I came across these words by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj. He is someone that I don’t really know anything about, however, these words really resonate with where I am today, so I thought I would share them. Hope you find them inspiring.
“There are many spiritual seekers whose aim is to acquire sufficient merit to reach a certain place, such as Heaven or Vaikuntha. I have had no aims except to find out. I was not aware of my awareness, and suddenly I became conscious that I Am. Where and how did this consciousness arise in me? That was my enquiry, going back to that state when the presence of phenomena was not there. That is, original knowledge of the original Self”.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Yes Richard food for thought and internal search to know the REAL Self with in. When and how this internal search starts one does not know, but once it is started and the goal of discovery is reached nothing more needs to be done. One has reached the source by then.
