Stories are the untested, uninvestigated theories that tell us what all these things mean. We don’t even realize that they’re just theories.

But when you think you're supposed to do something with it and imagine that you're the doer, that's pure delusion. Just follow your passion. Do what you love. Inquire, and have a happy life while you're doing it.

The last story: God is everything, God is good.

We suffer only until we realize that we can't know anything.

That's the purpose of stress. It's a friend. It's an alarm clock, built in to let you know that it's time to do The Work.

No one has ever been able to control his thinking, although people may tell the story of how they have. I don't let go of my thoughts-I meet them with understanding. Then they let go of me.

It doesn´t come later. Everything you´re supposed to do is here right now.
