Understanding Transcendence

Transcendence is often misunderstood as a means to escape the world, but it actually involves being fully present within it. True transcendence means experiencing life’s events without being overly affected by them, maintaining a state of inner peace regardless of external circumstances. This state is achieved not by avoiding feelings, such as anger or sadness, but by allowing them to flow through one's consciousness without resistance. Ultimately, it is about accepting what life presents and remaining equanimous as life unfolds, acknowledging the dualities but remaining at peace within them.
