We grow up believing someone will rescue us, a guru, a method, a God, a final breakthrough. We are told we are broken, lost, or ignorant and that someone else holds the key.
But pause for a moment. Who is this "me" that needs saving? And who is that "other" who claims to know the way?
The very structure of this search, the seeker and the sought, is built from memory. A collection of past experiences, ideas, desires, and comparisons. This memory creates movement from what is to what should be, from now to then, from self to other. It invents the roles of guru and disciple, bondage and liberation, question and answer.
But truth is not a destination. And you are not a question to be answered.
You feel noise, so you desire silence. But this silence is just the opposite of noise, not freedom, just another shadow. It is still memory seeking relief, not the end of movement.
Look closely. The one who seeks silence is the noise. The one who wants peace is already restless. The one who runs toward freedom is already trapped by the idea of bondage.
So what happens when this movement is simply seen? Not fixed, not improved, just witnessed without judgment?
Then there is a pause. A stillness not created by effort. A presence that is not the result of a practice. This stillness is not the opposite of chaos. It is beyond it.
And this is the only real liberation. When the idea of liberation drops. When the "you" who wanted to be free is seen as just a ripple in the stream, and the stream is now still.
No guru can give this to you because it was never lost. No teaching can lead you there because there is no distance. No market can sell it because it cannot be owned.
You are not here to become. You are here to see. And in that seeing, what is remains, untouched, unchained, and free.
This is why no one can liberate you. And that is the only liberation.
