Perceiver and the perceived

The perceiver is as real as the perceived. When there is nothing to perceive, there can be no perceiver.

The perceiver is bound always to the perceived. That which you perceive has no independent existence. You who are the perceiver too have no independent existence apart from the perceived.

What if in reality there is neither perceiver nor the perceived? What remains then?
This question cannot be answered by a perceiver.

In the absence of an object, there can be no subject. Hence both the subject and object are unreal.

Nothing more can be said.

Seeking

What is the fundamental illusion?
It is to live a life seeking enlightenment.
To seek love, pleasure and enlightenment --> this is the prime illusion.
Root yourself in this moment. Anything which takes you away is not real.

Stop seeking enlightenment.
Stop seeking pleasure.
Stop seeking the perfect relationship.

Root yourself right here, right now and abandon all seeking.

Deepest fear

My deepest fear is that I am alone in this universe.

Relationship

It seems to be true as they say that our lives are bound to others. Relationship is the most important thing in life. To be in the company of loved ones and to laugh and share with them, this is what happiness is. This is ultimately why we live. Life may be like a dream, but in this very short duration that we have, it seems that what matters most is the love we share among those we consider our own. Ultimately, it all comes down to love in the end.

Restless

We live in an age of restlessness and incessant activity. Stillness has been forgotten. Life is rooted in stillness. Yet, that is the element that we are least aware of. It is awareness itself. Stillness is awareness. Restlessness will not take you anywhere. You are already here. This moment is forever holding you. Why do you seek to escape it?

The world will call out to you with its ten thousand and one issues. But that is not where you belong. Even now, you are held by stillness. Stillness is awareness. Silent awareness. Just this. This.

Random

So what is it that can be ultimately relied upon? It is not relationship since it is fragile and can be easily broken. It is not career since it too is fragile and depends on others approval. It is not wealth since it can be lost. Neither is it health since it too declines.

Right here in this very moment, there is a deep stillness. Untouched by thought. Untouched by anything external. Rest here. Be still. Deeply quiet. This is home.

Now

It is this moment right now that is most important. Nothing else.
This moment is all there is.
