The witness is always in the here and now and it lives in each instant of living. To be in the witness is to listen with a still heart, with a waiting, open soul, without clinging, without opinions.
Ram DassI can do nothing for you but work on myself...you can do nothing for me but work on yourself!
Ram DassSo somebody comes along and gets to me. They get me angry or uptight or they awaken some desire in me, wow am I delighted. They got me. And thatโs my work on myself. If I am angry with you because your behavior doesnโt fill my model of how you should be, thatโs my problem for having models. No expectations, no upset. If you are a liar and a cheat, thatโs your Karma. If Iโm cheated, thatโs my work on myself.
