Simple, Ordinary, Everywhere, Normal.

Conditioning arises in presence, not right or wrong, it just is.
There are habits that keep you from resting in your true nature,
particular patterns that keep you from resting in presence.
Notice that.

"The person who is Self-Realised who knows God/Creation and themselves as not separate, the only Reality, Truth being already everywhere all at once and all there is, is no different from anybody else. 

That they are the changeless Reality, existing everywhere in and through everything, never subject to change, loss or alteration, and there is nothing else, because Truth is normal; ordinary, the person who knows it is also normal; ordinary.

There is nothing special or extraordinary about them. There being nothing more common or nothing more or less than the Truth existing everywhere in Creation, the only difference is, a person who is Self ‘realised’ knows it and, the other who doesn’t is yet to know. .

In the eyes of Truth/Creation the person having recognised it is utterly ordinary and normal. That no one can see ‘It’ until the Truth is pointed out, is extraordinary. 

Making the delusion perfect is our ignoring ourselves. Once it is pointed out, the person no longer able to ignore themselves, suffers no longer. No longer miserable, having no more doubts the person is free: jivamuktah.

Ignoring ourselves, ignorant of who we are, remaining unseen, as long as what is not seen, identifiable and tangible - knowable - Self - is ignored, we continue to be miserable and suffer. 

As knowledge explodes, and the intangible and infallible, ever present Self is pointed out by the teacher and recognised through Self-knowledge, Atma Gnanam, recognising your own permanence, seeing there is only one constant, the nature of all things being recognised, all misery, doubt, suffering, disappointment and confusion instantly disappears. ॐ."
