3.1 Since You Are Already Secure, Why Seek?

3.1 Since You Are Already Secure, Why Seek?

【Insight】
The greatest trap in spiritual practice is "seeking." The moment you believe liberation lies in the future, in some distant place, or in a special frequency, you have already turned away from Self‑Nature---you are using "mind at work" to chase a concept.

【Reality】
Self‑Nature is like the air before your eyes---so near, so omnipresent, that you overlook it. You do not need to "cultivate" wholeness---you only need to recognize the background that has never been broken: the body of No‑Mind.

【Embodied Practice】
Many ask: "After seeing my true nature, do I still need to meditate?"

The truth is: before realization, meditation is seeking; after realization, meditation is simply Self‑Nature resting---the natural abiding of No‑Mind. If you feel peaceful on the cushion but agitated off it, you have merely grasped a "phantom of stillness"---not recognized the unmoving essence.

Try this in the noisiest moment---in a packed subway, or a heated meeting---and ask:

"Is the awareness that observes all this---disturbed?"

You will find: no matter how chaotic the outer world, that awareness remains as silent as empty space. This "abiding in the marketplace" is the true practice of No‑Practice---it is the present‑moment functioning of No‑Mind.
