Awareness is the Gateless Gate

All paths of major religions have led seekers of Truth to Liberation. It is a fact, that in every tradition there have been great mystics, who came to the non-dual state. If you read from their poems, their expressions, you can recognize that one unique ultimate non-experience, which means direct Recognition of the Absolute. The School of Advaita proposes the most direct path. It is in the understanding that what you are looking for is That what you are already. You cannot attain the Truth because it is not something different from you! The Truth that you are searching for is your true Self. So, who is the seeker? The seeker is the creation of the mind. The seeker is only in the imagination. The seeker can never realize the Truth. The seeker has to be dropped in order for the Truth to be realized. None is awakening to anything. Consciousness is all there is. It knows Itself by Itself through Itself without any duality between subject and object.
