Original nature?
For me ‘original nature’ or ‘ground of being’ are not some ideal condition to attain away from the trials and tribulations of ordinary life but nothing less than the actual lived experience of our everyday lives.
They are always completely present in every moment whether one is sitting in quiet stillness or raging in a traffic jam next to a pneumatic drill on a boiling hot summer’s day.
There is nowhere to go, nothing to achieve or attain. Nor is there any escape since there is always the complete totality of presence.
No matter where you think you’re going to be or what you’re going to do it will always be right here, right now. There is nowhere else but here and now, no experience other than this. What is here, now and what you are is always complete and whole, indivisible yet impermanent.
