The vast open space of awareness, which makes all of our perceptions possible, itself remains unnoticed, like an invisible elephant in the room!

While listening, we fail to notice the constant silence underneath, within which sounds arise and dissolve. We observe things, but ignore the emptiness in the background of our mind, where all images transiently appear and disappear.

We feel pain and discomfort, but barely sense our inconspicuous, unobtrusive, healthy body-mind. We rarely notice the natural stillness, in background of our constantly changing experiences.

Our attention moves among objects, while we seldom notice the space itself, which contains, permeates and surrounds everything!

All that we know and perceive, is received in the welcoming, conscious, emptiness of awareness.

Our thoughts arise here, sensations of the body, the chirping bird songs, the sweet fragrance of flowers, the cool breeze touching our face, anything that we can ever know, or experience through our body-mind, always appears here, in our awareness.

We are not a fleeting thought or perception, briefly flying by, but the constant open presence, of our conscious inner sky!

Awareness, is the substance, which permeates all our experience. With its absolute creative potential, it is constantly changing forms- as infinite perceptions perpetually flowing in and out of existence, renewed in the timeless moment of each ‘now’.

What really, is a perception?

The ‘concept’ of a perceived object, merging with our perceiving awareness, to essentially become one with it!

In direct knowing from the conscious emptiness of pure awareness, the separation of the ‘perceived’ from its ‘perceiver’, dissolves into oneness.

Just as space infuses itself into each object it holds, yet always remaining perfectly pristine, so is the inner-space of awareness, which pervades everything that arises in it, yet forever remains pure.

We are this perceiving awareness, always one, with whatever we perceive. In the moment of perceiving anything, we are one with what we know. This Wholeness is our Reality!

This awareness, although constantly present as our most intimate essential being, frequently remains unnoticed. The irony is, that knowing everything only through ‘it’, we still wander around, looking for our ‘real’ Self.

This awareness that we are, is always immensely present behind every perception, yet, it is often blatantly missed- like an invisible elephant in the room!

Whenever we become aware of our own awareness, we catch a glimpse of it.

‘Knowingly’ being it, is instantly ‘seeing’ it!
