You can be very much aware that when you are stressed, it always is a sign you have lost the present moment. So, you can choose to re-enter the present moment.

Acceptance of the unacceptable is the greatest source of grace in this world.

Many people don't realise until they are on their deathbed and everything external falls away that no thing ever had anything to do with who they are.

We could say that the totality, life wants the sapling to become a tree, but the sapling doesn't see itself as separate from life and so wants nothing for itself. It is one with what life wants. That's why it isn't worried or stressed. And, if it has to die prematurely, it dies with ease.

The equivalent of external noise is the inner noise of thinking. The equivalent of external silence is inner stillness.

The ego isn't wrong; it's just unconscious. When you observe the ego in yourself, you are beginning to go beyond it. Don't take the ego too seriously. When you detect egoic behavior in yourself, smile. At times you may even laugh. How could humanity have been taken in by this for so long? Above all, know that the ego isn't personal. It isn't who you are. If you consider the ego to be your personal problem, that's just more ego.

When you live in complete acceptance of what is, that is the end of all drama in your life.
