Life is not a problem to be solved, but an experience to be had. |
There never is, or was, or will be anything except the present. |
But we try to pretend, you see, that the external world exists altogether independently of us. |
If you say that getting the money is the most important thing, you'll spend your life completely wasting your time. You'll be doing things you don't like doing in order to go on living, that is to go on doing thing you don't like doing, which is stupid. |
You are the universe experiencing itself. |
The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance. |
As soon as we free ourselves from the mirage of hurrying time, we are alive again, as in childhood, to the ecstasies of ordinary life. |
There is a price to be paid for every increase in consciousness. We cannot be more sensitive to pleasure without being more sensitive to pain. |
The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance. |
Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment. |
