The Cloud of Unknowing teaches us to sit at the door of divine mystery, letting go of effort and surrendering to grace. This mirrors profound teachings in the Buddha Dharma, emphasizing direct experience, trust, and stillness.
The Buddha’s phrase “Ehi Passiko” (Come and see) invites us to encounter truth directly—not through intellectual striving, but through quiet observation. In the Satipatthana Sutta, mindfulness is described as simply observing the body, feelings, and mind as they arise, with no need to grasp or resist.
This is like sitting at the door of unknowing: allowing thoughts, emotions, and sensations to come and go, while resting in awareness. We are not called to force understanding or make something happen; we simply sit, trusting the process.
Another Buddhist teaching, Vossagga (letting go), encourages us to release grasping and surrender to the natural flow of life. Even the ego’s restlessness becomes part of the practice, not something to fight against. As we trust the unfolding of awareness, stillness grows.
This gentle practice reminds us that neither the ego nor effort creates transformation—it is the natural interplay of surrender and grace. Whether we call it divine love or pristine awareness, sitting at the door reveals a deeper truth.
How can you embrace this today? Simply sit. Let go. Trust.
