You Will Not Find It in Your Thoughts

A reminder for the one who’s still searching.

You will not find it in your thoughts.

Not in the next practice.

Not in the next teacher.

Not in a better version of yourself.

You have spent years looking forward…

but what you seek has never moved.

It is not waiting for you at the end of effort.

It is beneath the striving.

Behind the identity.

Before every question.

You don’t need more answers.

You need less noise.

The Self is not hiding.

It is simply quiet.

So pause.

Breathe.

Let the mind go unfed for a moment.

And feel…what remains.

That stillness? That space? That is you.

Not the one who is reading this.

The one who is aware of the one reading.

You are not on the path.

You are the one in which all paths appear.

Come home.

Not later. Now.
