What I like so much about the term fulfilling, is that it relates to spaciousness.
When seeing ourselves as the space in which our experience is held, with a quality of its own independent of the content of our experience, once again we find that we can't nót be fulfilled.
We are always fulfilled.
However, we can sometimes not be aware of being fulfilled.
Like a glass can't ever be totally empty. It can be filled with water. It can be filled with air. It can be half filled with water and half filled with air, yet it's always full. Even when the content of the glass would be as much nothingness as we can imagine, then it would still be full with that nothingness.
We are always fulfilled. Whether we are aware of it or not.
So why bother with a practice to become aware of being fulfilled? Why strive for something that supposedly would end any striving? Why not skip any striving right away?
Because it is the awareness of being fulfilled that makes you feel fulfilled. The upgrade from a knowing of fulfillment to a feeling of fulfillment allows you to enjoy living it. Only in this living of it the striving for ending striving makes sense, as well as that the end of striving means accepting striving makes sense.
We are always fulfilled. Being aware of this and feeling this is bliss. Just so you know, now.
