Anyway to make this whole search for Reality easy? Let us try another way of going about it. Forget for now any other concepts you may have. Start with a fresh clean slate of mind ( so to say).
Can I deny I exist at this moment? No way, right? Who else could be typing this message, uh? I am alive at this moment, no doubt. There is Life here and now. And the reader of this message is also alive to be able to read this message. So, no questions that Life is present here and now. Does this Life have any form or shape or color? Irrespective of your race,color, ethnicity,gender, or whatever else, life is life and one who is alive cannot deny it. So far, so good. Can I think, feel, laugh, cry, get anxious, worry, seek, find, interact, speak, listen, enjoy, or for that matter do anything or have any thoughts without LIFE? The answer is obvious!!! Without life, could I write this message? Without life, can you read this message? Without life, would you as an entity (called John Doe or Jane Doe) exist? Meaning, could you say I am John Doe/Jane Doe? Without life, would you ( John Doe or Jane Doe) be there to question all of this? Is the Life (that Divine Spark) different in an African compared to a Caucasian or an Asian? Can you see the world without being Alive? Is it not true that we all ignore the very Source of all there is and try to go around looking for some Bliss( Ananda), or an "ah- ha" moment, or some utopia and feel frustrated when we cannot find it out there? Did you choose to be alive? Did someone remind you that you are alive? Are you making any effort to digest your food, beat your heart, make the lungs breathe, circulate your blood? All of this happening because of Life. Would you agree on that principle? Why look for something that you already have? Is it not true that the very search is the source of misery? If it is not lost, how can anyone find it? It is already there!!! Just stop looking out and look right here. Turn around the finger towards your own self!!
Please ask and answer all of the above questions. Don't just read it. Now, just replace the word Life, with whatever suits your mind and you will get it even better. You like Awareness better than Life? Go ahead replace it. You like Presence Awareness better than Life? Go ahead, replace it. You like Universal Spirit or Soul? Go ahead, put whatever word you want to replace Life and yet you cannot grasp it. It will all be a play of words. If you do not get the meaning behind the words or what the words are pointing to, then it is just black ink on white paper.
