Within this text, meditation is presented less as a technique to be mastered and more as a clear recognition of what is always already the case. The emphasis falls on the insight that one’s true nature is pure, formless awareness, distinct from body, mind, and the sense of being a doer. From this standpoint, meditation is not an act of becoming something new, but a resting in what is ever-present. The usual project of refining or purifying the mind is treated as secondary to the more radical gesture of ceasing to identify with the mind altogether. When thoughts, sensations, and emotions are seen as mere appearances in consciousness, the underlying witness stands revealed as untouched and free.

Consequently, formal methods—postures, breath control, or forceful concentration—are viewed as unnecessary and even potentially reinforcing the illusion of a separate meditator. The text points instead to an effortless awareness, an abiding as the witness that does not grasp at or reject any experience. Any strong sense of “I am meditating and will attain liberation” is exposed as another movement of ignorance, because it presupposes a separate agent striving toward a future goal. When this doer-identity relaxes, what remains is a natural, uncontrived awareness that does not need to be produced. Meditation, in this light, culminates in the disappearance of the one who claims to practice it.

This orientation also has implications for how experiences are regarded. Rather than seeking special inner states, the teaching encourages equanimity toward all phenomena—pleasure and pain, success and failure, thought and no-thought are understood as equal waves arising in the same consciousness. The meditative stance is not the maintenance of a particular condition of mind, but the recognition that all conditions appear within an unchanging Self. Such recognition is aligned with non-dual insight: distinctions such as good and bad, inner and outer, are seen as ultimately illusory. Liberation is thus portrayed as potentially immediate, arising from direct understanding rather than from a gradual accumulation of practices or attainments.
