It's a wonderful thing to perceive the world and to interact with it and with other people and nature from that deep place of utter stillness, where the compulsion to immediately label and interpret whatever arises around you is no longer there.

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

True freedom is living as if you had completely chosen whatever you feel or experience in this moment. This inner alignment with the Now is the end of suffering.

Some people when I speak of awareness of the "inner body" call it a technique. I would not call it a technique because it is too simple for that. When the oak tree feels its roots in the earth, its connectedness with the earth, it is not practicing a technique.

People don't realize that now is all there ever is; there is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind.

The actual experience of awakening can only be in the present moment.

Nations consist of individuals. It is for every individual to bring in a different quality - the quality of awakened consciousness - into their lives.
