“Enjoy life without clinging to it or pushing it away… If you are willing to experience the gift of life instead of fighting with it, you will be moved to the depth of your being… The highest state you have ever experienced is simply the result of how open you were.“When consciousness gets sucked in it no longer knows itself as itself.”.You have to break the habit of thinking that the solution to your problem is to arrange things outside.” This is the essential difference between a spiritually minded person and a worldly person… Worldly means that you think the solution to your inner problem is in the world outside… To attain inner freedom, you must be able to objectively watch your problems instead of being lost in them… Problems are generally not what they appear to be. “The act of maintaining objective awareness of the inner problem is always better than losing yourself in the outer situation.“There is nothing more important to true growth than realizing that you are not the voice of the mind– you are the one that hears it.”.Here are the other quotes worth remembering, which also follow those themes:
Stay aware in the present moment and let the rest go. Let it go let it go let it go with no more ownership or reaction necessary. Like a parade, just watch it go on past that’s your only role. Remember to just witness what happens, without defending against it, clinging to it, or even having an opinion about it. If you do that, you’ll discover you are awareness itself, consciousness itself. Really drill down and ask yourself who you are. To me, the main points discussed here are these.
If you really get the point, it could revolutionize your life for the better. Also, I could quibble with the logic in places (especially the last chapter), but the main thrust of the book is helpful. Maybe some people need it circled back to that way. I’d give the book five stars, however, by the end it hammered home its points too repetitively, so I’ll only give it 4 stars. I’ve returned now and read the whole book.
I started this book years ago and got to what I now know is my favorite bit, and quoted it here at length on this blog.
