Include Everything

Realization is unconditional happiness, an indescribable inner joy. We are always seeking something, trying to see, to know, just like we try to get ordinary things and accumulate ideas,
and that desire is endless. But not seeing is true seeing, not knowing
is true knowing. Not finding can be finding the true essence also. It
sounds like nonsense, but it is recommendable. It goes deep. Not just
superficial smiling, or momentary sense pleasure. It is beyond the mind
as we think of it usually. Words don’t reach that.

Happiness means including everything. Why not? There is a blissful experience in the empty true nature of everything, when seen through to the essence.
That is radiant Mahamudra, the ultimate reality. That is Dzogchen, the
natural Great Perfection.

- His Holiness the Twelfth Gyalwang Drukpa from the interview "Awareness Itself"

---------------------------------------------------------

"You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be
found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe
deserve your love and affection."

Resting as awareness, not in Awareness

Resting "in" awareness implies that we are somehow separate from it, that there is somewhere to get to, something to access. If we stop looking we see that we are already free, already intimately one
with unconditioned awareness and the universe.
