Q: How do you shift from recognizing to realizing the nature of the mind?
A: Shift, it’s not shift actually … because there’s not something to change.
How do you shift from recognizing to realizing the nature of the mind? When you recognize and when you are in a path of maintaining, you have this overwhelming awareness, but it is still not your reality yet. So when you have realization, when you sleep becomes nature of the mind, when you’re awake it’s the nature of the mind, when you eat it’s the nature of the mind, when you talk it’s nature of mind, whatever you do becomes the nature of the mind, becomes one, right? When you’re a realized being.
When you are not realized being, then there’s a sense of effort to continue the awareness or nature of the mind, awareness or nature of the mind, awareness or the nature of the mind. There’s a back and forth little bit.
But when you have realization, then you have, you are in this new realm of reality which is completely in the state of the mind throughout.
