🌅The senses are direct experiences, not activities of a separate 'me'.
🎧Listening is the sound itself, there is no separate listener.
👐Feeling is the sensation itself, there is no separate feeler.
👀Seeing is what's seen, there is no separate seer.
🌌Consciousness is beyond the senses, unaffected by them.
What is the 'me' that we often identify with?
—The 'me' is an illusion created by the mind, a concept that separates us from our direct experiences and creates the idea of a separate self.
Why is it important to realize the truth of our senses?
—Realizing the truth of our senses frees us from the unnecessary suffering caused by identification with the 'me'. It allows us to experience life directly and authentically.
How can we experience the senses without the illusion of a 'me'?
—By simply being aware of the senses without adding the concept of a separate self. Directly experience the sensations, sounds, sights, etc., without feeling like there is a separate 'me' who is experiencing them.
How does realizing the truth of our senses impact our daily lives?
—Realizing the truth of our senses brings a sense of freedom, openness, and presence to our daily lives. We no longer resist or react to our experiences, but rather meet them with acceptance and curiosity.
Can anyone realize the truth of their senses?
—Yes, anyone can realize the truth of their senses. It is a direct experience that transcends beliefs, notions, or spiritual practices. Simply being aware and open to the present moment can reveal the truth.
