Don’t chase enlightenment; sit down, and it will trip over you.
The harder you sprint toward wisdom, the farther it seems to run. Enlightenment was never a finish line - it’s the clumsy friend who walks right into you the moment you stop pretending you know where you’re going. Sit still long enough, and understanding stumbles into your lap out of sheer impatience.
Chase vs. Stillness
The seeker exhausts themselves chasing the horizon. The sitter notices the horizon never moved at all.
The Lesson in Ease
Enlightenment isn’t earned by pursuit; it’s revealed by presence. When you stop performing wisdom and simply be, the truth arrives - slightly out of breath, annoyed you didn’t stay put earlier.
Practical Guidance
Stop running: Let wisdom catch you for once.
Sit honestly: Be where you are, not where you think you should be.
Trust the arrival: Truth finds the still, not the frantic.
Today’s Practice
Today, sit down - and give enlightenment a chance to bump into you.
