The term “awakening” is often used, although what it implies is rarely examined. Wherever the will acts, a figure has already been formed. And every figure, even the most subtle, remains trapped in the dream. If something deserves that name, it cannot be attributed to anyone. It cannot be narrated. For this reason, intense experiences—visions, ecstasy, altered states—are often more distraction than revelation. The essential does not need to be highlighted. It was already there, without being displayed.
You will not find a doctrinal proposal here. No method or structure is offered. Any attempt to cling to an idea, a phrase, an image, or a concept reactivates the search it seeks to end. If there is any teaching, it does not consist of offering content, but of suspending attachments. No truth is asserted; a habit is deactivated.
The reflex to follow is not guided, but interrupted: with precision, yes, but without direction. What remains is observation. And this observation does not depend on a voluntary act. It happens only when even the intention to achieve or attain it ceases. Effort, in itself, is not an obstacle. It is the way in which it is directed that is. A practice can have value if it reaches, through its own exhaustion, the point of dissolution.
There is a clarity—to name it already implies a risk—that is not achieved through repetition, but emerges when the will to possess or dominate it is extinguished. It is not the result of moral renunciation or ascetic demands. Rather, it is the radical halting of the impulse to move forward.
If these words arouse in you the hope of transformation, perhaps you still inhabit the reflection of your own desires. But if something falls silent without your provocation, if for an instant the tireless machinery that interprets everything stops, then something that does not belong to time, to the self, or to expectation may emerge.
I do not want you to believe me. Nor do I want you to follow me. It is enough, if anything, that you remain attentive—when that is allowed—to what precedes even the impulse to understand.”
Prabhuji
