We Are Really Always Drinking Water

We are always experiencing our being, but, mixed up in the content of experience, we lose touch with it. Whatever we are drinking – tea, coffee, milk, wine – we are really always drinking water but don’t recognise it because of the various flavours. Our being is the same – it lies in the background of, pervades and saturates all experience, and yet, absorbed in the various tastes of experience, we overlook it. Thus, we lose touch with being’s innate peace. We then search the world for peace or happiness through objects of experience or spiritual traditions. What we are really searching for is our self, our being. We just need to discern the ‘I am’ amidst ever-changing experience and be that knowingly. Our being loses the qualities of the content of experience and stands revealed as pure being – unlimited, infinite. To abide in being as being is the pinnacle of self-knowledge, the ultimate devotion, the ultimate surrender.
