Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it.

To know yourself as the Being underneath the thinker, the stillness underneath the mental noise, the love and joy underneath the pain, is freedom, salvation, enlightenment.

Whatever you think the world is withholding from you, you are withholding from the world.

Of course, most of the people in this world are stressed, and most of those who are not stressed are totally bored!

Being is accessible to you now as your own deepest self, your true nature. But don't seek to grasp it with your mind. Don't try to understand it. You can know it only when the mind is still. When you are present, when your attention is fully and intensely in the Now, Being can be felt, but it can never be understood mentally.

It is not uncommon for people to spend their whole life waiting to start living.

To be aware of little, quiet things, you need to be quiet inside. A high degree of alertness is required. Be still. Look. Listen. Be present.
