The feeling of peace...

Question: With my eyes close, I feel the peace but when I open my eyes, I lose my concentration and my center. As if I have to do some effort.

Reply: The feeling of peace can continue uninterrupted once you open your eyes. But when you want the feeling of peace, you have moved away from it.

The wanting is a thought contraction that separates you from the peace you already are. Can you open your eyes and be available to whatever arises without desiring anything different?

You see, peace is complete desirelessness. There is no effort involved in peace. It is effortlessness.

It is the screen that is completely free from whatever arises on it.
