Zen

Q. What does ‘Don’t seek your true-Self but stop discriminating’ mean?

A. This means that we don’t have to seek the true-Self since it is one with us, and we can’t separate, or escape from it even for a moment. We are facing and surrounded by it all the time.

The problem is that we cannot recognise it whilst facing it because we are deluded by the illusions created through discrimination. When we stop discriminating, we can see things as they are. Then, the true-Self is seen spontaneously although we make no effort to see it.
