unimaginable riches. Don't beg for enlightenment, don't plead for it. You are the SELF,
don't assume that you are impoverished. Give up that yearning and be quiet and the
treasure will be self-evident as your very nature.

The miraculous benefit of coming to “know” this state of Beingness is experiencing the power of an incredible ease, freedom and real sense of Connection with All That Is. This ease and sense of Connection can and does transmute the “issues” that we resist, deny, and project onto others and that somehow manage to persist no matter how much we “look at” them and “understand” their origins.
After all is said and done, giving up on the notion of trying to “fix” or change ourselves, another, or a situation is the key to this whole new way of Being. This is the surrender necessary to enter your own “knowingness” of perfection. Once you “know” this state of well being as reality then everything not of it can be accepted, embraced, blessed and transmuted.
If we examine ourselves honestly, we will see that we are living in a state of constant striving. Ego, in one word, describes this state. The Buddha identified this state as the root cause of all our suffering.
Ego or our “little self,” has chosen itself as the master of our lives and has decided that its job is to enforce this striving, controlling opinion of reality. There will be no deviation as far as it is concerned. But what it doesn’t get is that it is meant to be the servant of the Soul and not the master. That is why anyone have any experience of the real SELF is an extraordinary occurrence.
