Try Being
Without Trying

Try this:

Try touching your fingertips
With your fingertips

No, don't touch the fingertips of one hand
With the fingertips of the other hand

Touch each fingertip with itself

Can't do it, can you?

Now, try this:

Try looking at your own eyes
With your own eyes

No, don't use a mirror
Look at your own eyes
With your own eyes

Can't do it, can you?

Now, try this:

Try looking
At the back of your own head
Without a mirror!

Can't do it, can you?

Do you get it yet?

Do you get who you really are yet?

It's really quite simple
