Embracing Natural Awareness

Resting in a state of natural awareness is emphasized as the essence of meditation. This practice involves allowing oneself to exist in a supreme state of equalness, free from the distractions of thought proliferation and sensory attachments. By maintaining an upright posture and allowing the gaze to be open, one can experience an expansive awareness that merges the inner and outer worlds into a single, unobstructed state. This approach encourages individuals to identify and rest in their true nature without relying on external reference points, thus attaining a profound sense of clarity and lucidity in their consciousness.
