Enlightenment is intimacy with all things.

Enlightenment is not merely a state of detached observation or transcendence from the world. It is a deep and intimate connection with all aspects of existence. It is a state of profound understanding and unity, where the boundaries between oneself and the world dissolve.

When we become enlightened, we awaken to the interconnectedness of all things. We realise that we are intimately related to the people, animals, plants, and even inanimate objects around us. We recognise their inherent value and connectedness to our own being.

This intimacy with all things is born out of a deep sense of compassion and love. We develop the ability to empathise with the joys and sorrows, the struggles and triumphs of all beings. We see ourselves reflected in others, and in turn, we see all beings contained within us.

Enlightenment is not a goal to be achieved or a destination to reach; it is a dynamic and continuous process of deepening our understanding and connection with the world. It is an ongoing journey of expanding our capacity for compassion, empathy, and love.

Let us strive for intimacy with all things as we walk our own paths towards enlightenment. May we cultivate awareness, compassion, and a deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of all existence. In doing so, we contribute to a more compassionate and harmonious world.
