Awakening is not something you achieve. It is something you relax into.

When you are present, you are transcendent of the mind and ego and so you can witness your mind and ego. You can be conscious of your thoughts without being lost in them when they arise.

You can live in a house, but your real home is inside you.

In the present moment, you are beyond all definition. This means that you are no longer defined by the pain and limitations of the past. You are no longer defined by your judgments, opinions or beliefs nor are you defined by the judgment, opinions or beliefs of others.

If you’re truly present in this moment, then you are a Buddha. At least for this moment!

When you are caught in the mind, your past defines you. When you are present, you are beyond definition.

It is far wiser to ask for a question than an answer. When you think you have all the answers, it simply means you have run out of questions.
