there any need to stop the thinking if it is realised what it is taking place in? What are the clouds taking place in? Isn’t the cloud in space? Do you have to stop the cloud to recognise the space, or do you realise that the space is always and ever the background in which the clouds appear? It’s not a matter of trying to stop the thinking – it is simply understanding what you actually are. You are that essence itself, not the concepts or anything that appears on it.
