You cannot give your full attention to something, and at the same time resist it.

True salvation is freedom from negativity, and above all from past and future as a psychological need.

Do you really need to mentally label every sense perception and experience? Do you really need to have a reactive like/dislike relationship with life where you are in almost continuous conflict with situations and people? Or is that just a deep-seated mental habit that can be broken? Not by doing anything, but by allowing this moment to be as it is.

Our animal friends’ non-reactive and forgiving natures can teach us positive spiritual lessons on a daily basis.

You are the knowing, not the condition that is known.

When you are in the present moment, you break the continuity of your story, of past and future. Then true intelligence arises, and also love.

The ego's form of happiness can't exist without unhappiness. The ego will be happy when something good happens but unhappy when it ends.
