Despite understanding the teaching intellectually, the experience of innate fulfilment can remain frustratingly elusive. How can one truly feel the peace and sufficiency that isn’t dependent on outer circumstances?
Rupert says: ‘When you’re just resting in being, resting as being, do you feel any lack there? Peace, or happiness, or fulfilment. When you can say in your life, I need nothing, that’s the experience we call happiness. Happiness is literally what being tastes like. Although happiness is always present, it’s not always experienced, because it’s obscured by the seeking mind.
‘Your very search is the denial of the happiness that is already present. You can’t be happy and seek happiness at the same time. The fact that you are seeking, that activity veils your innate happiness. Instead of trying to fulfil the activity of seeking, here we try to allow the activity of seeking to subside. When the activity of seeking subsides, happiness, which is the nature of being, shines.’
