Doing is never enough if you neglect Being.

You can always cope with the present moment, but you cannot cope with something that is only a mind projection - you cannot cope with the future.

You need to learn to be with the suffering that inevitably arises in your life.

Every practice at some point will become a hindrance. No practice can ever take you there, to freedom, to liberation. That's important to realize.

Beyond the beauty of external forms, there is more here: something that cannot be named, something ineffable, some deep, inner, holy essence. Whenever and wherever there is beauty, this inner essence shines through somehow. It only reveals itself to you when you are present.

The ego always looks toward the next moment for some kind of fulfillment.

When you are full of problems, there is no room for anything new to enter, no room for a solution. So whenever you can, make some room, create some space, so that you find the life underneath your life situation.
