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 Maharṣi, the enlightened saint from India, 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.
