Toni Packer is yet another of our blessed female, spiritual teachers, who speaks as one who knows. Her latest book, "The Silent Question," is an anthology of talks and dialogues she has had with various seekers on retreat with her. The following excerpt from her book presents a "radical perception," of which I have long been enamored.
"It is a radical perception that there is absolutely nothing to gain, nothing to get, nothing to be, nothing to hold on to. As I say this, do you already notice a subtle resistance to it? Or is there simply thinking, "Yes, it's OK." Nothing to get. Nothing to be. Nothing to understand, for that matter. Being here is totally sufficient. It doesn't need to be understood."
