Just as we return to the breath when we sit meditation, let's return to the root throughout our day and experience wholly and directly.

The small self working furiously to make sense of inside and outside is put to rest and we recognize the boundlessness of our true and original nature.

When we are focused on the concepts created by the factions of small mind, there is a connecting-the-dots exercise to construct a reality out of nothingness.

When we cherish our opinions and conceptual constructs, we in essence abide with dualism.

This is the Big Mind revealed in equanimity - no disturbance.

Here we see the Absolute from the position of the Relative - where all is interconnected and comprises the Whole.

From the perspective of the Absolute, each and everything contains the myriad ten thousand things - thus there is no separation as the two are not distinguished.

By staying here in this moment, and acting skilfully with what comes up, we put away concepts of easy and hard. Just allow for what is needed in the here and now.

If we can stay awake and abide with what is coming up for us, experiencing directly, things follow their own courses.
