As we undergo the process of thinning out conditioned personality, we ultimately recognize that consciousness is naturally transparent & reflective like H2O. Water acts in the same as mind.

But when water is completely still, it is in its pure true state of transparency & reflectivity. The nature of mind is stillness, which is beyond effort.
