A practical way to live these teachings is to keep returning, throughout the day, to the bare sense of being, the simple feeling “I am” before any description. This means pausing in the midst of ordinary activities and briefly resting in the fact of existing, prior to the stories of “I am this” or “I am that.” Thoughts, roles, and emotions can then be seen as secondary, arising within a more fundamental awareness. Such a shift is not a matter of acquiring new beliefs, but of repeatedly directing attention back to the immediate sense of presence. Over time, this gives priority to the fundamental inquiry “What am I, really?” rather than to the endless narratives of the mind.

Equally central is the recognition of oneself as the witnessing consciousness rather than as the changing contents of experience. In daily situations, thoughts, sensations, and moods can be noticed as coming and going, while silently acknowledging that they are seen. This quiet recognition that “this is seen; the seer is different” loosens the habitual identification with the body, mind, and personality. The various self-images, roles, and labels are then understood as temporary appearances in consciousness, not as the core of what one is. This witnessing is not a withdrawal from life, but a different way of standing in relation to it.

From this standpoint, experiences are treated as passing states rather than as identity. Pleasant events can be enjoyed without clinging, with the understanding that they are transient. Painful events can be met with a similar clarity, recognized as temporary movements in awareness rather than as a definition of the self. Such recognition naturally supports a form of inner acceptance: phenomena are allowed to arise and subside according to their nature, while appropriate action is still taken. This inner non-resistance reduces the compulsion to control everything and softens the sense of being a separate, embattled doer.

Finally, everyday life itself becomes the field of practice. In conversation and work, there can be a subtle remembrance that awareness is listening and speaking through this body–mind, and that others, too, appear in the same awareness. Mental commentary and constant judgment can be noticed and gently dropped, returning again to simple seeing and sensing. Forgetting this perspective is inevitable, yet each moment of noticing and returning to the sense of “I am” allows the understanding to deepen and stabilize. Over time, actions arise more spontaneously from the present moment, with less attachment to outcomes and less dependence on conceptual interpretations.
