Just Be. Then Investigate. Then Just Be

The direct path teaching of Advaita Vedanta is shockingly simple: Just be.

Yet when that doesn’t seem possible, investigate. Investigate what? Superimpositions. Consider:

Take it that you’re taking your stand as the finite mind, from whose perspective there is “projected” name-and-form (namarupa), which projection makes it seem as if the essential nature of Reality is veiled or concealed.

Look closely at these thoughts, these “names.” See that your direct experience does not bear them out. Your direct experience reveals the proper stand: that of Presence.

Notice that direct experience only reveals Presence. In which case, just be.
