In Search of the Invisible

What the eye catches is not the truth. The real essence, that which lies beyond biography and identity, is something else altogether. A person is sometimes a dreamer, sometimes a philosopher—guru or some such thing—names that people bestow on each other; yet the true nature knows no boundary of these names. A guru can do nothing, unless the person themselves does something.

The awareness of the invisible brings a profound truth: what happens in the world of happenings has no real significance. Whether seized or not seized—all is matter, and matter means impermanence. So there is no need to worship anyone's opinion, no great value in the exultation or despair of victory and defeat. Money or success may matter in society, but to the invisible presence of consciousness, they are meaningless.

The greatest realization is this—what is truly important is not matter. Existence lies in eternal presence, beyond the boundary of the material.

If matter were valuable, worldly success would bring people peace and contentment. The source of peace is not visible matter, but invisible consciousness. And yet, this realization often looks like madness to those watching from outside.
