Here and there is an illusion

There is no difference between here and there.

If you are in New York City, it is the same as being in Los Angeles.

If you are in India, it is the same as being in Africa.

The only difference is the phenomena experienced—some good, some bad. Phenomena that come, stay for a bit, then go. And they always go.

If you believe there is a real (i.e., unchanging) difference between the two then you are identified with the seemingly dualistic nature of the universe. 

I encourage you to meditate on the one who is having the experience in India or Los Angeles or New York, etc. The one watching all the events that meet the eye.

That never changes. It, is—beyond duality, beyond here and there.

It is your true home and getting comfortable with it is perhaps one of the most valuable assets to be attained as a human being and a necessity for the unchanging Servant of Truth.
