The Power of Practice

In the spiritual community, there is such an idea that enlightenment is the ultimate attainment. For many years, for 20 years, I thought of enlightenment as an marvellous, exotic experience that one might acquire. What started off in me as an intense and disciplined practice gradually gave way over the years to self-abidance or self-resting. We are already our self. Our being is already fully present, unconditionally peaceful. It only needs to be recognized as such. The essence of meditation or prayer or practice is just coming back to ourselves. Nothing could be less exotic. nothing could be easier.nothing could be simpler.
