The Unlimited Ocean of Bliss and Stillness, that is Who you are | H. Breton

Submitted to Voyages of Light by H. Breton

Everything in this universe is in constant movement. The universe is in constant expansion. Everything that has form is subject to change. What was in the past is certainly not now in the present. What is now in the present certainly won’t stay the same in the future. Change is bound to occur. Everything that has a form is composed of molecules that are constantly vibrating. All of the above can only apply to an illusion, that which is changeful and temporary, but it can never apply to the absolute, permanent, unchanging, unlimited, and infinite reality, Pure Awareness/Unconditional Love. Therefore, instead of extroverting our attention out into the world which is always different from one fraction of time to the next, how about we introvert our attention into who we truly are, Pure Awareness/Unconditional Love, which never changes, permanently stays the same, and is always still. Pure Awareness/Unconditional Love and nothing else is the only reality there was in the past, is now in the present, and will be also be in the future. Before you were born, in the present moment, and into the future, you will always be aware. Therefore, know who you truly are, not a body that is subject to growth and decay but Pure awareness/Unconditional Love or rather, stillness that is never subject to change nor movement. This stillness is within you. Therefore, dive deep within, maneuvering through the debris of thoughts, and discover the ultimate treasure, permanent peace, happiness, and bliss. Below are audiobooks and printed books that have helped me in the journey towards attaining sahaja samadhi. However, I stress that they should only be used for knowing how to commence the practice of self-enquiry properly. Once you have understood it, you no longer need to read or even listen to them. What really matters is the practice itself: learning how to go from the mind and body to the Heart of Awareness.
