Doing Right and Being True

In considering the righteous and compassionate path to enlightenment one eventually makes the decision to be happy, joyful actually, in doing the right thing. A challenge because it requires relinquishment of our desires. And demands we forgive others and put them before ourselves. To this end one often uses the rationale that “all is good in the world”, “it is as it should be”. Hoping to embrace this philosophy we search out the good in the world, in others, and in ourselves. All resulting in our using our will to reason positivity, which gives us some of the happiness we originally sought. And even though tedious and somewhat misguided, it does facilitate some improvement in our character. But it will not take one to enlightened awareness. For that to happen one must come to disregard the personal will, and what it seeks. Instead, one must accept, without any negativity, the present moment with its participants and actions. Then remain in this now continuously, and for as long as possible, so you can follow the way unfolding before you. Your role is to simply participate in this manner, enabling you to enact unconditional  peace. That which has been derived from the transpersonal love with which you are familiar. Now bliss and joy enrich your awareness. The former consciously willed effort to shape the world as one desires, has become the heart-realized response of blissful acceptance. It is this naturally felt transpersonal agency, with its nondual philosophy, that moves one beyond ego to oneness, and toward enlightened nondual awareness.
