THIS often thinks that it is a separate person that has appeared in an inanimate external universe, and THIS intuits that there is something wrong with this story. THIS then searches for the truth using whatever methodology is available or seems most appropriate. When THIS sees-through the illusion of separateness, life continues as before but without the illusion of separateness, and without abidance in the mind.
The most significant difference is that all searching for truth comes to an end because THIS recognizes itself and discovers its inherent wholeness. THIS, as a particular body/mind, discovers that it is infinite, unborn, undying, at peace, and in love with its own beingness.
All of this seeming activity of searching and finding is like an undulation in the fabric of that which is beyond either existence or non-existence or any idea whatsoever.
Practically speaking, the greatest benefit for most people is a total loss of the fear of death, the end of all searching, and a release from the prison of ideation. THIS can then revel in the pure beingness of "what is," and live life full of gratitude, humility, and joy. Kabir summed it up well when he wrote, "I saw the truth for fifteen seconds and became a servant for life."
