Let's do a self-enquiry meditation on Fixing the Attention on the I-Principle.
Let's keep the eyes open and attempt in silence to recognize the Now.
The Now is the only actuality.
Simply attend to the Now and nothing but the Now.
The Now is the only actuality.
The actuality is devoid of a subject and an object.
It is non-dual.
The actuality is devoid of a past,
Present and a future.
It is timeless.
The actuality is devoid of a here and there.
It is spaceless.
The actuality is devoid of a cause and effect.
Hence,
It is devoid of causality.
It is causeless.
The actuality is devoid of any sort of a permanently existing content.
It is contentless.
Abide as the non-dual,
Timeless,
Spaceless,
Contentless and causeless Now.
There is the clear absence of the Observer and the Observed.
The Oneness of the Now is suddenly disturbed by a thought that arises,
Assuming to be I,
The Observer.
It is assuming that it is observing the current Now moment.
Thus,
The illusory idea of a doer is created,
Along with time,
Space and causality.
The illusory idea of time precedes the illusory idea of space.
The illusory idea of space precedes the illusory idea of causality.
The illusory idea of causality precedes the illusory idea of content.
Thus is created the illusory idea of an I,
The Observer in the meditation world,
Observing the perception of the Now moment.
Recognize this as an obstacle.
A spiritual idea created by the mind.
Discard it.
Refrain from it.
Take the stand of the Witness of the One that is meditating.
Allow that Witness to collapse.
When there is no Observer and no Object that is Observed,
That is the Now,
The Actuality.
To help avoid this obstacle,
There is an instruction given by all Enlightened Masters.
Fix the attention on the Actuality.
The I-Principle is that which does not see I.
The I-Principle is that which is devoid of the Observer and the Observed.
Fix the attention on the Actuality.
So that illusory ideas cannot mask the Truth.
Fixing the attention means being passionately dispassionate about the illusory ideas of I,
You and the world.
As they only lead to suffering.
When there is an I,
There is a you.
And there is a world.
You and the world together create the illusions of Ownership,
Doership and Experiencership.
Every event,
Relationship and object born out of these illusions leads to suffering.
The mind's domain range is limited to I,
You and it.
Hence,
The mind can never be happy.
As it is born of,
Plays in and dies into the background of suffering.
Acknowledge this Actuality.
The limitation of the mind is based on convenience.
As the I does not want to see that it does not exist independently of thought.
I is merely a thought.
Thought cannot see the Actuality which lies beyond thought.
Hence,
Thought only projects its own illusory and assumed reality,
Which is not reality at all,
But an illusion.
That which is happening is the Actuality.
The misinterpretation of what is happening is thought.
All sensory responses are the beginning of thought.
All these responses are only a projected reality,
Not the Actuality.
Ask yourself the question.
Can the I-thought that is simply a network of projections really see the truth?
Can the I-thought be the observer that it claims to be?
For the supreme truth to be revealed,
The nature of thought must be dissected into.
Observe the nature of thought.
Then,
Vehemently discard the unnecessary hodgepodge of projections.
That will still the mind and the truth will be revealed.
This can be done only if you are passionately dispassionate about all the projections,
About all the assumptions of the I and its world.
Hoping that the truth will be seen from the vantage point of the projected reality is futile,
Because the truth that will be perceived from there will only be the projection itself and not the truth.
Be passionately dispassionate about the projected reality,
Which is nothing but a network of projections of the I-thought.
Having understood the pitfall of the illusory observer and the illusory observed,
Attempt to go beyond the I-thought and abide as the Now.
The Now is the only actuality.
Abide as the non-dual,
Timeless,
Spaceless,
Contentless and causeless Now.
There is the clear absence of the observer and the observed.
Abide as that actuality.
