You are directly introduced to your own state of intrinsic awareness.
Once you recognize fresh present wakefulness as your underlying real nature, you will realize that there is nothing else.
Therefore, you will rest in thought free wakeful awareness without distraction.
Explanation:
Although we all have the same underlying wakeful fresh presence, it is often obscured from our attention by our thoughts and emotions that leave us in a small and confined conceptual prison of our own thoughts.
The main cure for our distracted, discouraged and sometimes lazy performance, is the recognition of our real true nature. This is the knowing of one that is the knowing of all.
Our real nature is absolutely concept and thought free and is being pointed out so that it can be recognized, this recognition stabilized and finally realized.

Innate nature, fresh present wakefulness, intrinsic awareness, empty cognizance, egolessness (rig pa) underly our busy thought driven self.
It is a wakefulness that is not conceptual.
It is usually obscured from our attention by our thoughts that we seem almost to live in or through.
It is valuable if recognized and invaluable if realized.
There is a space between our thoughts and surprisingly that’s more our identity than the preceding or following thoughts.
Another way of approaching this is to search through our awareness for our attention.
Where is our attention?
Our attention is usually what clings, seeking identification with what it wants and shunning what it doesn’t want.
Clinging is what obscures(veils) our underlying awareness and nature (rig pa) from view by our attention.
It short circuits “letting it be”…”letting go”…”letting flow”.
Even if we don’t go with the flow, the flow goes with us.
A finger writing on water lets the words liberate as they are written.
Enlightenment matters, because we need to look in the right place in order to learn to know the knowing of one that is the knowing of all.
