My children continue to inspire me:
My 8 year old Grandson recently asked this question: "What is it
like to be yourself." His father shared this. Don't know what, if any,
answer the boy was given. Here's mine ...
(Sharing my own answer using words rephrased from the wisdom
clarity of Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche)
I am living with fundamental misperception of reality, confused in
dualism, and obscured primordial consciousness. My deluded mind mistaking the
manifestations of its own pure, innate primordial awareness for an external
reality existing separately from itself, which it endlessly, and ultimately
unsuccessfully, attempts to manipulate, trying in vain to bring an end to the
continual underlying sense of dissatisfaction and unease which is the
inevitable experience of the obscuration of pure awareness. My experience of
underlying dissatisfaction that unavoidably arises with a deluded mind continues no matter how 'successful' I become in dealing with my world in
materialistic terms ... until the I regain the experience of the primordial
state.
