You Are

BigJoni, in Hawaii for my big six-0.

“Do you ever doubt that you exist?” 
-Ramana Maharshi

See how you are when you do just this: Let go of every idea about how anything should be, and be silently aware of the feeling that you are.

You are not silence, but what you actually are is silent.

Keep training in awareness until that is your natural, effortless state.

Every thought that appears in silence will be helpful, and every movement—impeccable. What could be greater than that.

“There is nothing to practice. To know yourself, be yourself. To be yourself, stop imagining yourself to be this or that. Just be. Let your true nature emerge.”
-Nisargadatta Maharaj
