just stop

I love simple things. Complexity, although it has its appeal, is not always justified. We don't have to delve into philosophical treatises and follow back-breaking lines of reasoning in order to find out the most important "thing" of all - who we really are. This is the basic question.
The simplest yet most profound spiritual teaching I have ever come across is really simple: STOP!

However, this is not easy to "do" for most people since it doesn't involve any doing at all!
We are so used to doing and thinking that it's hard to not do anything.

All wanting
All desiring
All thinking
Just stop everything
Stop creating and recreating
Stop imagining
Stop analyzing
Simply stop everything

...and see what remains.
This is it.
This is it.
