“but once we understand the non-existence nature of our conceptual world, it drops. Out emerges our inherent potential to live in our hollowness, but this time our hollowness opens a doorway to the existence of flowing life; a self-unfolding flow of life. It is the door to the dimensionless existentially flowing life.”

“The important thing, therefore, is to be aware from moment to moment without accumulating the experience which awareness brings; because, the moment you accumulate, you are aware only according to that accumulation, according to that pattern, according to that experience. That is your awareness is conditioned by your accumulation and therefore there is no longer observation but merely translation. Where there is translation, there is choice, and choice creates conflict; in conflict there can be no understanding.”

“That is the difficulty, because most of us are incapable of being passively aware, letting the problem tell the story without our interpreting it. We do not know how to look at a problem dispassionately. We are not capable of it, unfortunately, because we want a result from the problem, we want an answer, we are looking to an end; or we try to translate the problem according to our pleasure or pain; or we have an answer already on how to deal with the problem.”

“A rich landlord had a rather spendthrift son who had no value for money. After the landlord’s death, the son spent away all of his father’s fortune. Then realising his relatives would not support him, the son decided to leave the city. What remained of his father’s legacy was one very expensive shawl, which the son used to cover himself with. After suffering unbearable hunger pangs, for the first time he realised he needed to earn his livelihood. He took up work as a labourer. He didn’t even own a pair of sandals so when he received his meagre pay he bought a cheap pair. He put on his sandals and stepped out of the shop. The wet and muddy street instantly covered his new sandals with muck which he began to wipe away using his father’s shawl. A man asked, ‘Are you foolish to clean these cheap sandals with that expensive shawl?’ The son looked up calmly and said, ‘The shawl my father earned. These sandals I earned!”
