Whatever you do in your daily life - driving from here to there, trying to reach someone on the phone, doing this or that - you always are going toward somewhere. That's inevitable.

To listen to the silence, wherever you are, is an easy and direct way of becoming present.

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

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

The most decisive event in your life is when you discover you are not your thoughts or emotions. Instead, you can be present as the awareness behind the thoughts and emotions.

Whatever you do, whatever you're working with, whether it's manual work or talking to people or buying or selling, every little thing encompasses the power and simplicity of presence.

To be a seeker implies that you need the future. If this is what you believe, it becomes true for you: you will need time until you realize that you don't need time to be who you are.
