How’ is always more important that ‘what.’ See if you can give much more attention to the doing than to the result that you want to achieve through it.

Being is central, and Being is now. The fulfillment of your life is not going to happen through anything. The outer activities in your life are secondary. What is Primary is Being.

Then, if action is possible or necessary, you take action or rather right action happens through you. Right action is action that is appropriate to the whole. When the action is accomplished, the alert, spacious stillness remains.

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

To be identified with your mind is to be trapped in time: the compulsion to live almost exclusively through memory and anticipation. This creates an endless preoccupation with past and future and an unwillingness to honor and acknowledge the present moment and allow it to be. The compulsion arises because the past gives you an identity and the future holds the promise of salvation, of fulfillment in whatever form. Both are illusions.

There's something in everybody that longs for that awakening to be more true to yourself.

If there are people you haven't forgiven, you're not going to really awaken. You have to let go.
