Emptiness is our very nature, but we are not aware of it. Because we are not aware of it, we remain strangers to ourselves, and instead of seeing our Emptiness as a tremendous beauty and bliss, silence and peace, at-easeness with existence.
How to experience our Aloneness/Emptiness? – Through Double Arrow Consciousness.
Ordinarily, your consciousness is arrowed towards the object. You look at me: your whole consciousness is moving towards me like an arrow. But you are arrowed towards me.
Self-remembering means you must have a double-arrowed arrow, one side of it showing to me, another side showing to you. A double-arrowed arrow is smriti – self-remembrance.
Very difficult, because it is easy to remember the object and forget yourself. The opposite is also easy – to remember yourself and forget the object. Both are easy; that’s why those who are in the market, in the world, and those who are in the monastery, out of the world, are the same. Both are single-arrowed. In the market they are looking at the things, objects. In the monastery they are looking at themselves. Smriti is neither in the market nor in the monastery. Smriti is a phenomenon of self-remembering,
When subject and object both are together in consciousness. That is the most difficult thing in the world. Even if you can attain for a single moment, a split moment, that will be first glimpse of Emptiness.
