It is very easy for one to not notice the subtle presence that we are. One does not have to do anything to BE. Due to significant conditioning of the mind, and the strong establishment of the entity called "me", one feels the need to do something to find the elusive Awareness/Being that one hears about. Despite several pointers to the fact that one has to BE, before anything else can be "done", many are unable to understand this pointer. The entity called "me 'feels inadequate, feels something is missing, and something must be done to attain this Awareness. They feel that they have to make some effort to "get there". At this very moment, can you deny your existence? At this very moment, can you deny that you are? This very existence, which we call awareness/presence, is very clear and evident to everyone. All thoughts arise as a result of and in this presence-awareness. If you are not present at this moment, you would not be able to read this message! There is nothing that an entity called "me"is doing to be aware. Did you do anything to be awake/aware? Did not wakefulness appears spontaneously this morning?
One cannot become what one already is. One cannot "get to" Being. One is Being.
