Everything is honoured, but nothing matters.

Wisdom comes with the ability to be still. Just look and just listen. No more is needed. Being still, looking, and listening activates the non-conceptual intelligence within you. Let stillness direct your words and actions.

Can you look without the voice in your head commenting, drawing conclusions, comparing, or trying to figure something out?

You might say, 'What a dreadful day', without realizing that the cold, the wind, and the rain or whatever condition you react to are not dreadful. They are as they are. What is dreadful is your reaction, your inner resistance to it, and the emotion that is created by that resistance.

Complete surrender usually happens through living. Your very life is the ground where that happens. There may be a partial surrender and then there may be an opening, and then you may engage in spiritual practice.

The habit patterns of the human mind are very strong and make it seem that the hard way is easy and the easy way is hard.

Worry means the mind is controlling you. Worry is always pointless. A solution never comes out of worry.
