Stay At The Beginning

In spiritual practice, there really is no such thing as failure.

Because you are at the beginning.

We are always at the beginning.

To recognize this fact and to once again enjoy this fresh instant of existence is the very core of spiritual life

How can you fail if whatever you experienced a moment ago is beside the point?

Whatever happened…

The past is…

Now only a thought.

Freedom can’t be the goal of spiritual life, nor can it be the result of meditation.

It is the beginning of spiritual life and is itself the only true form of meditation.

There’s always just the reality of this moment and you are not separate from it.

So stay at the beginning because it is also the end that you would otherwise seek.
