Conditioned or not—bring it on!

 Don’t worry if God works through your nature or above your nature because both are God’s, nature and Grace.

Meister Eckhart, 13th century monk

 

So what if we are not fully enlightened. When we are conditioned, we still express “being, consciousness, bliss”. While we unfortunately miss out on the bliss part, we can still enjoy the learning opportunity and see conditioning in action, so that we learn to step out of it.

 

A friend once said, “It’s true that before enlightenment we chop wood and carry water, and after enlightenment we chop wood and carry water. It’s just that afterwards we do our chores happily!” Learning becomes bliss and being in the “I am” state is bliss. Either way, bring it on!
