Swami Sarvapriyananda speaks on non-dual meditation as part of a retreat in Garrison, New York. This is Part 1 of the discourse.

Take a stand as Awareness.

What brings so much clarity to this for me is the practice of resting in awareness (choiceless awareness, just sitting, do nothing meditation). It's a powerful and intimate familiarization with Awareness. A prerequisite and facilitation technique for this realization.

Interestingly enough, your mention of "choiceless awareness" resonates well.

There was a statement that I once heard that resonated totally along similar lines: The path of perfect freedom is paradoxically CHOICELESS.

When one's attention transcends to that which lies beyond thought, one somehow intuitively "knows without thinking" what is in the best interests of all. One's actions become CHOICELESS.
