My consciousness is certainly indefinable, but I remain just as mediocre in everyday life...

Master Kosen – Published on April 1 – daily-life

Question

Once we have turned our gaze toward ourselves and realize that we “are” a kind of “space” (in fact, the only space), should we simply deepen this state? Or, on the contrary, should it also lose all importance? Becoming a sort of 3D mirror, okay, but phenomena remain beyond our control. My consciousness is certainly absolutely indefinable, a mystery of sorts, but I remain just as mediocre and small in everyday life. Could you clarify?

Answer from Master Kosen

No, let me reassure you: you are not mediocre! Guard your space carefully so you do not let the thief in!
