He consists only of one quality: witnessing.
This small word witnessing contains the whole of spirituality.

you start becoming drunk with the divine.
That is what is called ecstasy.

and within knowledge everything is included;

This will be a crucifixion of the persona, the personality,
and there will be a resurrection of your innocence.
You will become a child again, reborn.

not sitting for anything in particular,
just enjoying how beautiful
just sitting doing nothing is,
how relaxing, how restful.
