Spiritual ideas such as "resist nothing," "stop," or "call off the search" and the like are not instructions, they are simply attempts to speak of the outcome of our seeking. What we seek is the direct taste of the sense of self, and this brings us, again and again, face-to-face with the light of reality. It is that light that does all the work. It is that light that snuffs out the deep, unseen conviction that we are these lives, these minds, these bodies and nothing more, and that we are at stake in these lives. Then we see what is meant by all spiritual ideas.
