Watch the clouds. They will teach you about the world of form.

When you are suffering, when you are unhappy, stay totally with what is Now. Unhappiness or problems cannot survive in the Now.

Let go of thought, become still and alert, and don't try to understand or explain.

As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve, and life begins to flow with joy and ease. When you act out the present-moment awareness, whatever you do becomes imbued with a sense of quality, care, and love - even the most simple action.

I have seen cases where people seemed to become totally free of ego, and at some point in their lives the ego came back. It has happened, for example, to some spiritual teachers. At some point in their lives, they began to identify again with form.

Once you have had a glimpse of awareness or Presence, you know it firsthand. It is no longer just a concept in your mind.

Some people are stuck in tedious things, like their jobs, and they are bored. Other people experience one stressful thing after another.
