What is awareness?

What is awareness?

Awareness is neither accepting nor rejecting. There is a famous saying of Tilopa:

"Truly, because of our accepting and rejecting, we have not the suchness of things" -- we miss the suchness of things.

We cannot become aware of what reality is because we accept or we reject.

When we accept, we indulge. When we reject, we repress.

Buddha says: Don't accept, don't reject -- just be alert, just see.

Look, with no prejudice for or against.

If you can be in such an indifferent UDASEEN -- in such non-valuing, non-judging awareness -- things start changing of their own accord...
