Witness The Moment

The moment you create a gap between you and your body-mind, immediately the suffering disappears. Suffering is due to attachment to your body and mind.

All your sufferings disappear the moment you witness, that very moment. Actually, you may fail the first few times. After you face failure, you think, 'It is difficult, I cannot do it, ' and you create an idea that it is difficult.

Somebody goes to Ramaṇa Mahaṛṣi, the enlightened saint from Bharat, and asks, 'Master, is ātma vidya (knowledge of the self) difficult?' He says, 'The word difficult is the only difficulty.' He sings beautifully in Tamil, 'Aiyye ati sulabham atma viddai, aiyye ati sulabham'— Oh! So easy! The knowledge of the Self is so easy! He sings beautifully, 'To achieve money you must work, to achieve name and fame you must work, to achieve anything else you must work. To achieve the knowledge of the Self, you need to just keep quiet. Nothing else needs to be done.' Such a simple thing; a few moments of witnessing consciousness is enough.
