Awakening is not something that one makes happen, it’s something that occurs. How you will know that it occurred is by the awareness you have that your mind was based to self serve and now it’s based in stillness. Very simple to see this once it occurs, very difficult to see it if it doesn’t. The key to the expansion of stillness is to know the true nature of your own mind.

Stillness doesn’t have to be attained for one to acquire it, all that’s needed is to be aware it’s not there.
