Being does not require thought. Be fully attentive, gently attentive. Trust the natural ease of awareness. Make no effort. No trying, no doing, no defensiveness. Just gazing and seeing without resistance.....Isn't it how we were when just born and of course few years after that and then we started loosing ourselves in the world of thoughts, emotions, sensations & actions...That natural state of being is just there in the background, because that is part of us and will be with us as long as we are in the body...We necessarily not to be in either our natural state (when we were born) or in our current state (state of adulthood as I may call it)...we can lead our life with both natural& adulthood state can co-exist supporting each other. I have figured out the way that works...by what I call practicing spiritual mental hygiene routine ..just the way we follow physical hygiene routines daily...Trust it works!
As long as I identify with the seed, tree and the fruits, the survival of my tree identity would depend upon whether there are customers for my fruits and I would live in a survival mode. But the moment it is revealed to me that I am not the seed but the nurturer who enable seed's growth, suddenly all trees look like me...my identity expanded, I am one with with everything around me...this perspective of leading life is like turning survival inside out, then what is outside in (all the resources needed for seed to grow - light, water, air etc.) is viewed as complimenting inside out and that's how life works...we breath out (inside out) and breath in (outside in)...both goes in a rhythm!
