Self Enquiry - the only way

Dear Father,

Today is three years since you came into my life. The first year was tumultous!
It has taken me 3 years to understand and totally accept what you taught for 50 years -- the I am or Self-enquiry as a way of life.
For 3 years I have either concocted my own sadhanas, or fallen prey to others' ideas of sadhanas, but finally I am home. Finally, beaten and defeated by the tricks of the false-self, I have understood.

There is no other way (for me).

Many a times, I almost lost the battle, and then you picked me up and put me back in silent awareness. "Who Am I" makes such sense now. Nothing can make more sense - nothing. What I am is reality, that is SOOO clear, and everything else is false, dream-like. As time goes back there will be less and less falling back into falsehood.

The peace of what I am, is all i ever want - no fancy blisses, or experiences. Thank you for that. Let it be as you wish, all is acceptable to me.

Glory to Him who removes ignorance and darkness, and restores reality.
