Zen realization is very simple: you simply live every day life. There is something extra however: an intuitive knowledge of your true nature. This original nature is unborn, as in it has no attributes. It doesn't feel holy nor happy nor anything. The only thing left about it is an intimate feeling. You know it is you but there is nothing to say about it.
This unborn nature is the simplest thing ever. It is the thing that has always been around without any questions. From that perspective "deluded" life feels extremely complex. All these concepts and striving and questions we have simply stop making any sense. We are simply what is.
Because of this I would say it is almost impossible to realize it by looking for something or by any process. You need to give up any striving and simply not expect anything regarding to realization. Keep an open mind and work with Zen texts/Zen masters.
