A masters response to the bullshit “it’s all an illusion. Stop seeking”

[who chit]

There's an audience for it because people want a quick fix for everything. If it requires time and a bit of effort there's a problem.
Years and years of conditioning aren't gonna just drop away for good in one satsang or meditation or self inquiry . Also, one has to understand that the ones who truly are enlightened, giving that instruction of "you are that,nothing to do" are giving it because that is where they are seeing from and it can't be any different. They no longer see duality or other,the veil/conditioning is gone. When they woke up,so did everyone else,so there's nothing to do.
 After putting in years of effort and finally coming to that in a flash,they negate the entire journey in favor of that instant when it finally ended the journey. It always happens in a flash or instant,it can't happen in any other way because it's always now. When it happens,it happens now. Since now is not bound to the duality of time,whether 1 minute or in 10 yrs,it will happen in Now.

One can wake up right now,so give it a go.
Don't forget to come back and tell everyone there's nothing to do though.
And the other stipulation is that you have to have never put in any effort. Has to be legit.

I like him in certain sense. However, he looks like "healed drug addict that kept his involuntary movements and he has strange artificial ignorant smile". This is at first glance and I do not understand shit what he is talking about in some of his videos.  The same can be said about me .

@who chit What if you recontextualize this neo-advaita saying into Ralston's words like so:

there is nothing to do -> you should realize who you are RIGHT NOW! You are IT! You do not become anything else! etc.

Depends on the person. Doesn't depend on where they are or what they're doing,it hits because it's time. Having someone like Ralston or any guru saying "do it now" doesn't make the difference. There could be an argument made that being in the presence of their energy made the difference,but that depends on if the person is in a highly receptive state. The words are much less important than that presence the guru is emanating. Say There are 10 other people there and only one woke up. Why didn't the other 9? Same words,same presence but only one woke up. That person who it was time for, just happened to be with the guru at that time. That same person could have been doing laundry and the same thing would happen. The difference is that person's intent and desire are strongly aligned and receptivity is wide open. When I say strongly aligned,not many have that "come hell or highwater, this is all that matters" intent.  A person with that kind of intent, the instruction "you are that" would be enough. That's what happened with Nisargadatta. The guru told him he was that,and Nisargadatta held with that every waking moment until it happened. His Intent is what made the difference. If unwavering intent is there 24/7, waking up is inevitable. 'God,Self,Absolute or whatever can't ignore that kind of intent.

The only true part of that whole projection of nonsense of yours. You don’t understand because you have fantasies over this matter.
