless One. Otherwise, all of these are just words. We can keep saying this but if you still take yourself to be the changing one and not the changeless one then it is still caught in that trying to make ourselves better or more complete, all of these fallacies. So it is not that what ‘you are’ will become more complete. What it is; is that you will realize that what already Is, is completely complete, is completely perfect as it is. So it’s not that you have to get to Timbuktu. You see that you are in Timbuktu.
