Ultimately, the only difference is this:
(a) A life that is completely effortless, or
(b) A life that is supposedly in need of management by a separate self.
Option a is peace.
Option b is suffering.
The only way to get from constant suffering to constant peace, is to see that (b) is nothing more than a misunderstanding of how life works, of how life really is.
We believe this seeing is complicated, difficult, or only for a select few who achieve something special.
The joke is on us.
Because the belief that this is difficult is of course itself part of option (b).
There is no one to choose, achieve, or even understand (a).
But it can be seen to be true through the constant veil of selfing.
If we would just see that crack in the wall of thought and look beyond.
Yes, yes, yes ❤️
BUT... 😇
There is at times free-king-out, fear to relax.
Clouds of depression/heaviness (that shouldn't be there 😂).
Maybe just because I am single,
no car,
no home,
no regular income,
no eagerness to 'make' m-one-y.
but super happy at times.
Maybe Ramesh Balsekar was right:
The teaching is only for people above the poverty line...
yet I live like a king; things happen, synchronicities.
I just cannot tell a story about "me".
Great advice. Non-dual wisdom is deserving of such a platform as yours. Your work is excellent!
