The Essence of Spirituality: Letting Go of Concepts

The essence of spirituality lies in the relinquishment of mental concepts, including spiritual ones. By shedding identification with thoughts, one can transcend the limited sense of self derived from concepts. This liberation entails a shift towards pure beingness that transcends doubt, triggering a spiritual awakening. Letting go of deeply ingrained concepts, even those related to spirituality, is pivotal for establishing a profound sense of presence beyond mere patience.
