Ethical Living...

Living an ethical life of non-harming (ahimsa) leads to a peaceful, sattvic mind .

A peaceful/sattvic mind leads to the ability to engage deeply in the meditative/contemplative practice of turning towards and resting in presence/simple sentience here and now.

This practice of lovingly looking at/investigating presence dwelling in our deepest heart will bring us to the transcendent reality of presence revealing it's true nature.....to presence waking up to itself within us.

We come to eventually see that true self/presence/pure awareness here and now, is actually eternally aware of itself within us and is eternally resting in unconditional peace and well-being.

This is self-realization, and the entire, wonderful process began with the simple foundationstone of an ethical life of non-harming (ahimsa).

That is why ethical living is such an important and absolutely indispensable practice for the path that leads to authentic freedom. The whole "building" of clarity about reality is built upon this beautiful and strong foundation stone
