When the heart truly understands, it lets go of everything.

Sati is life. Whenever we don't have sati, when we are heedless, it's as if we are dead.

At some point your heart will tell itself what to do.

Proper effort is not the effort to make something particular happen. It is the effort to be aware and awake each moment, the effort to overcome laziness and merit, the effort to make each activity of our day meditation.

Letting go a little brings a little peace. Letting go a lot brings a lot of peace. Letting go completely brings complete peace.

Learn to see that it is not things that bother us, that we go out to bother them. See the world as a mirror. It is all a reflection of the mind. When you know this, you can grow in every moment, and every experience reveals truth and brings understanding.

If you have time to be mindful, you have time to meditate.
