Give your fullest attention to whatever the moment presents.

I have lived with several Zen masters -- all of them cats.

When you are aware of space, you are not really aware of anything, except awareness itself - the inner space of consciousness. Through you, the universe is becoming aware of itself! Just as space enables all things to exist and just as without silence there could be no sound, you would not exist without the vital formless dimension that is the essence of who you are.

The difference between you, if you consider yourself not enlightened, and an enlightened master is not that the enlightened master has more knowledge. University professors have knowledge, and many enlightened masters have very little knowledge. Jesus probably had less knowledge than any university professor alive today in terms of raw information. Even a relatively uneducated person has more information than Jesus or Buddha ever had about things, such as political things and so on.

Most people want to get what they want, whereas the secret is to want what you get at this moment.

Attention is the key to transformation- and full attention also implies acceptance.

Neither failure nor success has the power to change your inner state of Being.
