I firmly trust that the pillars of lofty spiritual enlightenment hinge upon cultivating the wisdom that exposes the vacancy of the entirety of existence and, paradoxically - and in concert with this insight - growing compassionate action through active service oriented towards the collective welfare of existence as a whole. And I submit that service is merely one aspect of this equation. It is profoundly crucial as well to bring an illuminating awareness to any remaining unconscious trait manifesting non-integration behaviours which entwine us with un-realizable fantasies of existence - this translates to self-awareness, a cultivation of the understanding of our unblemished inner essence. Mustn’t we utilize the time granted to us upon this earth to accomplish such efforts of transformation? There is absolutely no requisition for further proliferation of ego-centred pursuits such as pernicious intellectual arrogance, which insidiously deepen the delusion dissociating the individual from the grand tapestry of existence. The fundamental labour lies in disentangling oneself from forgetfulness in effacing one’s mind from sources fostering victim mentality. As our mind attains uninterrupted liberty, otherness is unfurled in unmasking its primordial essence, whereupon selfless attention to the flourishing of all sentient existence reveals itself transparently as the most seamless mode of existence.
The Buddha’s pursuit reconciles any discrepancy between an entity’s perception of existence and the verity of phenomena. This pursuit is denominated as the actualization of the ‘Correct View.’ In keeping faith with the teacher’s teachings, construing reality precisely as it transpires is construed as a fundamental requirement fortifying equanimity and well-being in the very fabric of one’s consciousness.
