At our core we are the eternal, changeless now (or consciousness or Brahman)
Since birth we have been told that we should be doing this or doing that.
Strive towards becoming this or that.
However, we are already fully complete as we are.
At our core nothing can change.
Being and becoming are like two ends of the same line with the mind in middle.
When mind hankers after something it struggles in the field of becoming.
When becoming is complete mind comes to the being and relaxes there.
Soon enough however a new becoming attracts the mind and takes it away from being.
In Vedanta, it is said don't be this or that just be.
Be as you are.
