Hello,
This is Prathima Nagaraj and you're listening to Insight,
A weekly podcast that invites and empowers you to live an inspired life.
Today on the podcast,
It's time to live in pure awareness,
To remember the wisdom within you.
Pure awareness is our natural state of existence.
You,
Me,
The world,
The infinite universe,
From form to formless,
From matter to mind,
From space to time,
Are all made of awareness,
Just forms of energy.
Look behind the veil of this body and mind.
This is who you truly are,
A droplet of pure awareness,
Intangible yet so real.
It sits quietly behind your eyes,
Behind your mind,
Behind all your sensory perceptions.
It's the very source of everything you perceive.
It's the root of your very being.
As all things can only exist within consciousness itself,
Nothing ever outside of it.
Living a day with total presence and awareness is more precious than living a lifetime without it.
Close your eyes now,
Drifting into the stillness that lies in the pause between each breath,
Tapping into the infinite quietness of the stillness.
As awareness blossoms from the stillness deep within,
An incredible connection with life emerges.
As you smell the sun rising in the morning landscape or feel the inexplicable connection between the chilled breeze crossing the crisp rays of the sun,
Glazing over the lush green grass,
And be mesmerized by the raindrops kissing the earth.
For these are not synthetic experiences of your conscious mind,
But an opening of your heart into the awe and beauty of an incredible life that's in front of you.
Life presents us an opportunity every day as night falls and we drift into the darkness of sleep and release the grip of our conscious existence.
There are no thoughts,
Feelings,
Worries,
Or desires.
There is nothing yet we exist.
It's a sort of absence,
But it has its own presence,
A state of nothingness,
A state of pure awareness.
Upon waking up,
We are aware of that absence and emptiness,
The nothingness from the sleep state.
But we reach for our thoughts,
Emotions,
And worries that we kept aside on our bedside table the previous night,
And we wear them again with pride,
As if it's of some value to us.
Next time,
Beautiful one,
To bring the experience of being without thoughts,
That state of clear awareness we tap into during deep sleep,
Into our fully conscious and active life,
That state where we don't identify with our ego or get lost in our emotions.
All you need to do is open your eyes and be receptive and enter the path to pure awareness,
Which is nothing but the path to self-discovery.
Your task,
Dear one,
Is not to seek anything outside,
But merely to find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
Solving these barriers opens you up to infinite awareness of the universe.
When you simply remain receptive,
You become the vessel through which pure awareness flows and the Creator comes to life.
Because what you seek is also seeking you,
And what you seek is within you.
All you need to do is open your eyes and be responsive and enter the path to pure awareness,
Which is nothing but the path to self-discovery.
