If self-inquiry is real, it must end, without remain, without history, without benefit, just as your day is.
The memory you hold from the day that passed, the yesterday, is not the day itself. It’s a recording. Self-inquiry is the day itself. It doesn’t need to be initiated. It doesn’t need to be taught. It doesn’t need to succeed.
It is a day of a living being unaware of the nature of awareness itself. You, as a living being, write a story of life. There is absolutely no significance and truth in the story that is written. It is just a never-ending accumulation of frames, of possibilities manifested in one direction, in another direction, for reason, for no reason. It’s really empty from truth, from life.
So, a day that is lived, a day of a living being that is lived, unaware of the essence, the true nature of awareness itself, is self-inquiry.
It doesn’t lead to result, to awareness, or to progress. It doesn’t lead anywhere. It ends. The day that you live ends. And the very ending of the day is the essence of self-inquiry.
The day doesn’t end when your eyes close and you go to sleep, or after midnight. The day ends now. Always now. Self-inquiry is the end of a day lived by a living being. With its end, the living being ends, the lived day ends. The end is the only thing that shines, that is full of truth.
And that end is now. Whether you see it or not, accept it or not, all that has no meaning whatsoever. Self-inquiry invites the end. So you can never have more of that. You can never have more self-inquiry, just the same as you can never have more ‘now’. All you have is now. And now always ends.
In words, in visual, it’s complicated to look into it. So you have to start with ignoring all. And that ignoring that leads to a blessed ignorance, total irrelevancy of all written wisdom, that very ignoring invites the self-inquiry to flower.
If you really want a frame to put this flowering, call it a question. But it’s a non-verbal question. It’s the questioning. The state where everything is question. Question, is it real? But not one by one, leaving a record, a checklist. Total explosion of question.
It announces itself, as if the question says to your heart, only I am real. Only the question holds truth. And question doesn’t know, by definition, by its very nature.
Take it as you wish. Hopefully, you will see the beauty of ending all the things you considered as self-inquiry.
