After awakening, there is gentle observation of the unfolding reality experience. It’s a state where the harshness of judgement, worry, and indignation (among other negativity) has simply faded away.
It is effortless now, though it may have taken many years, tons of practice, and devotion. But, now “letting go” is the daily way of being. The individual is released, though interacting with the day still occurs.
In this new way of unfolding, people, places, and events pass by, but they are easy and seen as fleeting.
There is a newfound lightness. That’s why enlightenment can be seen as the opposite of heaviness.
