Nothing has happened in the past; it happened in the Now. Nothing will ever happen in the future; it will happen in the Now.

The fullness of life is only accessible in the present moment.

The essence of every form is the deathless. Even the essence of a blade of grass is the deathless. And that's why the world of form is sacred.

If you keep your attention in the body as much as possible, you will be anchored in the Now. You won't lose yourself in the external world, and you won't lose yourself in your mind. Thoughts and emotions, fears and desires may still be there to some extent, but they won't take you over.

Hang on to the inner body, let it be the anchor, then you're present. If they say something challenging and you lose it again, pause, and anchor again. Practice, practice, continuous practice-becaus e when you're in touch with the inner body, spaciousness arises.

You cannot find yourself by going into the past. You can find yourself by coming into the present.

The 'soul' is one of the words you can use to talk about your innermost being, the essence of who you are.
