❝ When you come to see that you can do nothing, that the play of thought or feeling just goes on by itself as a happening, then you are in a state which we will call meditation. And slowly without being pushed, your thoughts will come to silence. That is to say, all the verbal symbolic chatter going on in the skull — don’t try and get rid of it because that will again produce the illusion that there’s a controller. It just goes on and goes on and goes on and finally gets tired of itself, gets bored and stops. And so then there’s a silence. And this is a deeper level of meditation. And in that silence you suddenly begin to see the world as it is. ❞
Alan Watts (via unconditionedconsciousness)
❝ From then on, the boy understood his heart. He asked it, please, never to stop speaking to him. He asked that, when he wandered far from his dreams, his heart press him and sound the alarm. The boy swore that, every time he heard the alarm, he would heed its message. ❞
Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist (via samsaranmusing)

❝ I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self. ❞

Too many colours blind the eye.
Too many tones deafen the ear.
Too many flavours dull the taste.
Too many thoughts derange the mind.
Too many desires weaken the heart.

The Sage observes the world
but trusts his inner vision.
He allows things to come and go.
His heart is open as the sky.

~ Lao Tzu (Tao Te Ching, c.12)

❝ Love says “I am everything”.
Wisdom says “I am nothing”.
Between the two, my life flows. ❞
