Know Awareness

Awareness is crystallization of attention. We hardly know about attention. So the problem is that before you can know what awareness is you will have to familiarize yourself with what attention is. Attentiveness is the name of awareness when it is in gross form and when attentiveness gets crystallized then it gets transformed into awareness.

We are not born with awareness- we manufacture it. We are the creators of it. Until and unless we make an effort we will never have it. This is one of the biggest misconceptions that we are born with awareness, we have it just in form of possibility; just a seed, if not nurtured it may never grow to be a fruit. And heightened maturity of this awareness brings one closer to awakening. Awakening of the self, knowing it by experience.
