In this episode, I speak about the end of suffering through a deep realization: this existence is a closed system. Nothing can be added, and nothing can be taken away. Everything that appears—birth, growth, loss, death—is simply movement within the same whole.

The illusion of “becoming” is created by perception. We think something new has entered, or something old has been lost, but in reality, nothing ever enters and nothing ever leaves. Just as waves rise and fall on the ocean without ever adding to or taking away from the ocean itself, so too does every experience rise and fall within existence.

When you internalize this truth—not just as an idea but as a lived understanding—the grip of suffering weakens. The fear of loss, the endless chase for more, the anxiety of change, all begin to dissolve. You see that life is complete, always moving, but never lacking.

This is the doorway to peace: knowing that all becoming is illusion, and all that is, already is.
