The spiritual practice of seeking Enlightenment via nonduality is the consequence of intention and commitment. Its actual practice is not so much a matter of ‘doing’ but a way of ‘being’ or aligning with the subjective awareness of life. It is therefore like a posture as represented, for example, by the classic mudra (sacred hand position). Attention is aligned with the field/context rather than the customary focus on content and details. Intuition is valuable and investigative rather than being dismissed as illogical. Also, spiritual work is more like noticing and becoming aware rather than ‘doingness’ per se. Attitudes that may just seem merely ‘nice’ to ordinary mind become very powerful tools when aligned with spiritual intention and commitment. For instance, to strictly live by the dictum of ‘good will to all life’ is transformative when energized by the Spiritual Will.
The decisions to ‘be kind to all of life’ or to respect the sacredness of all that exists are powerful attitudes in spiritual evolution, along with the virtues of compassion, the willingness to forgive, and seeking to understand rather than to judge. By constant surrendering, perceptions dissolve into discernment of essence.
