 Alright — I’ll make it as direct and minimal as Advaita itself.

Advaita: Is-ness

Is-ness (sat) is:

• not contemplation
• not meditation
• not an experience
• not something you do

It is that which is always already present.

What contemplation does

Contemplation (inquiry) only:

• removes attention from objects
• removes identification with mind
• removes ignorance

When nothing is being done to reach Being, Being remains.

The essential point

You do not contemplate is-ness.

You stop overlooking it.

Ramana’s final pointer

“You are not to attain the Self.

You are the Self.”

Silence is not a practice here —

it is what is left when seeking ends.

If you want to go one step subtler (very few teachings do), I can explain:

• why even “abiding as Being” is still a concession
• or how Advaita answers the Buddhist charge of reifying Being

Just say which.
