Watch the functioning of your own mind in a calm and detached manner so you can gain insight into your own behavior.

No matter how hard you pursue pleasure and success, there are times when you fail. No matter how fast you flee, there are times when pain catches up with you.

Ignorance may be bliss, but it does not lead to liberation.

You can only have bliss if you don't chase it.

Watch the functioning of your own mind in a calm and detached manner so you can gain insight into your own behavior.

Let come what comes, and accommodate yourself to that, whatever it is. If good mental images arise, that is fine. If bad mental images arise, that is fine, too. Look on all of it as equal, and make yourself comfortable with whatever happens.

The process of becoming who you will be begins first with the total acceptance of who you are.
