There is nothing in my experience that is not true. If there were anything at all untrue, how could I presume to guide others? As for you, obviously there is something not true; that is why you come to someone to find certainty.
There is no particular pathway into it. If your own self is clear and everything is It, when you visit a teacher you do not see that there is a teacher; when you inquire of yourself, you do not see that you have a self. When you see in this way, are you not independent and free?
