When you are experiencing with your attention
rooted in being, your mind is no longer collecting
outer impressions and the usual noise of the world
goes unnoticed. All is replaced by this field of seamless
awareness. For most people, their attention is engaged
with sensory perception, and the noise produced there
becomes the background of their being.
But for one who is absorbed in the Self, the most
profound experience is that of unbroken, soundless
Awareness, in which all phenomena appear and
disappear without trace. For the one who has lost
interest in the mind play, impressions drift further and
further away from the heart of perceiving. This should
be everyone’s unbroken experience. However, when we
get wrapped up in the scenarios created by the mind,
we will be distracted.
As you stabilise more in the Self, you find and enjoy
peace even in the midst of daily life. The sense ‘I’ in you
becomes a synonym for peace and harmony. For such a
one knows he is not just the body or mind, nor is the
body-mind a mere container or an antenna for receiving
the incessant noise and impressions of the world. Even
amidst the worldly traffic of sensations, the awakened
one remains unperturbed, abiding effortlessly in the
silence of Being. The mind of an awakened one is like a
space in which phenomena appear and disappear, yet
nothing sticks.
