Enlightenment is not a becoming

You don’t become enlightened. You’re not at one point ignorant and then, the next moment, enlightened. This is all mind. You already are That. It’s a simple realization that happens by dropping everything else you believe about yourself. Drop all your beliefs and see what happens. Drop your point of view and see what remains. Drop you proverbial pursuit of happiness. Stop chasing your desires, stop running from your fears; stop everything, right now, and see what is so, what does not come and go—what simply is, regardless of what you feel about it, or what you think about it. Your thoughts, your feelings, your physical sensations cannot touch this absolute Self that you are, so why give them so much credence? Why give them so much importance? They are phantoms; they are written on the wind.
