Enlightenment As a Goal

Enacting behavioral ‘shouldisms’ that supposedly represent enlightened qualities and characteristics amounts to nothing more than imitation and cannot result in Enlightenment. Enlightenment is not somehow achieved through cause-effect strategies or actions of any kind.

Enlightenment is already one’s natural, enduring and fundamental state, and therefore is independent of relative considerations (individual mental conditionings, space-time situations etc.) Regardless of one’s temporary, fluctuating perspective, Enlightenment is one’s authentic core nature. Enlightenment can never be obtained, only lived.

In dividing-categorizing
we pursue other than IS

Reality equally adorns
places and forms

Within and without
comprise one circle

Why seek to complete
what is now whole?
