Have you directly experienced, got a personal insight into what you are talking about yourself? Or do you feel like you are interpreting your scriptures faithfully? as there is a world of difference.

lf you feel like your shikantaza is giving you insight into reality and releasing your sankharas to reveal a pure mind that’s all that matters.

If you feel like you are stuck, consider what I’m taking about.

I think that there has been an error somewhere in the transmission if the role of vivekajam Piti sukham is being misunderstood

Shikantaza is the be all and end all, and I would not change a drop. There is no place to be unstuck or stuck. Please consider to sit the practice which is complete and whole with nothing more to do.

You just said that you practice Shikantaza, and I think that it is just your conception. I am glad that your practice seems good for you. Good luck to you.
