Direct your attention inward. Have a look inside yourself. What kind of thoughts is your mind producing? What do you feel? Direct your attention into the body. Is there any tension? Once you detect that there is a low level of unease, the background static, see in what way you are avoiding, resisting, or denying life-by denying the Now.

Pain is the fuel that lights the flame of our enlightenment

You are awareness, disguised as a person.

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

Whatever you think people are withholding from you-praise, appreciation, assistance, loving care, and so on-give it to them.

Things and conditions can give you pleasure but they cannot give you joy- joy arises from within.

Your unhappiness ultimately arises not from the circumstances of your life but from the conditioning of your mind.
