The nondual teaching often whispers, “Just be quiet.”

When thoughts subside, your senses might open up. Sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and touches may all feel crisper, quieter, more beautiful. The heart may pour forth in simple gratitude. Your dog might crawl into your lap and you might start crying.

Contentment like this is a pointer to the bliss of our true nature. It is to be savored, for it is as sweet and soft as it is tender and light.

And then one is to carry on, to go deeper into the wonderment: what is the quiescence that never comes and never goes?
