Seeking oneself leads to failure, for what is sought and seen is separation. In seeking That Which IS - by any name, one finds and sees oneself. Turning toward that Heart of hearts, Being of being, one finds and sees the attributes, effects; but by putting attention on the goal, the lesser is overlooked and one Becomes - what one puts one's attention upon.
Seeking a jewel in the forest, one puts attention on the gem, and while seeing trees and shrubs, overlooks them and finds the treasure.
From one's view of the valley all is seen, yet the forest and plain are not so important as the condition of need. So one overlooks and selects that which is needed to do.
When one sees the faults of another it is like observing the small child. Attention is given to love and the heart, and all else shall pass. What is needed to do is what is needed to look at.
When all the garden is available to see, the weed to be picked or plant to tend is seen most strongly. In that way one does what is needed and overlooks the rest.
When the heart knows and mind is quiet, the body follows and the soul sees and is seen through the eyes of Self. Small self in not there but as a focus and mirror to extend and reflect the sight, knowing, and love.
Turning one's attention to That Which IS and the heart to That Divine, with mind quiet and breath connected, one becomes the object of the search. Attention - toward That Which IS leads to Truth. Seeing all and knowing - feeling - all apparent and exposed, not two, but one; what is there to do? What is needed, as it is needed, when and how it is needed. Placing oneself in the sight of all, all is done as needed, seen as needed, and smaller self is no longer the vantage point, for perspective is grown inclusive.
