Seeing that nothing is solid or permanent you begin to make yourself at home in the unknown.

Thoughts and emotions will always arise.

Melting our attachment to self is the most powerful medication for bringing mental and emotional imbalances in check.

What good are thoughts and emotions-in fact all of our experiences-if not to increase our realization?

When we trust our creativity we encounter a supreme kind of enjoyment - an amazement at the natural unfolding of life beyond our ordinary way of looking at things.

You as a salt-being, made of salt, go to fathom the depth of the ocean, and in the process you yourself dissolve. A great maharishi once said that true meditation is like this.

Self-reflection is the gateway to freedom. It also brings greater appreciation and enjoyment. We begin to enjoy spending time with our own mind, and we enjoy reflecting on our experience of the teachings. Like the sun emerging from behind the clouds, the teachings of the dharma become clear.
