Stop attaching to distinctions and release and let go of the mind.  Stop attaching to maya and release all control.  Watch reality play itself out.  Watch yourself play itself out. Release, release, release.  Let go, let go, let go.  Stop augmenting reality with beliefs.  Become indifferent.

From The Bhagavad Gita:

"The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: O Partha, when a man gives up all varieties of desire for sense gratification, which arise from mental concoction, and when his mind, thus purified, finds satisfaction in the Self alone, then he is said to be in pure transcendental consciousness."

"A person who is not disturbed by the incessant flow of desires -- that enter like rivers into the ocean, which is ever being filled but always still -- can alone achieve peace, and not the man who strives to satisfy such desires."

"A person who has given up all desires for sense gratification, who lives free from desires, who has given up all sense of proprietorship  and is devoid of false ego -- he alone can attain real peace."

"Being purified by his intelligence and controlling the mind with determination, giving up the objects of sense gratification, being freed from attachment and hatred, one who lives in a secluded place, who eats little, who controls his body, mind, and power of speech, who is always in trance and is detached, free from false ego, false strength, false pride, lust, anger, and acceptance of material things, who is free from false proprietorship, and who is peaceful -- such a person is certainly elevated to the position of self-realization."

@Natasha When I see the limits of existence when I meditate I smile and think.  Wow, it's just this easy!  This is all there is?  Cool!  Nothing to worry about.  We all exist in a small, plain, white room -- even if we don't realize it.  The space of the soul.

Yes, you're the container in which existence dwells. Can't contain the container haha You're untouchable!

@Natasha You are the awareness of experience.  And the increasing consciousness.  You as a process of increasing awareness.
